NEW Mortal Kombat DLC Character Peacemaker Kicks Butt

Feb 23, 2024 8:27 AM

Fans of the iconic fighting game franchise Mortal Kombat are gearing up for the latest addition to their character roster. The character Peacemaker, portrayed by John Cena in the series, will be available as downloadable content (DLC) for Mortal Kombat 11 starting February 28 for Kombat Pack owners, with availability for all players on March 6. A new gameplay video showcases Peacemaker in action, revealing his unique moves and combat style. This DLC also includes a tease about Janet Cage, a female version of the classic fighter Johnny Cage, who is set to join the game as a Kameo fighter in March.

Mortal Kombat 11, released in September on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Nintendo Switch, continues to expand its universe with these additions. The game has been praised for its accessibility, fascinating characters, and the signature gory fatalities that fans have come to expect. Kameo fighters are a fresh feature that adds depth to the gameplay, ensuring players remain engaged even after experiencing the infamous finishing moves.

When can I purchase Peacemaker if I don't have the Mortal Kombat 11 Kombat Pack?

You will be able to purchase Peacemaker as a standalone DLC from March 6, assuming you’re playing Mortal Kombat 11 but don’t own the Kombat Pack.

Mortal Kombat has been a staple in the fighting game genre since its original arcade release in 1992. Its blend of intricate gameplay mechanics, detailed lore, and famously brutal violence continues to attract a dedicated fanbase. Over the years, Mortal Kombat games have often pushed the boundaries with their graphic content, leading to the creation of the ESRB rating system. The franchise has expanded beyond video games into movies, comic books, and a range of merchandise, cementing its place in popular culture.
