“Kombat Pack 3 and a second story expansion were planned. “Everything got canceled recently,” the insider said in a thread on Reddit. “No more characters after Kombat Pack 2. A cameo or two might make it as it’s been worked on, but I don’t know yet.”

As for the reason for this decision, Fate Unknown says it is Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns “poorly sold”. When it was released in September, fans of Mortal Kombat criticized the cost Chaos reigns since it sold for at least $49.99. Although this expansion also included the entire Kombat Pack 2 and its six additional fighters, many players found the DLC to be too expensive, especially given this MK1 had only been published a year earlier.

Early signs of Chaos reigns Underperformance occurred in early November when NetherRealm and WB Games launched Mortal Kombat 1 DLC at a big discount. This sale was particularly unusual as it occurred just over a month later Chaos reigns had started. Many assumed that this quick sale meant the DLC wasn’t selling well, and based on what we’ve now heard, that assumption appears to have been correct.

NetherRealm will not give up in the future either Mortal Kombat 1 anytime soon. As previously mentioned, the T-1000 Terminator and Conan the Barbarian have yet to be released as part of Kombat Pack 2 to fulfill the studio’s current DLC commitments. Thereafter, MK1 will likely receive further updates to balance the game and fix other issues that players discover over time. However, as 2025 rolls along, it looks like NetherRealm will begin to turn its attention to its next game, which director Ed Boon recently said has been in the works since 2021.
