Mortal Kombat 1 is about to spherical out the six DLC characters included in Kombat Pack 1 with the launch of Takeda in July alongside last Kameo character Ferra. Ideas have now turned to the inevitable Kombat Pack 2 and which DLC characters developer NetherRealm has up its sleeve for the gory preventing recreation.
In response to Interloko, the recreation information recommend three Mortal Kombat characters are coming alongside three visitor characters. They’re:

Conan the Barbarian, famously performed by Arnold Schwarzenegger in the much-loved 1982 movie, can be an ideal match for Mortal Kombat given each franchises share an ultra-violent tone. Certainly, NetherRealm has already recreated Arnie’s likeness through the T-800 from the Terminator franchise in Mortal Kombat 11, though Schwarzenegger didn’t present voice work.
And talking of Terminator, the addition of the T-1000 from Terminator 2 would presumably function the likeness and voice of actor Robert Patrick. Certainly, again in October, Reptile actor Andrew Morgado let slip that Patrick had completed T-1000 voice work for Mortal Kombat.
Elsewhere, Interloko stated there’s proof of two new arenas, though he doesn’t know what they’re, and 5 new announcers: Havik, Noob Saibot, Ghostface, Conan, and T-1000.
NetherRealm is but to announce future DLC plans, however Boon has confirmed Mortal Kombat 1 will get story DLC and “a giant shock after that.” In the meantime, the Mortal Kombat 2 film is due out October 24, 2025.
