Ed Boon confirms the much-anticipated Mortal Kombat 1 story DLC is on the way in which whereas teasing one thing huge to comply with from it. With the tip of MK1 clearly organising for an additional story to be advised, it’s nice to get affirmation that we’ll be seeing one thing, seemingly in 2024, to tie collectively the narrative.
Mortal Kombat 1 director Ed Boon spoke at CCXP 2023 on Sunday, December 3 about NetherRealm’s plans for the preventing recreation, giving us concrete affirmation of the long-anticipated story DLC, alongside extra of a cryptic tease as properly.
“Similar to we did with Mortal Kombat 11 we’re going to launch a second half with extra story and we’ve a giant shock after that,” Boon says. “So we’re going to be supporting the sport for even longer than we did for Mortal Kombat 11.”
Contemplating that Mortal Kombat 11 Aftermath – the story growth Boon mentions above – got here out 13 months after the bottom recreation of MK11, I’d say we’re going to be ready till no less than September 2024 for the story DLC for Mortal Kombat 1. I may very well be incorrect, and I hope I’m so we get it sooner, however that’s my estimate.

It’s all about to get much more multiversal, that’s for positive.
Boon’s “huge shock” stays an entire thriller although. It may very well be much more fighter DLC, extra story content material on high of the DLC, new recreation modes, or one thing utterly totally different. It received’t be saved a secret for lengthy although, I’m sure.
