Plus an official confirmation that he'll be playable, but that's not surprising too many people at this point

We already had our hunches that the Outworld gunslinger from Mortal Kombat X would be making his return here in Mortal Kombat 11, but today we've received total confirmation that Erron Black will indeed be playable in the franchise's upcoming entry.

This news broke over Twitter today as the Mortal Kombat 11 account posted the official artwork of the character along with the caption, "Deadliest Outlander in Outworld at your service. Erron Black shoots his way back into the tournament in #MK11."

We had already spotted Black in the MK11 story trailer which dropped back on March 6th. Though it wasn't stated outright, we did see him perform what looked to be the majority of a Fatality during that trailer, leading many to all but believe he'd be on the roster.

Upon closer inspection, we see that the character's outfit is somewhat different between what was shown today and what we saw in the story trailer. Today's image sees the character with exposed arms, a denim shirt and a hat without any bullets lining it. All of these traits differ from the look we got last week.

Given the MK fighters' multiple variations as well as MK11's vast customization options, we imagine we'll see more than a few more versions of the gun for hire in the future.

You can view Mr. Black's official character artwork as well as his alternate appearance from the story and then finally one of his looks from MKX in the gallery below. Be sure to let us know if you'll be playing him come the game's release on April 23rd.
