Upcoming Mortal Kombat 1 DLC characters could include the T-1000 and Conan the Barbarian.

That’s according to established Mortal Kombat 1 dataminer Interloko (via IGN), who claims to have unearthed six planned DLC characters while rummaging through game files.

Spoiler: spoiler

1. Cyrax
2. Sektor
3. Noob Saibot
4. Ghostface
5. Conan the Barbarian
6. T-1000

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Needs to be this Ghostface

 

[Phobos Base]

Ah yes, Ghostface is very well known for his martial arts prowess

 

[Hot5pur]

Is this game any good for the story?
Might pick up a key, but don't have energy to get gud at online play and learn a character, it's like a second job to be competitive.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Ah yes, Ghostface is very well known for his martial arts prowess

Just like every other guest character.

 

[RoboFu]

I really don't like non MK characters in MK.

 

[Lucifers Beard]

Not a bad list to be fair. Haven't played MK1 but generally enjoy the series. May pick it up when it gets the inevitable ultimate edition with all DLC.

The story is decent but short. Wait for a deep sale imo. Or just watch it online somewhere. The game itself is just average at best imo.

SF6 and GG Strive both blow it out of the water.

Up to chapter 9, it is genuinely good story wise, then it spirals into beyond bad.

The gameplay/game sadly isn't good either, probably the most disappointing purchase I've made in recent years.

 

[Arsic]

Season 1 was infinitely better if this is true.

Totally.
Im horrible at competitive fighting games except Dead Or Alive and Soul Calibur.......both are dead franchises, so I needed to get my fix for fighting games without needing to sweat.
MK1 solves that pretty well......the story is actually good until towards the end something happens and it jumps the shark, but youll have had a good time till then and can enter Invasion and Towers mode.
So even iif you dont play competitively id say its worth the price of admission, you can get a physical edition for 40 - 50 bucks, probably less if you are willing to brick and mortar.
Tekken 8 also gets the job done to an extent.

How can you call the story short when its probably longer than Tekken 8 and SF6 combined?

Compared to recent entires in the MK series, the story felt fairly short to me. SF6 at least has World Tour mode, and well GG is just watching what is essentially and in-engine anime.

 

[SALMORE]

Candyman or Chucky would have been better than Ghostface ... T-1000 on the other hand is a great choice ! we used to fantasize about him being in Mortal Kombat back in the 90s

 

[Big Baller]

 

[The_Observer]

Why, why, why these lame characters when you have so many interesting ones to choose from the MK lore? Are they really that popular? I hate them, they suck so much

MK1 is longer than MK2011 and MKX combined, MK11 is way shorter than MK1 even if you include Aftermath.........Mortal Kombat Armageddon can be finished faster than that Brad Pitt movie Mr & Mrs Smith, I explicitly remember this because my GF at the time was watching that movie on her laptop and when the credits rolled for MKA she was still going.
Deadly Alliance is basically an episode of Law and Order.

Which recent entry in Mortal Kombat are you thinking about?

MK1 has Invasions and Towers.

Agreed

Also the series has been on the decline.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Honestly, the previous game is far superior.

 

[Puscifer]

Damn, was hoping it would be Ghostface Killah

Just felt super short to me, guess that’s perspective thing. If you care that much then just buy the game. Not sure what exactly you want from me.

 

[Fermbiz]

I knew we were going to get these shit guest characters, and I'm still disappointment.

 

[Brigandier]

How original.... shitty guest characters that have no business being in the MK universe rather than creating new characters that contribute to the MK story in some kind and adding lore to MK.

 

[Black_Stride]

Im just counterpointing your statement that the story and SP content IS short, yet you recommend SF6 which is like half the length of this game. (Noting original poster only wants to play Singleplayer)
Not going to counter your "opinion" that the story felt short........even if its longer than all the previous entries which inexplicably felt longer to you.

I don’t know, cry me a river.
MK1 felt super short.

 

[EruditeHobo]

Conan is pretty cool. But Ghostface and T-1000? Hmmmm... not exactly super-charging me with inspiration to to jump onboard.

Whoever said Candyman and Chucky, that's waaaaay more interesting.

 

[Black_Stride]

Exactly!

They have a blank canvas to start over and do cool things, and it ended up in the same shit they’ve been doing forever.

 

[GustavoLT]

Worst MK of the new era (since mk"9")... that mandatory kameo sucks!

 

[Bruno_Arrais85]

Cool, how about making a good game with decent animations for a change.

 

[MDSLKTR]

Game needs new moves, animalities, stage fatalities, more customisation and a major revamp of invasions.
Until then MK11 will continue to torment it in charts and player numbers.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

I half expected someone like John Wick.

 

[Pelao]

I hope they eventually make a pack with just the MK characters.
I bought the MK9, X and 11 passes, but the MK1 guest characters are just terrible.

 

[chromhound]

Ghostface fighting style

 

[lh032]

rumored cyrax will be a female this time

 

[Northeastmonk]

To be honest I wanted to like MK1. I ended up really disliking it. I bought the season pass then sold the game. I’m hoping MK2 is darker and plays better. I didn’t have a match in MK1 that was better than T8 and SF6. It kinda sucks to throw more money at season 2 to be honest. I feel like I payed them enough money.

MKXL had the best DLC guest characters. I’m not feeling MK1. It’s like NRS is smelling their own farts.

 

[DavidGzz]

Conan, baby! One day I'll buy this full game with all characters for the price all of this should have been at release. In 2-3 years.

Its WB fuckin everything up

Youre telling me (she) has been shooting her boobs at us this whole time?

 

[CGNoire]

I guess this time they will be handing over there testicles.

 

[A2una1]

Season 1 was infinitely better if this is true.

Dunno...2 Evil Superman Clones in one season where pretty lame...

 

[Jibran#one]

I mained noob in mk11
So that's a welcome other than noob siabot weak lineup

 

[sloppyjoe_gamer]

This series has lost the essence of what it used to be. WB ruins everything.

And you have Capcom deliver for SF's 30th anniversary a complete collection of all the Street Fighter games, and recently Capcom also has that Marvel / Street Fighter collection coming. Yet these incompetent fucks at NRS and WB refuse to do any sort of collection of the 1st 4 Arcade games.

The capcom marvel collection should have good rollback netcode and 6 good games will fuel my arcade nostalgic needs for some time. I can't fucking wait to play co-op Punisher with my brother once again. NRS has lost me with MK9, everything after that I bought on sale or was gifted by friends. I didn't even touch MK1 because I'm done with Warner's shenanigans.
