NetherRealm just dropped the bomb, folks! No more DLC characters or story chapters for Mortal Kombat 1. Yup, you heard it right. In a recent statement on X/Twitter, the studio made it clear that they won’t be releasing any additional content “from this point on”. Sorry, MK fans, but that’s the harsh reality we’re facing now. But hey, at least they promised to keep supporting the game with balance adjustments and fixes. Silver lining, right?
Fans are not taking this news lightly, with one player expressing disappointment over the lack of quality of life improvements, online lobbies, and locked skins. Ouch, that hurts. NetherRealm, what happened over there? It’s a tough pill to swallow, but the team needs to shift their focus to the next big project to ensure it’s a masterpiece. Can’t blame them for that, I guess.
As for what that next project might be, well, it’s all speculation at this point. But word on the street is that it could be none other than Injustice 3. Exciting, right? We’ll just have to wait and see. In the meantime, let’s not forget the recent release of Mortal Kombat 1: Definitive Edition, which came out quietly but packed a punch. With all the goodies bundled together, including new characters, skins, and animality finishing moves, it’s definitely a game-changer. Fans seem to have accepted that this is the end of the road for Mortal Kombat 1, as the definitive edition marks a new chapter in the franchise. So, what’s next for NetherRealm? Only time will tell.
