Mortal Kombat 1 DLC Plans Scrapped: Is This the End for New Characters?

Los Angeles, CA – Rumors circulating within the Mortal Kombat 1 community suggest that future DLC plans for the game have been canceled. An alleged “verified insider” named Fate Unknown, known for having a reliable track record, claims that NetherRealm Studios has decided not to proceed with a second story expansion and third Kombat Pack. The poor sales of the recently released Khaos Reigns expansion, which received criticism for being overpriced and lacking in content, are believed to have influenced this decision.

Reportedly, there will be no additional characters after Kombat Pack 2, although there is a possibility of “a Kameo or two” as some work has already been done on certain content. These rumors emerged following remarks made by series co-creator Ed Boon in July, where he mentioned the potential for “years of content” for Mortal Kombat 1, stating that this is only the second year of the game’s existence.

Mortal Kombat 1, released in September 2023, saw its roster expanded with characters like Sektor, Cyrax, Noob Saibot, and guest characters like Ghost Face (Scream), Conan the Barbarian, and T-1000 (Terminator) as part of the Khaos Reigns update. While these rumors should be taken with caution until confirmed, any further updates will be shared accordingly.

As the possibility of DLC content for Mortal Kombat 1 potentially coming to an end arises, fans are left to ponder the implications of this decision. Share your thoughts and feelings on the matter in the comment section.
