Mortal Kombat 1 unveils story DLC - but that's just the beginning, huge reveal looms

In a recent update for Mortal Kombat fans, it has been confirmed that Mortal Kombat 1 will receive a story DLC similar to Mortal Kombat 11's Aftermath expansion, followed by a "big surprise." Ed Boon of NetherRealm Studios announced the news at CCXP23 in Brazil, hinting at extensive support and content for the game surpassing that of its predecessor. The Aftermath expansion had previously introduced new story elements, characters, stages, and finishing moves to MK11. Mortal Kombat 1, which has already been teasing hidden Brutalities and introduced a controversial Seasonal Fatality Bundle, is expected to follow suit with rich, new content for fans to dive into.

Beyond DLC content, the character roster is expanding with Quan Chi being released alongside other notable characters like John Cena’s Peacemaker and Khameleon in a Kombat Pack. The team behind Mortal Kombat 1 appears to be ramping up their game with additional features and support to provide a longer-lasting and more engaging experience than ever before, potentially setting a new standard for the franchise and fighting games.

While specifics have not been shared, based on the previous pattern with Mortal Kombat 11, players can expect the Mortal Kombat 1 story DLC to include new story segments, characters, stages, and potentially unique finishing moves such as stage Fatalities and Friendships.
