According to the trailer of Mortal Kombat 1, Shujinko and Motaro will be returning as Kameo Fighters in the latest Mortal Kombat. But Sindel and General Shao will be full-time playable characters.
If we dig down in the history books, we can find out that Sindel made her debut in Mortal Kombat 3. This is her third return, as she made her return in Mortal Kombat 11 in a DLC and as an antagonist in Aftermath.
The powerful tyrant of Outworld, General Shao, also made his debut in Mortal Kombat 3. He made his first return in Mortal Kombat (2011) as an NPC final boss.
Motaro the Centaurian also made his debut in Mortal Kombat 3.
