The producer of the game no longer is willing to promote the game on Twitter due to constant death threats. Final straw was someone threatening to kill his family if Reiko wasn't added in the game.
Scrubbed his Twitter account to remove all personal and business-related info on it.

“So to be clear. The reason I don't want to do this twitter anymore is not fans asking for characters or hints or whatever. I get that,” Himmerick wrote. “That is passion and love for the Mortal Kombat and I also have that. So I get it. No problem. I'm glad people care about their favorites.
“I used to be thick skinned enough for the random personal attacks. I'm a big boy I can handle it. I've been in my share of fights, However I cannot deal with the threats of violence to my wife and now young daughter. Threats of sexual violence are even more disturbing.
“You wanna fight me for Any(sic) reason. I'm probably willing to go, verbally or physically. I can hold my own. But threats on my ladies? No.”
