So, last week, NetherRealm Studios, the developer behind Mortal Kombat 1, dropped a bombshell with the release of the Definitive Edition. They pretty much hinted that the end is near for the game. Now, in an official statement, they’ve confirmed that they are shifting their focus to their “next project” to make it as awesome as possible. While they will still do some updates for Mortal Kombat 1 with “balance adjustments and fixes,” there won’t be any new “DLC characters or story chapters” coming our way. Bummer, right? Here’s the scoop straight from their social media post:
“We hear you, Mortal Kombat 1 fans! We’ll keep supporting the game with updates for balance and fixes, but sorry, no more DLC characters or story chapters down the line. We know it’s a letdown, but we gotta move on to the next big thing!”
Nope, they haven’t spilled the beans on what this mysterious “next project” is all about just yet. But you know how it goes. Rumors are already swirling, and fans are already throwing out their wishlists. Some whispers about Mortal Kombat 1 scrapping plans for more story and the third Kombat Pack started floating around late last year. Ed Boon, one of the brains behind the series, even hinted once that this game could have kept churning out content for years. Oh well, that ship has sailed. If you want to relive the glory days, you can still grab the Definitive Edition on the Switch for $59.99. Or hey, you can catch Mortal Kombat 1 and its buddies in action at Combo Breaker this weekend. How do you feel about all this? What are you hoping to see in NetherRealm’s next adventure?
