"Khaos Reigns Kollection" IS the complete release, right? Right?

Mortal Kombat 1 is a lower commercial success than Mortal Kombat X and 11 (I realized full price of base game is now the same as MK11), is a massive disappointment to many longtime fans, I despise the creative direction given to this game, especially furthering the multiple timelines when they should have abolished it (Let's STICK to this ONE Timeline until the end of the franchise), thus the lore of Mortal Kombat franchise is even more messy than it was in Mortal Kombat 11.
I don't even care how terrible this "Khaos Reigns" (very appropriate title) DLC will be, kill everyone for all I care, I just want this game to be over once they release the new characters, and let Mortal Kombat hibernate indefinitely. No more Ed Boon!
NRS, just drop the support to Mortal Kombat 1 as soon as final character is released and just make Injustice 3 already!

Nope theres leaks that they are planning a kp3 after khaos reigns even tho u view as a bad game the fact is it has sold extremly well just recently selling over 4 million copies wich is lower than mk11 and mkx however its only been a year so its still 1 off the fastest selling mortal kombat games ever sorry to say but overall this has been a success unless something changes they may do kp3 then after that we have no idea could lead into kp4 or injustice 3 or mortal kombat 13/2

That sucks, but it all depends on WB Games' greedy whims. I know Kombat Pack 3 was planned for Mortal Kombat X but it was Cancelled by WB Games to make Netherrealm Studios (NRS) develop Injustice 2. Mortal Kombat 11 had more DLC planned (Ermac was going to be playable, for instance) but it was cancelled to make Mortal Kombat 1. Injustice 3 was planned to be developed after Mortal Kombat 11 but it was delayed indefinitely to become Mortal Kombat 1 instead.
It is no coincidence there are so many "random" guest characters that would fit much better in Injustice 3, such as Homelander, Omni-Man, Ghostface (who is just a regular human) and Conan.
I mean, for all I am concerned, WB Games could just make NRS cancel this supposed "Kombat Pack 3" to force NRS to make a different game instead, whether is a new Mortal Kombat game or Injustice 3 or even another DC game.

Probably not if I had to guess. WB/NRS made it clear pre-launch they wanted this game to continue longer than any other MK game before it. We should at least get one or two more KP packs to make that accurate.

Can't say it will happen for sure just what they "wanted" to do before launch in some interviews. Anything could change though.

MK11 somehow lasted 4 years but the competitive community had lost a lot of the top players towards the latter half of its life cycle as players like SonicFox, Dragon had stopped playing the game.

I hope MK1 really turns things around with Khaos Reigns DLC and beyond if it has to last really long. We are barely a year into the game so it really needs to take off.

Agreed. Took way too long for it to be how it is now...should have been like this at launch, minimum.

Crossplay and unlocked 60 fps should have been day 1 features... while its finally here, it came a bit too late than people liked. And the consoles still dont have unlocked 60 fps like PC does.

I'm not sure if Mortal Kombat 1's support will last THAT long; Mortal Kombat 11 was a huge commercial success and had its post-launch plans cut short, imagine a game that sold far less than that. I understand the structure of Mortal kombat 1, with multiple timelines, could potentially allow for several years of support, but doesn't matter that much if the sales underperform.
And this "fastest-selling game" argument does not mean that much. For example, The Last of Us part II sold 4 million copies in a weekend (including pre-orders), then took 2 long years to reach 10-million copies milestone, which I consider "low" for a game with that caliber (should have been at least twice). And Alan Wake 2 was also the "fastest-selling" game of history of Remedy Entertainment, yet it had sold only 1.3 mi copies, and by this time I doubt it passed much more. So yeah, this "fastest-selling" rhetoric is just a PR stunt to overrate the commercial success of a game.

Initial craze doesnt translate to long term success.... MK11 was not competitively appealing and the top players abandoned the game out of lack of interest due to poor mechanics and lower esports prize pots.

MK1 really needs to improve on things big time else the shelf life wont be long

[werwolfgaming]

ok i see everyone saying mk11 had cut kp3 but according to WB and NRS that was due to covid if it wasent for covid theyd likely off done a kp3 for mk11

[werwolfgaming]

and i agree while its the fastest selling in a year that does slow down ALOT afterwards so its not like fastest selling mean great success just means they will think about supporting it longer from early success
