Will we get more dlcs and characters after this pack?

[P0MK0NTHA1]

So I think two more or so are coming?

But will we get more characters after this or are they already working on something else?

I'd like to jump into this game but afraid it might not be supported as fighting game takes time to learn and I really look forward for new contents and characters, thanks!!

Nothing is confirmed yet, but it is quite possible for the game's support to end after season 2.

There are rumors that WB is gonna ax the game after the last DLC didnt made much profit.

WB has had over 40% in losses inntheir gaming revenue, so expect some cost cutting measures.

[Mr. Kahn]

low possibility ...this is the first mk game tht get so much criticism, the developer yet admit but they already understand its flop.....

[P0MK0NTHA1]

I thought MK1 was a success and not flop? Low steam review counts or concurrent players is concerning but maybe the majority of those who play MK1 are on consoles?

Clearly not as successful as the shareholder wanted it though.

The rumor was that year 3 dlc is axed(Expansion 2 and KP3). There could still be a KP2 AFTER this expansion finishes its guest releases...but nothing is 100% confirmed.

It was a success until they expansion pack released. It sold VERY poorly and honestly...I get it. I found it disappointing myself and I bought it. lol

Mk1 only sold 4 million copies compared to the 12 million MK11 sold.

To be fair a TON of those sales were when the game was super cheap on sale. SF6 was on point having an amazing release and came out earlier but has only sold as much as MK1...What do you have to say about that? That game isn't even banned in China or Japan. Also NRS marketing for MK11 was far superior than MK1's. MK1 was rested laurels for sure but you'd be crazy to think MK1 was not a success(base game only) for keeping up with the only other FG contender(SF) of that year(T8 was next year and is still in the 2mil range).

A failing expansion was incredible though. They really pulled off the unfounded for fighting games. lol Also MK11 sold 15mil to date not 12mil. It was casual GOLD. I'd bet my mortgage WB made NRS push out MK1 way before it was ready. You talk to anyone who has every worked on a video game before and they'll tell you there is no F'ing way NRS thought their game was ready but its not up to them in the end. Leagues below where MK11 was at launch.

WB tried to focus monetized live service games like Gotham Knights and Suicide Squad before pushing out MK1 half-assedly when they had to delay the latter that was going to TOTALLY BOMB. The writing is on the wall. I'm not saying MK1 wouldn't still have had issues cause the kameo system was fundamentally divisive but it would have been an easier pill.

Maybe, but it sold way less than MK11 nonetheless, which for the shareholders is considered a commercial failure.

One of the main reasons was that NRS strayed too far from it's roots. It all went downhill since MK11.

It's good to do something different after tenmillion sequels.

ROFL. Guess SF6(4mil) is a failure because SF4 sold 10.4 million copies and SF5 sold 7.7mil. Tekken 8(2 mil) is a failure because Tekken 7 sold 11.8 million copies. Its still too early to compare sales of current iterations with past games. This is why a game released almost a decade ago and has gone on tons of sales for megacheap should not be compared to current sales. Give me the source on MK11 sales from launch to the amount of time MK1 has been out and maybe you have a case but even then that doesn't mean it's a failure if it turned a profit.

I can sell 11 million copies of a game at 5$ a pop but I'd make more money selling 1 million copies at $60 a pop. Just basic math. And even if a game isn't performing as well as the one before in copies sold that doesn't mean it was at a loss.

You can say the game was a failure in the sense it hurt a lot of peoples confidence in the MK franchise(mine included) after such a ♥♥♥♥ show of a launch and how long it took(6 months minimum) for the game to even feel slightly up to par with where it should have been at launch but the game was a success financially(until KR).

I can sell 3 million copies of a game at 5$ a pop but I'd make more money selling 1 million copies at $60 a pop. Just basic math(dumbed it down a bit with the numbers).

MK1 has been out for over a year and they still sold less than what MK11 did.

When making a new game, its expected to perform better or at the very least about as good as the predecessor.

And guess what, the publishers of Tekken and Starfighter make a ♥♥♥♥ ton of money from other games, so it doesn't really matter to them how they perform as long as its popular.

WB doesn't have that. In fact, they lost over 40% in their revenue from video games. They can not efford commercial failures like Japanese publishers do.

The fact that Ed Boon is now hiding on bluesky and vague about the rumors is all you need to know what MK1 is getting axed by WB.

See I can believe that but how do you know? You need a source and even if you are talking out your booty you haven't provided any numbers(mine is just google best selling fighting games) and no way did you actually research it before you responded. You just want to say the game is a failure and are too stubborn to admit you have no clue in reality if it is or isn't.

We aren't talking about publishers profits from other games(first time either of us mentioned it and why does that suddenly matter?) we are talking about a single game being a success or failure based on copies sold of the franchise game before it...try to stay on point if you are going to bother to respond. Strawmans will get you nowhere with me. Don't suddenly change the subject as if anyone reading this will not know you are in a corner and trying to change the discussion to something else. You aren't talking to an 8 year old.

I did look it up and neither MK1 or eleven are among them, unless you mean the very first MK of course, which is indeed one of the best selling fighting games.

Its really just basic economics, you wanna sell a product, it net profit need to exceed your expenditure for said product. If the product does not or only nets a insiffucient amount of money, it will no longer be considered viable and just dropped.

This has happened with Anthem, Mass Effect Andromeda, now its happening with MK1.
