Mortal Kombat 1 is coming off a brand new character launch with Ghostface now a part of the combating roster, and a bit earlier than that, we obtained the sport’s first main story enlargement with Khaos Reigns releasing this previous September.
A complete of 10 new fighters have been added to the sport because it launched final 12 months, on prime of the Khaos Reigns story enlargement, with two extra DLC characters nonetheless on the best way.
Nevertheless in response to a brand new hearsay, as soon as these two extra characters are out, that’s all the extra content material Mortal Kombat 1 is getting.
Per Insider-Gaming, a hearsay coming from a leaker who has beforehand been correct relating to Mortal Kombat 1 content material claims that every one future DLC meant to come back after the present batch (Khaos Reigns and Kombat Pack 2) has been cancelled, allegedly as a consequence of poor gross sales of the primary enlargement, Khaos Reigns.
This implies future character packs not but revealed, and a minimum of another story enlargement may’ve been binned because of the first enlargement promoting poorly.
After all that is only a hearsay, so take it with the grain of salt its value, even when its coming from a leaker who has gotten issues proper up to now.
Particularly as a result of it might be in distinction for Warner Bros to have cancelled this coming DLC, particularly when Mortal Kombat has been named a number of instances as one of many core-franchises that WB is focusing in on.

If Zaslav has rotated and cancelled future Mortal Kombat DLC, that doesn’t precisely scream confidence within the franchise as a core IP that’s meant to assist lead the cost for WB on its street to being one of many world’s largest sport publishers.
It does nevertheless fall proper into Zaslav’s playbook to cancel or shut down initiatives which might be both completely finished or a minimum of very far into manufacturing. That is in spite of everything the identical man who binned a whole completed movie for a tax write-off.
