25 years after playing Sonya Blade in MK3, Kerri Hoskins (@KerriAnnGallery) puts on her Sonya costume again, looking exactly the same…. proving the world isn’t fair as the rest of us age.

For those who missed out on this version of Sonya Blade because you never played Mortal Kombat 3, it was one of many skins released in Mortal Kombat 11 after launch to offer different throwbacks to the veteran Mortal Kombat players. You can still get it in the game now if you don’t have it already by purchasing the Kombat Pack 1 that comes with a couple of DLC characters as well as exclusive skins. In that Kombat Pack, the Sonya Blade cosmetic is referred to as “War Games Sonya Blade.” You can also pick up the Mortal Kombat 11: Ultimate Edition to get that skin and much more.
Hoskins promised more Sonya Blade photos in the future, so if you want to see more of those, be sure to follow her on Instagram.
