Jade was officially omitted from "Mortal Kombat X" in 2015, with game director Ed Boon announcing the news on Twitter and NetherRealm Studios doing the same during a live stream promoting the game. Kitana was instead shown using Jade's weapons in one of her three gameplay variations. She is neither seen nor mentioned in the game's story mode, but makes a cameo appearance in Kitana's ending. "Assassin Jade" was later added to the mobile version of "MKX" (Update 1.13 in 2017) and her second skin, "Day of the Dead", was added in a later update (Update 1.21 in 2018).
