NetherRealm Studios has confirmed the addition of six DLC characters to the first Kombat Pack for Mortal Kombat 1. While speculation about the inclusion of DLC characters in Mortal Kombat 1 has generated significant interest among fans, NetherRealm Studios has yet to make any public statements regarding their authenticity. Nevertheless, the rumored character names have garnered positive reception, indicating a high level of anticipation for the upcoming reboot.
The Mortal Kombat community is buzzing with speculation about who will make the final roster. A leaked Mortal Kombat 1 roster seems to confirm the inclusion of many lesser-known characters, in addition to the familiar favorites. The list mentions names that haven't been seen in a while. While the leak is still just a rumor, Mortal Kombat co-creator Ed Boon has dropped several hints about the developers' intentions for the game's roster. However, one thing that can be confirmed is that Mortal Kombat 1 has officially announced six Kombatants, putting rumors about downloadable content to rest.
In the official Kombat Pack roster reveal trailer, viewers catch a glimpse of Invincible's Omni-Man. Following that, Ermac, DC's Peacemaker, Quan-Chi, and Takeda are all revealed on-screen. Finally, The Boys' Homelander appears at the end, confirming the previous leak about Mortal Kombat 1. The inclusion of such a diverse cast of characters in this pack suggests that NetherRealm Studios is not only paying attention to fan reactions but also striving to revive lesser-known names in the Mortal Kombat universe.
However, one of the most surprising aspects is the inclusion of Peacemaker. This version of the character appears to be the official DCU version, bearing a striking resemblance to WWE Superstar John Cena. John Cena has fully dedicated himself to the role of Peacemaker, even attending events in full character attire. NetherRealm has done an impressive job obtaining the rights to use Cena's likeness. While it remains unconfirmed if Cena will also lend his voice to the character, this unexpected crossover is sure to please many fans.
The addition of Takeda, Quan-Chi, and Ermac helps balance out the roster as these are beloved Mortal Kombat characters. It is worth noting that some fans may have preferred to see these three non-MK super-powered guests in NetherRealm Studios' Injustice series. However, there has been no announcement regarding a new game in that franchise. In recent years, NetherRealm has found success by incorporating a mix of collaboration characters from popular franchises along with their own series regulars. Perhaps the developers wish to continue this successful formula. Hopefully, this announcement will alleviate some concerns about the roster and generate even more excitement for Mortal Kombat 1.
Mortal Kombat 1 is scheduled to release September 19, 2023, for Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
