Mortal Kombat 1 is getting its first story DLC. In the trailer, it doesn’t seem like the fighting is going to continue at one point.
Which game is this about? This is about Mortal Kombat 1, the latest installment in the Mortal Kombat series. The fighting game will receive the expansion Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns on September 24, 2024. It will feature a new story and three new fighters.
In the launch trailer, the developers already show some of the new characters in action. There are also initial details about the story, but especially one quote makes fans chuckle.
Kang becomes a bit too conciliatory, the trailer corrects him
What happened in the trailer? From a game called Mortal Kombat, we don’t necessarily expect a deep analysis of the cycle of violence. Yet one of the characters in the trailer, namely Liu Kang, is shown ready to put an end to the eternal violence.
Full of pathos, Liu Kang says to his comrades: “I ask that we try together to break the cycle of violence”. Following this quote, the developers present a series of brutal finishers – the best time to remind us what kind of game this is.

In the comments section for the trailer on YouTube, many people have picked up this quote to amuse themselves at the expense of a somewhat naive-looking Liu Kang.

- danny_drake thinks: “Liu Kang: We are trying to break the cycle of violence > Video: Shows a sequence of fatalities”
What is included in the expansion? As already mentioned, Khaos Reigns will tell a new story. Additionally, the DLC includes Kombat Pack 2, which will feature three new fighters at launch. Three more will follow. At the beginning, you will have access to Noob Saibot, Cyrax, and Sektor.
Later, Ghostface (famous from the Scream films), the T-1000 from Terminator 2, and Conan the Barbarian from the eponymous 1982 film, played by Arnold Schwarzenegger, will be added. Kombat Pack 2 will not be available separately, so you will need to purchase the entire expansion for 50 euros.
If you don’t have the game yet, grabbing the Khaos Reigns Collection might be more worthwhile. Although it costs 90 euros on Steam, you also get the main game, the expansion, and the first Kombat Pack.
A pro player could have bought this expansion 10 times if he hadn’t behaved so poorly during his victory in a tournament. What this is about, you can find out here: Player in Mortal Kombat 1 wins 525 euros, destroys a lamp worth 2790 euros while celebrating
