Mortal Kombat 1 launched back in September and became one of our favorite games of the year – read why in Game Informer's Mortal Kombat 1 review here. Since its release, developer NetherRealm Studios has released additional characters, like Invincible's Omni-Man, while teasing other new fighters like Quan Chi and DC's Peacemaker. Now, Mortal Kombat creator Ed Boon has teased even more new content on the way.
During the recent CCXP23 event in Brazil, Boon revealed that story DLC is coming, as reported by IGN.
«Just like we did with [Mortal Kombat 11], we're going to release a second part with more story and we have a big surprise after that,» Boon told the crowd at CCXP23.
Mentioning Mortal Kombat 11, it's likely that Boon was referring to its Aftermath DLC, which included an all-new story and more. After this story DLC release for Mortal Kombat 1, it sounds like players can expect even more in the form of a «big surprise.» Unfortunately, Boon stopped short of sharing more about this surprise.
This additional content speaks to the studio's philosophy around supporting Mortal Kombat 1 post-launch. Boon said during CCXP23 that, "[We're] going to be supporting the game for even longer than we did with Mortal Kombat 11," adding that, «It's going to be fun.»
If the recent cadence of content is any indication, Mortal Kombat 1 fans are in for a treat over the next few years with NetherRealm's latest fighter.

What do you think this big surprise for Mortal Kombat 1 could be? Let us know in the comments below!
Mortal Kombat 1's addition of Quan Chi seemingly confirms that DLC characters won't be getting any additional skins, as was the case for Omni-Man when he launched.
Like previous entries in the series, Mortal Kombat 1 is rolling out plenty of DLC fighters, with the game’s first “Kombat Pack” including Omni-Man from Invincible, Quan Chi, Peacemaker from Suicide Squad, Ermac, Homelander from The Boys, and Takahashi Takeda.

Mortal Kombat 1 sees the arrival of Quan-Chi later this month, but in the meantime, Invasions Season 3 is now available for all players. Live until February 13th, 2024, Season of the Cryomancer sees an alternate universe Sub-Zero freezing everything in a path for conquest. Check it out below.
Mortal Kombat 1 will be getting cross-play support in February 2024, NetherRealm Studios has confirmed.
Mortal Kombat 1 already has some of the best Fatalities in the series, but it just got a whole lot better thanks to Quan Chi's second grisly finishing move.
Quan-Chi, cross-play, and more this winter.
Quan Chi, the cruel Netherrealm sorcerer and one half of Mortal Kombat’s famous deadly alliance, is now part of the Mortal Kombat 1 roster. He’s available as part of the fighting game’s first Kombat Pack DLC, and is the second post-launch character to join MK1, following Omni-Man.
These days, fighting games live and die based on their online playerbase, and yet, Mortal Kombat 1 did not launch with crossplay support. Thankfully, that will change relatively soon though, as NetherRealm Studios announced in a recent livestream that crossplay between PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PS5 will be coming in early 2024 (perhaps unsurprisingly, the ill-fated Switch version is left out).
Mortal Kombat fans have enjoyed the latest installment for a few months. Mortal Kombat 1 launched earlier in September of this year. However, fans who wanted to dive into the game and face friends on other platforms were left out of luck. Going into the launch, we knew that Mortal Kombat 1 wouldn’t feature cross-play support. However, it wasn’t something that was off the table. NetherRealm Studios was working to bring this feature out into the game, and now we have a launch window available.
During a recent livestream, developer NetherRealm Studios revealed that it is working on releasing cross-play multiplayer for Mortal Kombat 1 in the coming months. While the studio was unable to develop the feature in time for the game’s launch back in September, it has stated that the feature will be coming to the PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S versions of Mortal Kombat 1 in February.
