As a seasoned Mortal Kombat gamer with over two decades of bloodbath history under my belt, I must admit that this recent news about Mortal Kombat 1 has left me somewhat divided and nostalgic all at once.
A reliable source close to Mortal Kombat 1 has announced that the fighting game will not receive any further DLC once Kombat Pack 2 is concluded. In contrast to the previous title, Mortal Kombat 11, NetherRealm Studios initially intended to extend their support for a longer duration than they did with the earlier edition. Consequently, some fans assumed that Mortal Kombat 1 might receive multiple story expansions and Kombat Packs in the years following its release. However, it appears that the success of Khaos Reigns has prompted NetherRealm to alter their original plans.
As a dedicated Mortal Kombat fan, I’ve just learned some exciting (but perhaps disappointing) news straight from the lips of our trusted insider, Fate Unknown. It seems that NetherRealm Studios has recently shelved their plans for a third Kombat Pack and a second story expansion for Mortal Kombat 1. This implies that once Kombat Pack 2 hits shelves in early 2025 with the arrival of the T-1000 and Conan the Barbarian, we can expect Mortal Kombat 1 to wrap up its premium content releases. However, there’s still a glimmer of hope for future Kameo fighters, but as far as additional DLC goes, it appears that those plans have been called off for now. Keep your fingers crossed, fellow gamers!
According to an insider, initial plans for Kombat Pack 3 and another story expansion have been scrapped. They also mentioned that no further characters will be added beyond Kombat Pack 2, although there might be a few Kameo characters included since some work has already been done on them, but the details are still uncertain.
The rationale for this move by Fate Unknown is stated as being due to the fact that “Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns” didn’t sell well. Upon its debut in September, fans of Mortal Kombat voiced disapproval over the cost of “Khaos Reigns,” which was priced at a minimum of $49.99. This expansion did include all of Kombat Pack 2 and its six extra characters, but many gamers considered it too pricey, considering that Mortal Kombat 1 had been launched only a year earlier.
As a dedicated gamer, I noticed something amiss with the latest expansion for Mortal Kombat 1, titled “Khaos Reigns,” back in early November. It was strange because just over a month after its release, NetherRealm and WB Games slashed the price of its DLC significantly. This sudden sale raised eyebrows among us gamers, and now, with more information coming to light, it appears our suspicions were justified. The initial assumption that “Khaos Reigns” wasn’t performing as well as expected seems to hold true.
In the near future, NetherRealm Studios won’t be letting go of Mortal Kombat 1 anytime soon. They still have upcoming characters like the T-1000 Terminator and Conan the Barbarian to release as part of Kombat Pack 2, meeting their current DLC commitments. After that, expect more tweaks and bug fixes for MK1 to keep things balanced and address issues players may discover later on. However, as we approach 2025, it seems NetherRealm will start shifting focus towards a new game, which director Ed Boon has mentioned has been in development since 2021.
