Mortal Kombat 1 is coming off a brand new character launch with Ghostface now a part of the preventing roster, and a little bit earlier than that, we obtained the sport’s first main story enlargement with Khaos Reigns releasing this previous September.
A complete of 10 new fighters have been added to the sport because it launched final 12 months, on high of the Khaos Reigns story enlargement, with two extra DLC characters nonetheless on the best way.
Nonetheless in line with a brand new hearsay, as soon as these two extra characters are out, that’s all the extra content material Mortal Kombat 1 is getting.
Per Insider-Gaming, a hearsay coming from a leaker who has beforehand been correct concerning Mortal Kombat 1 content material claims that each one future DLC meant to come back after the present batch (Khaos Reigns and Kombat Pack 2) has been cancelled, allegedly because of poor gross sales of the primary enlargement, Khaos Reigns.
This implies future character packs not but revealed, and no less than yet one more story enlargement might’ve been binned because of the first enlargement promoting poorly.
After all that is only a hearsay, so take it with the grain of salt its price, even when its coming from a leaker who has gotten issues proper up to now.
Particularly as a result of it will be in distinction for Warner Bros to have cancelled this coming DLC, particularly when Mortal Kombat has been named a number of instances as one of many core-franchises that WB is focusing in on.
Just some weeks in the past chief govt officer David Zaslav referred to as out Mortal Kombat as one of many franchises that will assist WB Video games choose up the slack after saying the video games division is “considerably underperforming its potential.”
If Zaslav has rotated and cancelled future Mortal Kombat DLC, that doesn’t precisely scream confidence within the franchise as a core IP that’s meant to assist lead the cost for WB on its highway to being one of many world’s greatest recreation publishers.
It does nonetheless fall proper into Zaslav’s playbook to cancel or shut down initiatives which are both totally accomplished or no less than very far into manufacturing. That is in any case the identical man who binned a whole completed movie for a tax write-off.
