At the Mortal Kombat 11 reveal event, Brian Tong had an exclusive interview with MK Co-Creator and head of NetherRealm Studios, Ed Boon. In this interview, Boon and Tong talk about how the series has evolved since Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Universe, the process of making the games both in terms of story, hype and technology, the creation of Reptile in Mortal Kombat 1 and the transition of rumored characters and finishing moves into actual ones.

During the interview at the 04:24 mark, Boon teased a "fan service big" character to return for MK11. Also, at the 06:30 mark, Boon teased a huge surprise regarding "a face that we are all gonna see". What those teases will lead to remains to be seen.

Earlier this week, we showed you the Behind-The-Scenes Video of Mortal Kombat 11, and in the 01:07 mark, the video shows Cassie Cage, the daughter of Johnny and Sonya, who is seen talking to the blue ninja princess of Edenia, Kitana (off-screen). Meaning that both Cassie Cage and Kitana will appear in Mortal Kombat 11.
Now, the YouTuber known as Super, who was at the MK11 reveal event in L.A., has posted a video showcasing the Custom Variations in full detail for all of the playable characters so far. At the beginning of the video, we also see what appears to be the main menu of the game, and on one of the options, titled "Kustomize", we see the first look at Kitana. Also on another option titled "Konquer", we see a character that appears to be the purple ninja prince of Edenia, Rain.
That's not the first tease we got for Rain though, as during the exhibition matches session of the reveal event, Sonic Fox, who was one of the competitors in the session, had Rain titled as his MK11 main. All things considered, it appears that Rain has also been confirmed for MK11.

Keep in mind that no official announcement has been made so far and until one comes try not to get too excited.
