it would seem as if epic is taking a page out of the book that namco wrote and will special guest warriors in the next Unreal title, of these you can expect to see Raiden, the thunder god of the MK series, i guess midway wanted to make the best out of their partnership with epic.
another little tidbit of info, the game promises to provide players with a unique experience for each character, each character will not only have trademark weapons and abilities but also their strengths will vary accordingly. each character is being given an actual personality which will affect how you progress through the game in both single and multiplayer.
character bios
Anubis
Nahkti male
weapon: nahki scorpions, energy staff
adrenaline: repulse, energy burst, heal, warrior spirit
age: 29
Anubis is a prince of the illustrious Reydi family whose ancestors include fourteen former Nakhti Emperors. Favored to win the Ascension rites ten years ago, Anubis left on the eve of the competition, leaving many to think him a coward. For the past decade he has served in the desert legion, honing his combat skills and revealing none of his secrets.
Selket
Nahkti male
weapon: nahki scorpions, nahkti swords
adrenaline: Repulse, Flash, Heal, Warrior Spirit
age: 26
Selket is a princess of the Jehfar family, and a distant cousin to Anubis. Her desire to be Empress has eclipsed all other minor concerns like ethics and morality. Selket holds little respect for the animal totem-religion of the Nakhti people. She prefers instead the lucrative opportunities that the Liandri Mining Corporation can provide her and her future empire.
Malcolm
Human male
weapon: enforcers, cryo staff
adrenaline: Iron Spirit, Sentinel, Heal, Homing
age: 54
The most famous Tournament player, Malcolm is a nine-time Champion whose face is recognized on every planet in the galaxy. His winning streak (and his spine) was snapped a few years ago by a crushing blow delivered by Gorge in the tournament finals. Malcolm never regained his former agility, but makes up for it with decades of experience. The Liandri use him extensively as a color commentator in their pre-game shows.
