This means that Red Hood will be available to players on or before June 13th, though we won’t have to wait long to confirm this as his official release will be announced on the aforementioned stream. The video gives us a pretty good idea of how Red Hood will play, with quick startups, decent zoning potential, and a trait that electrifies his pistol grips, giving his physical attacks a buff. It doesn’t look like he’s the hardest-hitting character, but his speed and adaptability should make up for that.
By changing the date in his Xbox One’s settings to June 13th, 2017, the original YouTuber was able to play as Red Hood through a variety of multiverse events.
It looks like we won’t have long to wait before we can try Red Hood for ourselves.
In any event, we’ll be able to get a more in-depth look at Red Hood by tuning into NetherRealm’s Twitch channel today, June 7th, at 1 p.m. PT.
