Mortal Kombat 11 is the latest entry in the acclaimed fighting game franchise and quite possibly, one of the best.

Recently, Mortal Kombat 11 Creative Director Ed Boon asked Xbox One owners if they would like Killer Instinct's Thunder skin for Nightwolf. Both of them are Native American warriors who have amazing fighting moves. Hopefully, this wasn't just said in jest, and a Thunder skin will be available for Nightwolf as soon as he joins the Mortal Kombat 11's roster.

We'll keep you posted as soon as we know more. Maybe an official announcement will occur soon because Xbox head Phil Spencer and the official Killer Instinct Twitter account acknowledged Boon's tweet.

In our review, we said, "Mortal Kombat 11 is a stellar fighting game and is one of the best ones ever made in my opinion. The depth and variety it offers are unparalleled, even by the likes of Injustice 2, another NetherRealm creation. There are so many characters to customize and master — with many more on the horizon — which should keep you enthralled for months to come."
