Future Mortal Kombat 1 DLCs reportedly cancelled

Contrary to its prior release schedule, NetherRealm went straight from MK11 to Mortal Kombat 1 – skipping their previous cadence of breaking up Mortal Kombat releases with a new Injustice game. Whether it be due to an oversaturation of the series, or the recent expansion which failed to make a mark, it seems future DLC for MK1 might have been cancelled.

As reported by known Mortal Kombat leaker FateUnknown via Reddit, a 3rd Kombat Pack and a second story expansion for MK1 was reportedly planned, however both have now been cancelled.

According to the leak, a couple Kameo characters might make an appearance, but all future proper DLC characters have now been scrapped.

When asked why NetherRealm decided to cancel its future DLC plans, FateUnknown stated that the Khaos Reigns Expansion sold poorly. Beyond this, the Steam page for the expansion holds a ‘mostly negative’ review rating due to a lacklustre and short story, as well as its high asking price of £39.99.

The decision to go straight from Mortal Kombat 11 to MK1 was a curious one. Unfortunately, it seems like it did not pay off. It’ll be interesting to see where NetherRealm chooses to go from here.

KitGuru says: What did you think of MK1 overall? Was the expansion disappointing to you? Should the Mortal Kombat series go dormant for a few years? Let us know down below.
