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.

NetherRealm has released a new trailer for Mortal Kombat 1, offering up some sorcery-infused Quan Chi gameplay and a release date for his arrival in the game. As well as that, this trailer also shows Khameleon in all her lethal glory, and gives us our best look yet at John Cena's Peacemaker in-game.
Quan Chi will be arriving in Mortal Kombat 1 later this month. The sorcerer is one of the characters from Mortal Kombat 1's Kombat Pack. If players have this DLC or the Premium edition of the game, they will be able to put him through his paces from 14th December.
Alternatively, Quan Chi will be available to download separately from 21st December.
As you can see in the trailer above, Quan Chi will bring plenty of tentacular portal chaos when he arrives in the game, kicking and transporting his opponents through many holes in space. Mortal Kombat? More like Portal Kombat, am I right?
We also got a look at one of his Fatalities, in which he summons sheets of glass panes down from above, for them to slice through his combatants with ease. As always with Mortal Kombat media, I advise waiting until after you have finished eating before watching.
Khameleon is also seen throughout Mortal Kombat 1's latest trailer, and she looks as nippy and as lethal as you would expect. Khameleon will be available as a Kameo character in January.
Last but not least, we see John Cena's Peacemaker popping up. While we don't see any gameplay showing off any of Peacemaker's moves, we do see him face to face with Quan Chi, where he informs the sorcerer he plans to beat him senseless.
Meanwhile, this weekend Mortal Kombat's Ed Boon stated the studio is going to be supporting its latest release for even longer than it did for MK11.
Speaking at CCXP, the developer said there are plans to «release a second part with more story». After this, there will be a «big surprise», although Boon did not go into further detail. He did, however, assure fans it's «going to be fun».

Warner Bros. recently attempted to placate angry Mortal Kombat 1 players with two 'free' Fatalities following an outcry caused by the decision to introduce a $10 USD Fatality animation to the game's already heavily-criticised premium

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 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).
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.
What, precisely, is the value of an actor's face in the world of video games?
Mortal Kombat 1 returnee Quan Chi will make his debut as the second DLC character added to NetherRealm’s latest before Christmas. The former miner was revealed as part of a gameplay trailer overnight, which you can watch above. In it, you’ll see the face-painted baldie unleashing all sorts of misery on a variety of opponents.

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.
