Mortal Kombat 1 Will Stop Receiving DLC as NetherRealm Focuses on Its Next Project
Warner Bros. Games has confirmed that the development of Mortal Kombat 1 has concluded, six months after rumors first surfaced about this. Through a statement on the official Mortal Kombat social media, they explained that NetherRealm will stop releasing new characters and story content for the game to focus on their next project.
The statement reads, “We are hearing players’ requests for continued game support of Mortal Kombat 1, and, while we will continue to support Mortal Kombat 1 through balance adjustments and fixes, there will not be additional DLC characters or story chapters released from this point on.”
What’s Next for NetherRealm?
In the message, they also confirmed that the studio is working on a new, yet-to-be-announced game. They concluded by saying, “We understand this will be disappointing for fans, but our team at NetherRealm needs to shift focus to the next project in order to make it as great as we possibly can.”
Historically, NetherRealm and Warner Bros. alternated between releasing a Mortal Kombat game and an Injustice game. Injustice is a fighting game series featuring characters from DC Comics, like Superman, Batman, and other superheroes and villains. Additionally, rumors of a third Injustice game have been circulating for some time.
