Leaker Claims Mortal Kombat 1 Year 3 Plans Have Been Scrapped
In a surprising turn of events, a prominent leaker in the fighting game community claims that NetherRealm Studios has scrapped its plans for Year 3 of support for Mortal Kombat 11.
Background
Mortal Kombat 11 was released in April 2019 and has received two major content-packed seasons of downloadable content (DLC) since then. Year 2 of the game's post-launch support was concluded with the release of the Aftermath expansion in May 2020.
Key Facts and Latest Updates
The leaker, known as "TheThiny," claims to have received information from a reliable source within NetherRealm Studios that plans for Year 3 have been canceled due to the studio's shift to focus on developing a new project.
"NetherRealm has decided to put MK11 on hold and move on to their next project," TheThiny posted on Twitter. "This means no more characters, stages, or story content for MK11."
Analysis and Impact
The news has come as a disappointment to many Mortal Kombat fans who were eagerly anticipating the arrival of more DLC for the game. However, it is important to note that NetherRealm Studios has not officially confirmed or denied TheThiny's claims.
If true, the cancellation of Year 3 plans could have significant implications for the Mortal Kombat community. The game has a dedicated player base that has supported it throughout its post-launch lifespan.
Conclusion
While the future of Mortal Kombat 11 remains uncertain, fans may have to accept the possibility that the game has reached the end of its content pipeline. NetherRealm Studios has a history of releasing new Mortal Kombat games on a regular basis, so it is likely that we will see a new installment in the franchise in the not-so-distant future.
