After NetherRealm Studios announced that there will be no additional DLC characters or stories for Mortal Kombat 1, the development team is shifting focus to a new project. Although details have not been officially confirmed, rumors suggest that it could be Injustice 3, which would mark the studio's return to the DC universe after eight years. This decision comes after Mortal Kombat 1 received its Definitive Edition, completing the game's content.
While some fans are disappointed by the end of support for MK1, others eagerly await the announcement of the new game. Given the previous release rhythm of NetherRealm's titles, the announcement of the new project could come as early as this year.
