NetherRealm Studios has confirmed via a recent tweet that Mortal Kombat 1 will no longer receive additional DLC characters or story chapters. However, it will still receive balance adjustments and fixes. The developer claims it will focus on the next project to “make it as great as we possibly can.” Mortal Kombat 1 Definitive Edition was recently announced and is available now for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store for $69.99. The Definitive Edition includes the base game, the Khaos Reigns Story Expansion, several paid DLC character and skin released so far, pre-order skins, 1250 Dragon Krystals, and more.
We are hearing players’ requests for continued game support of Mortal Kombat 1, and, while we will continue to support Mortal Kombat 1 through balance adjustments and fixes, there will not be additional DLC characters or story chapters released from this point on.
