<p>Mortal Kombat 1 launched back in September and became one of our favorite games of the year – read why in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.gameinformer.com/review/mortal-kombat-1/gory-glory"><em>Game Informer's&nbsp;</em>Mortal Kombat 1 review here</a>. Since its release, developer NetherRealm Studios has released additional characters, like&nbsp;<a href="https://www.gameinformer.com/news/2023/11/02/mortal-kombat-1-omni-man-gameplay-trailer-reveals-brutal-and-show-accurate-fatality"><em>Invincible's </em>Omni-Man</a>, while teasing <a href="https://www.gameinformer.com/2023/12/04/quan-chi-has-bones-to-pick-in-his-mortal-kombat-1-gameplay-trailer">other new fighters like Quan Chi and DC's Peacemaker</a>. Now, Mortal Kombat creator Ed Boon has teased even more new content on the way.&nbsp;</p>
<p>During the recent CCXP23 event in Brazil, Boon revealed that story DLC is coming, as reported by <a href="https://www.ign.com/articles/mortal-kombat-1-story-dlc-confirmed-big-surprise-after-that"><em>IGN</em></a>. </p>

<p>"Just like we did with [Mortal Kombat 11], we're going to release a second part with more story and we have a big surprise after that," Boon told the crowd at CCXP23. </p>
<p>Mentioning Mortal Kombat 11, it's likely that Boon was referring to its <a href="https://www.gameinformer.com/review/mortal-kombat-11-aftermath/mortal-kombat-11-aftermath-review-kombative-continuation#:~:text=I%20love%20how%20Aftermath's%20story,they%20know%20him%20to%20be.">Aftermath DLC</a>, which included an all-new story and more. After this story DLC release for Mortal Kombat 1, it sounds like players can expect even more in the form of a "big surprise." Unfortunately, Boon stopped short of sharing more about this surprise. </p>
<p>This additional content speaks to the studio's philosophy around supporting Mortal Kombat 1 post-launch. Boon said during CCXP23 that, "[We're] going to be supporting the game for even longer than we did with Mortal Kombat 11," adding that, "It's going to be fun." </p>

<p>If the recent cadence of content is any indication, Mortal Kombat 1 fans are in for a treat over the next few years with NetherRealm's latest fighter. </p>
