Mortal Kombat 11 will not receive any more DLC, NetherRealm says

By Andrew Zucosky July 2, 2021

NetherRealm Studios announced on Twitter that it is no longer creating new DLC for Mortal Kombat 11. The studio will now focus on creating an entirely new project after supporting Mortal Kombat 11 with new content for about two years.

Mortal Kombat 11 was released in 2019 and has seen a rather healthy stream of DLC that added 12 new characters to the roster, which increased the total number of fighters in the game to 35. Many DLC characters, such as Fujin and Mileena, were characters from previous Mortal Kombat titles. However, NetherRealm Studios added five guest characters from different franchises: Spawn, Robocop, Rambo, Terminator, and The Joker from the DC comics appeared in the game as guest DLC.

NetherRealm is now focusing on its next project and after more than two years of supporting Mortal Kombat 11, DLC for the game, including characters, has come to an end.

Interestingly, the tweet did not indicate that it will cease support for the game in terms of patches, balancing, or ladder updates. With that in mind, there is a possibility that NetherRealm will still have an active hand in the life of Mortal Kombat 11. However, it will no longer add new content to the game.

For players who are interested in getting the full experience of Mortal Kombat 11, NetherRealm Studios released Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate in November. This ultimate edition includes all of the game’s story and character DLC content, in addition to costume DLC like the “Klassic MK Movie” skins that made certain characters resemble their 1995 movie counterparts.

Sub-Zero – Spine Rip | Best Mortal Kombat Fatalities

“Finish him!” Few phrases are more iconic in video game history, and few video games have caused more controversy than the Mortal Kombat series.

Spines are removed, heads are severed, and over the years, characters have been murdered in increasingly gross ways. The best Mortal Kombat fatalities are not just gory, but creative and humorous. Players get a kick out of seeing just how wacky the developers can go, and they’ve been blessed with some truly wonderful Fatalities from their favorite characters. From Scorpion's "Toasty" to Sonya's "Kiss of Death," here are some of the most brutal and iconic Fatalities from the Mortal Kombat series.

It’s a game that will help you learn the ropes of battle before you have to go head-to-head against real human players, but if you don’t play Mortal Kombat 11 correctly, you’ll find yourself losing match after match as your enemy counters your every move and finishes you off with a ridiculous Fatality. Using our Mortal Kombat 11 beginner’s guide, you can make sure that doesn’t happen to you. This is what you need to know when you’re getting started with the game.
Kombat basics

Mortal Kombat 11 is less combo-focused than its predecessors, relying more heavily on short strings of attacks and your ability to control the playing field with projectile attacks, jumps, and anti-air attacks. The majority of fights are best-of-three matches.
