Last week, NetherRealm officially revealed their plans for the second year of Mortal Kombat 1. These include the Khaos Reigns story DLC expansion, a new Kombat Pack, and the arrival of Animalities as a free update. Obviously, it won’t end there either.
Speaking recently at San Diego Comic-Con, Mortal Kombat series co-creator Ed Boon mentioned that the latest entry in the series will provide “years of content” beyond this, and reiterated that this is only the “second year” of the game.
“We had Mortal Kombat 11, Aftermath and then Ultimate, right – so we’d keep adding characters, adding story and whatnot, so it’s kind of like the way we do our games now… we were pretty confident when we launched Mortal Kombat 1 that we’re going to do years of content, so this is year two.”
This isn’t the first time Ed Boon has said something like this, and these plans are no doubt subject to change.
These comments from Boon follow a statement from Warner Bros. earlier this year that mentioned it wanted to double down on its commitment to live service games, stating at the time that it was no longer about launching a “one-handed console game”.
Mortal Kombat 1’s Khaos Reigns story, Kombat Pack (containing six new fighters) and free updates will begin rolling out this September. The a new season of invasions it was also released live.
