Reports Suggest Cancellation of Upcoming Mortal Kombat 1 DLC

A well-known leaker has stirred up the Mortal Kombat community by revealing that a new batch of downloadable content (DLC) planned for Mortal Kombat 1 is reportedly off the table. This decision supposedly includes scrapping another Kombat Pack and a new story expansion, with disappointing sales of the previous addition being cited as the main reason.

Under the headline “A planned second story expansion for Mortal Kombat 1 is purportedly canceled,” this information emerged from a post by user _FateUnknown_ on the popular Mortal Kombat Leaks forum on Reddit. The user stated that while Kombat Pack 3 and a second wave of story content were in the pipeline, both have now been shelved, apparently with no plans to introduce new characters anytime soon.

“Kombat Pack 3 and a second story expansion were on the cards,” the leaker detailed. “But they’ve been recently axed, so there won’t be any characters beyond those in Kombat Pack 2. We might see a cameo or two since work was underway on those, but that’s uncertain at this point.”

When pressed for an explanation, the leaker simply attributed the decision to poor sales of “Khaos Reigns,” as they stated, “Khaos Reigns sold poorly.”

As with any information from unofficial sources, it’s always advisable to maintain a level of skepticism. It’s worth mentioning, though, that _FateUnknown_ holds “verified insider” status on the subreddit, implying a certain degree of reliability based on their past revelations. Until more definitive announcements or confirmations are made, fans will have to bide their time until the next round of guest fighters hits the game.

Speaking of fresh additions, Ghostface from the Scream series has recently joined the Mortal Kombat 1 roster. The character’s moves delightfully echo the films, and their fatality is packed with meta humor that fans are bound to appreciate.

Gamers can still look forward to two more guest characters, yet to make their appearance in Mortal Kombat 1. These include the T-1000 from Terminator 2 and Conan the Barbarian, depicted as per Arnold Schwarzenegger’s portrayal. The exact release dates for these characters remain a mystery for now.

Launched in September, Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns incorporates a story expansion alongside Kombat Pack 2, featuring fighters such as Cyrax, Sektor, Noob Saibot, Ghostface, T-1000, and Conan the Barbarian. For those interested, the game and its expansion are currently available at half price in a Black Friday bundle deal.
