Mortal Kombat 1 fans, it’s time to brace yourselves. The latest whispers from the underground suggest that future DLC for the game has been canceled, a revelation that could send shockwaves through the community. With insider confirmations piling up, players grapple with what this means for their highly-regarded franchise.
The rumor mill kicked into high gear at the end of November when FateUnknown, a prominent leaker within the Mortal Kombat community, dropped a bombshell on Reddit. They claimed that the future DLC for Mortal Kombat 1 had been scrapped due to disappointing expansion sales. As if that wasn’t enough, two additional insiders have since echoed these claims, leaving players uncertain.
One notable voice is X user (formerly Twitter) @thethiny, who shared insights from yet another insider: “The final insider has reached out and said that she also heard that there’s no more content after Terminator with a possibility of finishing what they originally had lined up since last year. Her KP3 list was also different. I have officially no hope left.” That’s a gut punch right there! The prospect of Kombat Pack 3, KP3 for those in the know, looks dimmer than ever.

For those unfamiliar with KP3, it was supposed to be our next taste of new fighters and content. Instead, we’re left pondering the fate of characters like Conan the Barbarian and T-1000 from Terminator 2, who were expected to join our roster but may remain in limbo. It’s like waiting for your favorite pizza topping only to find out they’ve run out at your local pizzeria.
NetherRealm Studios’ silence on this matter is deafening. Ed Boon has opted not to comment on these swirling rumors, a classic move that adds fuel to an already blazing fire. The tension is evident as fans speculate whether this decision stems from financial woes or creative differences behind closed doors.
The implications here are major. This news can feel like a betrayal for loyal players who have invested time and money into Mortal Kombat 1. in contrast, some may argue it’s better to halt production than release half-baked content that doesn’t meet player expectations, something we’ve seen all too often in recent gaming history.
This situation raises questions about how developers gauge interest in DLCs and expansions in the future. Will NetherRealm reconsider its approach based on community feedback? Or will this be yet another case where corporate decisions overshadow player desires?
