NetherRealm’s newest fighting game has a vast roster but the Mortal Kombat 11 Frost unlock is a bit more obtuse than any of the base fighters. She’s not available right from the start and players will have to figure out how to unlock Frost in MK11 in order to play as her. And in fact, there are actually two different ways to play as Frost.
Mortal Kombat 11 Frost unlock guide | How to unlock Frost
These two ways to unlock Frost in Mortal Kombat 11 will realistically just be one way for most players as one costs money and the other costs time. Frost is playable once players beat chapter four in the game’s story mode. This should only take a few hours as the campaign is not incredibly lengthy and about comparable to NetherRealm’s other single-player story modes.
The other way to unlock Frost is faster but probably not desirable for most people. Players can pay an unknown price (that is probably $5.99) through their console or PC marketplace to play as Frost up front without playing the story mode. This is similar to how players could play as Brainiac in Injustice 2, although he unlocked at the end of the game rather than a few chapters in. Paying for Frost is probably there for people who either don’t want to wait or for tournaments that have systems with no saves on them.
Unlocking Frost is different from Shao Kahn as he is currently a pre-order bonus and not unlockable through the story campaign despite his cameos in it. He will be sold separately too for mostly likely $5.99 much like Goro from Mortal Kombat X (although Goro was $4.99) and Darkseid in Injustice 2. Frost is also not immediately unlocked by default for those who buy the premium versions of the game. Everyone will either have to play some story mode or pay up front. This also means she is not in the Kombat Pack.
Mortal Kombat 11 Rejects

Characters You Won't See in Mortal Kombat 11's Roster
Few fighting game franchises introduce as many new challenges as Mortal Kombat. This can be a blessing, but also a curse. You might get an evergreen warrior with your new addition, or you might get a generic reject. Not everyone can make it into MK11, but these guys definitely won't make the cut. -
Bo' Rai Cho
Perhaps a controversial pick due to his many appearances, but Bo' Rai Cho never felt like a genuinely popular character. His unique moves and drunken demeanor make him stand out, but that goofiness also leads to a clash with the rest of the cast. Mortal Kombat works best when it's as straight-faced as possible, and that means you can't have vomit attacks. -
Drahmin
Introduced in Deadly Alliance. This Netherrealm Oni relies heavily on his spiked club for combat. In the days between the original trilogy and the modern games, Mortal Kombat introduced character specific weapons to stand out. So, while Drahmin had a place back then, he'd need a full redesign to fit in now. -
Khameleon
Khameleon has made two weird appearances in the franchise so far. She was a new character in the N64 version of Mortal Kombat Trilogy. Then, after being left out of the "everyone in the pool" Armageddon, she premiered in the Wii version due to fan outrage. It would be very strange to see her pop up again unless she somehow ends up in the Switch version of the game. And that is pretty unlikely. -
Kira
Premiering in Mortal Kombat Deception, Kira is a recruit for the "new Black Dragon." She's a generically heroic character despite her resemblance to an MK version of Harley Quinn. With the Kombat Kids filling the roles of new heroes, we probably won't be seeing much of Kira going forward. -
Kobra
Kobra is Kira's counterpart in Deception. He's a fiery recruit that's most notable for resembling Ken from Street Fighter. Kobra was briefly mentioned in Mortal Kombat X, but only as someone who Erron Black killed before the events of the game. That probably rules him out as a future entrant in the tournament. -
Mavado
Debuting in Deadly Alliance, Mavado uses Kabal's hook swords and grappling hooks in combat. With both Scorpion and Kabal present in Mortal Kombat 11, it'd be hard to fit such a fighting style in without repetition setting in. Plus, in a game filled with flashy ninjas and otherworldly creatures, Mavado is just a dude. -
Sareena
Despite looking like a human, Sareena is actually a demon, and that's the most notable thing about her. She fights with a pair of knives and her only appearance outside of Armageddon was a Game Boy Advance port of Deadly Alliance and a brief cameo in MKX's campaign. She has some story significance, but she'd basically be a new character if they were to bring her back. -
Taven
Taven is one of two new characters introduced in Armageddon's Konquest mode. Since he only appears in Armageddon, he's also one of only two characters who's never had a fatality. There may be some hardcore Konquest fans out there, but considering that his greatest deeds are written out of the current timeline, he's probably not popping up again. -
Tremor
We will admit, Tremor is pretty cool. He's a ninja who controls rocks, making his debut in PlayStation action game Special Forces. His first appearance in the fighting series was as a DLC character in Mortal Kombat X. He might be the most likely candidate for a revival out of these 10, but NetherRealm's ninja quota is probably already spent for 11.
