Rumor: Future Mortal Kombat 1 DLC is said to have been canceled
According to a new rumor circulating in Life and death battle 1 community, future DLC plans for the brutal and bloody fighting game have reportedly been scrapped.
ONE Mortal Kombat “verified insider” called Fate Unknown – who is said to have a proven track record – is claiming NetherRealm Studios has canceled plans for a second story expansion and third Kombat Pack.
Poor sales of Khaos Reigns expansion (released in September this year) clearly contributed to this. Upon launch, the expansion was criticized by fans and critics for being overpriced and not providing enough content.
It is stated that there will be “no more characters after Kombat Pack 2” but there is still the possibility of “a Kameo or two” as there has been some work done on certain content.
This latest rumor follows comments from series co-creator Ed Boon in July, mentioning how Mortal Kombat 1 can have “five contents” and note that this is only the game’s “second year”.
Mortal Kombat 1 is released in September 2023 and the latest roster additions (as part of the Khaos Reigns update) includes Sektor, Cyrax, Noob Saibot as well as guest characters Ghost Face (Scream), Conan the Barbarian and T-1000 (Terminator).
