Mortal Kombat 1's Future DLC Plans Reportedly Canceled After Poor Expansion Sales
Insider claims NetherRealm Studios has scrapped plans for Kombat Pack 3 and a second story expansion following the disappointing performance of Khaos Reigns.
- A credible Mortal Kombat insider, Fate Unknown, reports that planned DLC for Mortal Kombat 1, including Kombat Pack 3 and a second story expansion, has been canceled.
- The cancellations are reportedly linked to low sales and negative reception of the Khaos Reigns expansion, which launched in September 2024 at a price of $49.99.
- Kombat Pack 3 was said to feature six characters, including five returning Mortal Kombat fighters and one guest fighter, but these additions will no longer be released.
- NetherRealm Studios will complete its current DLC obligations with Kombat Pack 2, which includes upcoming characters Conan the Barbarian and the T-1000 from Terminator 2.
- While future Kameo fighters may still be released, NetherRealm is reportedly shifting its focus to its next project, which has been in development since 2021.
