As it stands, dataminers have found information to support the idea that 11 more DLC characters are still coming to Mortal Kombat 11. Perhaps one possible scenario that could be derived from this is actually worse than Mileena never joining the game. The latter could be what Mileena is reduced to, effectively. Boon has joked about it enough that he and the team at NetherRealm Studios are well-aware of the demand, but it's also a good supply for trolls, jokes, and more.

There's a good chance that the remaining Mortal Kombat 11 DLC characters have been decided upon for some time, and even if that is not the case, there's no telling what these requests actually do. Yet the flood of demands for the character is a double-edged sword. And such, it's still not impossible that she returns.as far as the story is concerned.

This is perhaps the main reason she's not in the base game, but given the time traveling shenanigans on the core campaign, it was never impossible for her to return. Kotal Kahn orders D'vorah to do away with her, and D'vorah does so through a rather disgusting kiss. Mileena appears in different ways in Mortal Kombat 11, whether it's intro mentions or her design choices appearing else where, but as many are aware, she dies in Mortal Kombat X.
