Is Mortal Kombat 1 already doomed to a partial end? According to an alleged leak, NetherRealm Studios made a decision that would not go down well with fans who were expecting a long sequel.
Despite very solid returns and more than 4 million copies sold, Mortal Kombat 1 seems to be disappointing. After welcoming on November 19 the legendary Ghostface, the killer of the Scream saga, a backtracking seems to be underway. Obviously, the developers could at least partially continue while the game is still very new. Mortal Kombat 1 already dead? That would have gone very badly…
No Kombat Pack 3 for Mortal Kombat 1?
Ghostface (Scream), one of the promised fighters from Kombat Pack 2, is now in Mortal Kombat 1. A character that stays true to the series created by Wes Craven right down to his moves, with one of his Fatalities playing the card meta completely. But in all likelihood, this combatant could be one of the very last in the game, according to Reddit user FateUnknown, who has already leaked information about the license, it would smell very bad for the title. If next guests T-1000 (Terminator 2) and Conan The Barbarian are not canceled, Mortal Kombat 1 may not have a Kombat Pack 3. In other words, the sequel to this episode would likely be much shorter than expected, according to plans from NetherRealm Studios.
Why cancel Mortal Kombat 1 Kombat Pack 3 and miss out on new DLC? If FateUnknown's words are to be believed, this is due to the disappointing reception of the Reign of Khaos pack. « A Kombat Pack 3 and a second story expansion were planned. All that has was recently canceled and there will be no new characters after Kombat Pack 2. A cameo or two might arrive as it was being worked on. More I don't know yet what it is ». Reign of Khaos, which would not have had the expected success, includes the story expansion of the same name or even Kombat Pack 2 – with early access to guest fighters from Mortal Kombat 1.
Towards the end of MK1? Nope. If this rumor is confirmed, NetherRealm will certainly continue to offer free updates, especially balancing updates, so as not to neglect the community. On the other hand, it would be a nail in the coffin for additional content. The studio recently killed the mobile Mortal Kombat Onslaught. Warner has definitely shown his support and assured that he wants it “Do extra work” at several major franchises such as MK.
