Mortal Kombat Fans Are Fuming MK1’s Support Appears to Be Over
It’s been less than two years since Mortal Kombat 1’s release, but it looks like NetherRealm Studios is already pulling the plug, after the fighter reportedly underperformed. It’s worth noting that this is a Mortal Kombat game, so it still topped five million units, but it did so slower than predecessors Mortal Kombat 11 and Mortal Kombat X.
First, let’s get to the news: Mortal Kombat 1: Definitive Edition is available now for $69.99. You can also purchase an upgrade pack from the base game for a pricey $59.99.

Here’s everything it includes:
- Base Game
- Khaos Reigns Story Expansion
- Kombat Pack 2
- Noob Saibot
- Cyrax
- Sektor
- Ghostface
- T-1000
- Conan the Barbarian
- Madam Bo Kameo Fighter
- Kombat Pack
- Omni-Man
- Quan Chi
- Peacemaker
- Ermac
- Homelander
- Takeda Takahashi
- Kameo Fighters
- Tremor
- Khameleon
- Janet Cage
- Mavado
- Ferra
- Jean-Claude Van Damme Skin for Johnny Cage
- 1,250 Dragon Krystals
- Mortal Kombat Movie Skins for Johnny Cage, Shao Khan, Kitana, Scorpion, and Sub-Zero
- Tournament Liu Kang Skin
- Havik Instant Unlock
- Kameo Unlock Pack
- Shang Tsung Fighter
- Khaos Reigns Pre-Order Skins
A lot of content, then, but fans aren’t happy after NetherRealm Studios said it’d support the game for “years to come” but appears to be wrapping things up after 20 months.
“I’m not gonna lie,” one Reddit user said, “I think I’m done with NRS for a while. They did this with MK11 and I was hoping it was just a one-time thing and they’d learn their lesson. It’s my fault for giving them benefit of the doubt. Never again.”
Another added: “Death, taxes, and WB Games making a bafflingly stupid choice which further ruins what little good faith people had left for them.”
While the support for Mortal Kombat 1 may have seemed strong for those looking from the outside, it’s worth noting that fighting games tend to have incredibly long tails.
