Summary

This suggested that DLC plans have already come to an end after less than two years.
Mortal Kombat fans really aren't happy about this, especially after being promised "years" of content.

players really aren't happy that the game's post-launch♏ support is seemingly already over since a Definitive Edition is🌃 being released, especially after being promised "years" of content.

Before 1 released, it was on a fast track to be one of the most exciting games to come from NetherRealm in a long while. The r🔯ebooted timeline, focus on ꦑbringing back 3D era characters, and unique Kameo mechanic all made Mortal Kombat 1 seem like a big reinvention for the series, and one that the stu🌠dio had a lot of fa♓ith in and plans for.

Noob,𓆉 Sektor, and Cyrax are🔴 great additions to Mortal Kombat 1, but they can’t save Khaos Reigns from being a disappointment.

That's not exactly what ended up happening, though. At launch, Mortal Kombat 1 was slammed for its "predatory" microtrans♋actions and lack of modes, with most fans seeming disappointed with the series' new direction. Over many updates, that negative reception changed and it looked like Mort🐬al Kombat 1 might end up rede𓆉eming itself with more time and DLC, something that we sadly won't get to see now.

Guess We'll Never See Chucky Or Invincible

Yesterday, Warner Bros. ann♍💎ounced that Mortal Kombat 1 will be getting a Definitive Edition re-release soon, suggesting that the game's post-launch DLC support has come to a close after less than two years. This was already ru💧moured to be the♈ case for some time, but it was never outright confirmed by NetherRealm, leading some to believe plans had changed after the Floyd update reignited a lot of intღerꦉest.

Now we know for sure that isn't going to be happening, Mortal Kombat fans are and across social media. , which points out that MK1 "JUST f**king came out" and is already🐭 finished, lasting less time than even the Texas Chainsaw Massacre game.

Other fans have pointed out that Ed Boon recently praised how well the game is selling, . While I'm sure that Boon is just as unhappy about it as MK fans are, it was a bold claim that the game would be supported for𝓡 longer than any other NetherRealm title.

Remember when Ed Boon s🅷aid we could end up getting gues꧃t character Kameos? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

The🌞 annoyance with how Mortal Kombat 1 has been handled since it launched has even got some fans labelling it as the worst game in the series (it's definitely not), . It's a sad end for a game that was just finding its footing, and one that seems to have really hit the Mortal Kombat community hard.
