NetherRealm Studios announced earlier this month that Mortal Kombat 1’s next DLC character, DC’s Peacemaker, would be released for owners of the Kombat Pack on February 28. Now, with a new trailer, the developer has released further details on the character, the DLC’s launch, and a new Kameo fighter.
For starters, Mortal Kombat 1 players who don’t have the Kombat Pack will be able to start purchasing the Peacemaker DLC on March 6. Bearing the likeness and voice of John Cena, who portrayed the character in The Suicide Squad and HBO’s Peacemaker, the antihero will be equipped with a devastating moveset that will make use of his guns, his brawns, his wnged companion Eagly, and his helmet, while you can, of course, also expect plenty of brash and irreverent humour from him. His Fatality, meanwhile, will see him put his jetpack and Sonic Boom ability in gloriously gruesome fashion.
Meanwhile, NetherRealm Studios has also revealed a new Kameo fighter in the form of Janet Cage, who’s an alternate variant of Johnny Cage. She will be released at a later date in March. Check out the trailer below for a glimpse of both characters.
After Peacemaker, Mortal Kombat 1 still has some upcoming DLC fighters left on its current post-launch roadmap, with Ermac and The Boys’ Homelander set to arrive sometime in the spring, and Takeda Takahashi in the summer. Additionally, creative director Ed Boon has confirmed that NetherRealm Studios is working on a paid story expansion.
Mortal Kombat 1 is available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC. As of late last month, it has sold 3 million units worldwide.

The Oscars is one of the biggest — if not the biggest night in the American entertainment industry every year, and the 2024 Oscars were no different. All the stars were out tonight, from best actor nominees like Jeffrey Wright, Paul Giamatti, and Cillian Murphy to best director nominees like Christopher Nolan, Martin Scorsese, and Jonathan Glazer.
Warner Bros has decided to make Mortal Kombat 1 free-to-play for this weekend, from today to 10th March, along with providing a sweet 40% discount on Steam.
WWE 2K24 is jam-packed full of wrestlers, and we’ve got the roster laid out for you alongside a full list of incoming DLCs that are set to add even more down the line.
WWE 2K24 blurred out former WWE chairman and CEO Vince McMahon's face from some archived footage in its Showcase of Immortals game mode, although there's another instance where he appears fully uncensored, IGN has verified.
NetherRealm Studios has released a new Mortal Kombat 1 video featuring actor and wrestler as he discusses his DLC character, Peacemaker. The character is now available to purchase for anyone who didn’t already have him through the game‘s Season Pass.
With WWE 2K24 around the corner and the full roster list revealed, wrestling fans were worried that the Voice of the Voiceless, CM Punk, would miss out on this year’s instalment of the game. After all, Punk made a shocking return to WWE at the 2023 Survivor Series, so it would have been a modern miracle for the development team at Visual Concepts to somehow include him in time for the base game’s release on March 8.
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.
NetherRealm Studios has announced that Mortal Kombat 1’s fourth season of Invasions, Season of the Huntress, is live until April 16th. A new trailer announces rather blandly that players must battle an army of Ultra Mileenas. Yes, that’s really it, though the cameos from past versions of Mileena in the art are cool. Check it out below.
After being announced for one of the biggest fighting game franchises, John Cena's popular Peacemaker character is also now headed to Injustice 2 on mobile. While it may not be as big of a development as Peacemaker coming to Mortal Kombat 1, fans of the antihero will be thrilled to have another game in which they can play as him.
NetherRelam has just released the patch notes for the new Peacemaker update, which is now available in Early Access to those who purchased the game’s Premium Edition. While he was once a relatively obscure DC Comics antihero, Peacemaker (real name Christopher Smith) has garnered mainstream attention over the past few years thanks to WWE star John Cena’s performance in DC Extended Universe projects like The Suicide Squad and the Peacemaker series on Max. This has led to Peacemaker being included as a DLC guest fighter in Mortal Kombat 1 alongside the previously released Omni-Man and the upcoming Homelander.
