Hotaru and Havik were two of the best 3D characters. Up there with Kenshi. Their dynamic of order vs chaos could've played very well into MK 11's story of Kronika changing the realms and timeline.
Hotaru should return in MK1 as the God of the Orderrealm. I'm not sure he'll be on the main roster at first, but maybe as DLC. They confirmed us Havik and we need his counterpart.
For me the KP3 in MK11 the first character will be: mileena I know He's not dead just beacuse they have different timeline that will make come back alive right?
