The Mortal Kombat 1 development team has sparked curiosity among fans with a recent social media post hinting at upcoming “thrilling updates” for the game. Details about these changes remain scarce, leaving enthusiasts to speculate based on past statements and trends within the franchise. While it’s possible that these updates could involve relatively minor adjustments, there is optimism that they might polish the game to make it even better.
In reference to X, the Mortal Kombat 1 team encouraged players to keep an eye out for updates and welcomed ideas regarding any possible improvements they might consider.

Introduced in 2023, Mortal Kombat 1 garnered positive responses from series enthusiasts overall. Yet, it drew criticism from some quarters due to an abundance of microtransactions and frequent adjustments (buffs or nerfs) that negatively impacted the gameplay for preferred characters. Some fans anticipate that the developers might be working on a finishing touch to balance the game, ensuring a consistent experience for those who plan to continue playing.
Previously, NRS (NetherRealm Studios) has released a ‘Final Patch’ for their games, which typically adjusts the overall strategy or balance of the game in some manner. For instance, Mortal Kombat X received balance adjustments and an overhaul of its armor system. Mortal Kombat 11 saw the addition of Custom Character Creation and was made slightly faster.
It appears that some players had hoped for more features to be included, but considering the language used in the announcement, it seems unlikely this will happen. Moreover, it’s probable that the game’s content is no longer being worked on at this point. The last significant update for Mortal Kombat 1 was back in May, and fans were disappointed when NetherRealm stated that major development for the game would cease.
The official account for Mortal Kombat 1 announced in May that they won’t release any more downloadable content characters or story expansions. Instead, they plan to maintain the game by making balance changes and fixing issues.
Although we realize this might be disheartening for fans, our team from NetherRealm Studios must divert their attention towards a new project to ensure it reaches its full potential,” as stated by the Mortal Kombat 1 official account.
Here’s hoping that these alterations will spark enthusiasm among fans, enticing them to come back and re-engage with the game, ultimately ensuring its stability for passionate gamers in the future.
