Although players are full of expectations and Ed Boon, the creative director of the Mortal Kombat series, mentioned that it will provide long-term support, the official has confirmed that Mortal Kombat 1 will no longer launch additional DLCs in the form of characters or plot chapters.

NetherRealm Studio said in a statement released by the official Twitter account of Mortal Kombat that the team "understands players' demands for continued game support", but will not launch new content except for balance adjustments and fixes.

This update on Friday actually confirms the ending that many players have expected - last week's Mortal Kombat 1 announced that it would launch the "ultimate version", which is almost equivalent to implying that content development has been fully over.This news made players particularly dissatisfied. After all, just last September, Boon also said that "NetherRealm is still fully committed to supporting Mortal Kombat 1 for a long time to come."

The official subsequently added that NetherRealm will turn its focus to the next project, "strive to build it to the extreme."Although the new project title has not been announced, there have been reports that Injustice 3 may be the studio's next work - a reliable whistleblower has suggested this, and the launch of the new Injustice game is also in line with the logic of the series' release.

In any case, Friday's news put a regrettable end to the game that was initially full of potential.Shortly after the release of "Mortal Kombat 1", it caused controversy over micro-transaction issues. Although subsequent DLCs (such as "Motherlander" and "Ghost Face" characters) briefly rekindled players' interest, the cancellation of the DLC plan and the sudden official announcement of the "Ultimate Edition" once again extinguished their enthusiasm.May Mortal Kombat 1 rest in peace.
