The dataminer cautioned, however, that certain changes may occur before an official announcement is made.
Previously, during an interview, Mortal Kombat 1 director Ed Boon revealed that the game will receive a story expansion similar to Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath, followed by a “big surprise”. He mentioned that the studio will be supporting the game for even longer than it did with Mortal Kombat 11. The studio’s commitment to supporting the game for a lengthy duration was also indicated by Warner Bros Discovery Inc’s earnings call, where the company revealed plans to further drive monetization through live service strategies.
Mortal Kombat 1 is the twelfth main installment in the Mortal Kombat series, serving as both a sequel to Mortal Kombat 11 (2019) and the series’ second reboot, following Mortal Kombat (2011). The game was released for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S on September 18, 2023.
