Future Mortal Kombat 1 DLC Cancelled After Poor Expansion Sales

It appears as though future content for Mortal Kombat 1 is ending after Kombat Pack 2 wraps up. According to new claims, developer NetherRealm Studios has cancelled DLC plans for a Kombat Pack 3 and second story expansion for Mortal Kombat 1.

Known Mortal Kombat 1 leaker FateUnknown posted on Reddit that the cancellations happened recently after the Khaos Reigns expansion sold poorly.

It’s not all bad for Mortal Kombat 1 fans as there are still characters from Kombat Pack 2 to join the roster such as Conan the Barbarian and T-1000 from Terminator 2. FateUnknown also said that its possible a “kameo or two” make it to the game due to work that had already been done on them but he “didn’t know yet”.

Insider Gaming has reached out to NetherRealm Studios for comment on the claims. Should a response be received, this story will be updated.

Recently, Warner Bros. showed commitment to the Mortal Kombat series when CEO David Zaslav said that future game development efforts was going to be focused on its core franchises with Mortal Kombat being listed among them. Series head Ed Boon has already said, as well, that NetherRealm had been working on its next game even before Mortal Kombat 1 was released.
