Mortal Kombat 1 DLC Reportedly Canceled After Disappointing Post-Launch Performance

In the wake of declining interest in *Mortal Kombat 1*, credible leaks suggest that Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and NetherRealm Studios have abandoned plans for additional story downloads and guest fighter integrations originally slated for the game.

*Mortal Kombat 1*, which launched in September 2023, initially enjoyed significant success. However, the game’s ability to maintain this momentum has faltered over time. Issues such as balance problems and erratic post-launch support have contributed to a noticeable decline in player engagement, which could ultimately affect overall sales. To date, *Mortal Kombat 1* has sold over four million copies within its first 11 months—a stark contrast to *Mortal Kombat 11*, which sold 12 million units during its first two years.

Given the current trajectory, it appears unlikely that *Mortal Kombat 1* will reach the same sales benchmarks as its successful predecessor in the near future. Furthermore, leaks suggest that marketing initiatives for the title may be limited, raising concerns about its future content.

Rumors Surrounding Kombat Pack 3 Cancellation

A reliable leak from known *Mortal Kombat* insider _FateUnknown_ suggests that plans for a second story expansion and Kombat Pack 3 have been scrapped. This was highlighted in a Reddit post where the leaker stated, “Kombat Pack 3 and a second story expansion were planned but have since been canceled. There will be no more characters after Kombat Pack 2. A kameo or two might see the light of day since some work has been completed, but details are scant.”

When pressed for the rationale behind the cessation of upcoming DLC content, _FateUnknown_ cited that “Khaos Reigns sold poorly.”

*Khaos Reigns* debuted in September 2024, but at its price point, many players found it difficult to justify its purchase.

At this time, both NetherRealm and WB Games have not clarified what the future holds for *Mortal Kombat 1* once Kombat Pack 2 support wraps up. Therefore, fans should approach these cancellation rumors with caution.

In addition to disappointing match sales, *Mortal Kombat 1* has faced further setbacks, including its absence from the lineup for Evo France’s 2025 event, even though the game was showcased at the 2024 tournament.
