Update: This has now been confirmed by WB Games.

Original story as follows:

Mortal Kombat X’s latest roster additions have been leaked ahead of an expected announcement at The Game Awards.

All Games Beta has footage of a video that was published on YouTube early and then removed, revealing four new characters coming to Mortal Kombat. Leatherface from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre films and Xenomorph from the Alien franchise are reportedly joining the Mortal Kombat X roster, as well as classic Mortal Kombat drunken fist character Bo Rai Cho, and Tri-Borg, a new cyborg combining Cyrax, Sektor, and Robot Smoke into one character.

Shoryuken has uploaded a copy of the trailer, which can be seen below:

The leaked trailer shows Leatherface wielding his trademark chainsaw and the Xenomorph that has adapted to the Tarkatan race, giving it long sword-like claws like classic Mortal Kombat character Baraka.

According to a leaked statement, the Kombat Pack 2 is expected to be released in the first quarter of 2016.

A few months ago, developer NetherRealm Studios confirmed more DLC is coming to Mortal Kombat X. A roster announcement was expected to come at The Game Awards, taking place later tonight at 6:00pm PT/9:00pm ET. You can watch The Game Awards right here at IGN.
