Mortal Kombat 11 is experiencing a bit of a resurgence thanks to the recent release of the Aftermath expansion. With three new DLC characters, new gameplay features, and some brand new story content, the Aftermath expansion has captured the attention of lapsed players and new fans alike. After playing Mortal Kombat 11, some fans may be wondering who is voicing their favorite characters, particularly when it comes to fan favorite Sub-Zero.
Throughout most of Mortal Kombat 11, Sub-Zero is portrayed by celebrated voice actor Steve Blum, who has voiced the character since Mortal Kombat X. However, there is an alternate Sub-Zero skin in Mortal Kombat 11 that uses a different voice actor. The Dimitri Vegas Sub-Zero skin features the likeness of the DJ, as well as his voice.
The Dimitri Vegas Sub-Zero skin is notable for its poor voice acting, and hearing two distinctly different actors playing Sub-Zero in Mortal Kombat 11 could be why some fans may be confused about his voice actor. This should go a long way in clearing things up for anyone wondering why Sub-Zero has multiple different voices in Mortal Kombat 11.
Dimitri Vegas' Sub-Zero performance isn't the only voice acting that was criticized in Mortal Kombat 11. As some may recall, Ronda Rousey's turn as Sonya Blade also drew a great deal of criticism at the time, with many feeling Rousey's performance left a lot to be desired. Considering the reaction to the voice acting performances by Rousey and Vegas, it will be interesting to see if NetherRealm Studios sticks with professional voice actors for future Mortal Kombat games and its next project.
As it stands, it remains to be seen exactly what NetherRealm's next project will be. Rumors claim that NetherRealm is working on an Injustice 3 video game, but that has yet to be confirmed. It's possible NetherRealm will jump right in to Mortal Kombat 12 instead, especially with new consoles on the way, or maybe the studio is working on something completely different.
While it's a long shot, it is possible that fans will get to see NetherRealm's next project sooner rather than later. Warner Bros. was apparently going to have an E3 press conference this year, but with E3 canceled, it now has nowhere to show off its E3 announcements. It's possible that the company will host some kind of event this summer in place of E3, and if so, there's a chance the next game from NetherRealm could be present. Fans will just have to stay tuned to find out one way or the other.
Mortal Kombat 11 is out now for PC, PS4, Stadia, Switch, and Xbox One.
