Can You Play as Shao Kahn MK9?
Mortal Kombat 9 is a fighting game that introduced several iconic characters from the Mortal Kombat universe. Among them is Shao Kahn, the Emperor of Outworld, who becomes a boss character in MK9. In this article, we’ll explore if it’s possible to play as Shao Kahn and how you can unlock his character in the game.
Unplayable until Kombat Pack
Regrettably, Shao Kahn is not playable in his initial release. He first appears as a boss in the Story mode, followed by other appearances in Arcade Ladder, Challenge Tower, and Playable Storyline matches. You cannot play with Shao Kahn as part of the game’s roster, unless you purchase and download the Kombat Pack, which includes two additional characters: Kratos from God of War series and Sindel, Netherrealm’s Queen and Shao Kahn’s Wife.
Challenge Tower Exclusive
While Shao Kahn does not appear as a fully playable character in the retail version, he can still be controlled in the special Challenge 117, "Unstoppable Fury," of the Bonus Challenge Tower Mode on the PlayStation Vita version. To access the challenge, you need a physical copy of MK9, which includes online multiplayer.
Kintosh Village Encounter
In-game, you’ll encounter Shao Kahn in Kintaro, in his own cutscene sequence, as seen in Challenge 109: Kintaro Tower and Challenge 111: Kintaro Tower – Second Round, Second Place. Please note that Kintaro is the primary antagonist instead of Shao Kahn when the cutscenes are accessible.
Character Profile: Kabal
Mortal Kombat 10, an iteration of Mortal Kombat XI, provides some insight, hinting that Shao Kahn has been worshipped by Kabal followers, while Shao Khan himself claims that Queen Sindel’s betrayal changed everything, possibly referring back to Sindel’s ultimate act.
Elder God Allegiance
Reports indicate Shao Kahn **being an offspring of _an Elder God_ from an early background_. Notwithstanding, if Shao Kahn is treated as a god, don’t misunderstake his demigodic descent; the Elder Goddess could potentially be thought of in the universe. These ancient ties strengthen Shao Kahn’s legend in Outworld.
