The Most Informative Mortal Kombat Source on the Web

The official Mortal Kombat X page has just announced that DLC characters and story chapters support for Mortal Kombat 1 (2023) has officially ended. This is not going to affect any necessary balance adjustments or bug fixes that the studio still plans to address.

The officially given reason is that while the developer understand the disappointment of some of the fans connected to the announcement, they need to shift focus in order to make their next project as successful as possible. Have a look:
To put things into perspective, lets make a breakdown and look at how Netherrealm Studios and WB Games have supported the Mortal Kombat games so far:

• Mortal Kombat X (Released in April 2015): Last DLC update came in March of 2016, 11 months after release in April of 2015 and the last balance patch was in October of 2016 (1.5 years post release).
• Mortal Kombat 11 (Released in April 2019): Last big DLC update was in November of 2020, 1 year and 7 months after release, with one more DLC skin pack update a month later. Last balance patch for the game came in May of 2021 (2 years and 2 months post release). Additionally the game received 2 more updates. One to add XBox/MS PC Store cross play (April of 2022) and another with Store adjustments (December of 2022 - 3 years and 9 months post release).
• Mortal Kombat 1 (2023) (Released in September 2023): Last DLC update with T-1000 from Kombat Pack 2 earlier this year in March (1.5 years post release).

While DLC support is over, players will still have new skin palletes to unlock all the way until Season 16 of Invasions (repeat of Season 8 of that mode, coming in January of next year). Plus, judging by how patches for the game have been organized, every season will still until be accompanied by a balance/bug fix patch of some sort until Season 16, so we can expect overall improvements until earlier next year.

Author's Opinion: While some fans expect the next game from NetherRealm Studios to be Injustice 3, I don't think it is going to happen. Ed Boon said by himself, when MK1 (2023) just revealed, that originally considered making IJ3 after MK11 but then went with MK1 (2023) because otherwise the gap between the two MK games will be too long and some fans won't be happy about it. Plus, Injustice doesn't sell as much as Mortal Kombat, and considering that games take way more time and money to develop nowadays, it seems that WB Games would rather let NRS to focus entirely on MK at this point, as even they said several months ago that they are gonna double down on MK.

With all this said, we wish Netherrealm Studios the best of luck with their next project.

It's a bit late, but better late than never. As we are in the 2nd rotation of Season 4 in Invasions mode for Mortal Kombat 1 (2023), AKA the Season of the Huntress, one of the Mesa-end bosses is Oyabun Kenshi. Like all Mesa-end bosses, Kenshi has at least 3 phases, and before the final one, he sends Sento to fly all over the screen back and forth to hit the player.

However, it turns out that you can avoid Sento entirely. All you have to do is go to the corner and it won't hit you. Of course you need to go to the corner fast enough, otherwise you would get hit.

This can help you against Oyabun Kenshi not only now in Season 4, but whenever you face him other fights in Invasions or Towers of Time, such as the Seasonal Tower. So if whatever you still didn't reach his fight now in Season 4 or you happen to encounter him another time, use this make sure that once you can fight against Kenshi, you will be at full health.

The official Mortal Kombat YouTube page has uploaded a new trailer, this time of the Definitive Edition of Mortal Kombat 1 (2023). As the name suggest, this edition of the game includes all the content that has been released for the game: The base game, Kombat Pack 1, Khaos Reigns alongside Kombat Pack 2, and all other additional stuff added to the game over time. Speaking of, as the trailer shows, the skins based on the upcoming Mortal Kombat 2 Movie have also been included, and they are now live in the Premium Shop at the time of this news posting.

Now it is easy to assume that this means that there's no more content coming to MK1 (2023), however, there are more skins for various characters that have been confirmed to be added to the game as all the seasons of Invasions/Towers of Time are now coming in their 2nd rotation, with new skins coming at the beginning of each season. Also, in this trailer itself, in it's end, it says "And more". Now yes, this could mean just the single player modes like Invasions and Towers of Time, or perhaps the skins, or both, but it could also mean that there's still more content coming to the game. As you remember Mortal Kombat 11 got it's Ultimate Edition in November of 2020, and just one month later, it got more skins that were not in the game before, and even after it was announced that there will be no more support for the game, it got more features and changes that were not in the game before over a year later.

Anything is possible when it comes to Mortal Kombat, we will just have to wait and see.
