Mortal Kombat 1 creator teases more DLC despite low sales
metro.co.uk
A Barbarian joins the roster (Warner Bros.)The co-creator behind Mortal Kombat has implied support for Mortal Kombat 1 will continue, as players try to figure out how to encounter a mysterious pink ninja.Following the huge sales of Mortal Kombat 11, its clear Mortal Kombat 1 has fallen short of expectations.Mortal Kombat 1 hit four million sales last year following its launch in September 2023. While it has some time to catch up, its very unlikely that it will top its predecessors Mortal Kombat 11 and Mortal Kombat X, which surpassed 15 million and 12 million copies sold respectively.The games underwhelming reception sparked rumours of cancelled DLC plans, but series co-creator Ed Boon has suggested there might be more still to come.In a thread on X, Boon recapped various updates for Mortal Kombat 1 following the release of new DLC fighter Conan The Barbarian. Amid these posts, he shared a clip of a fatality from the next confirmed DLC fighter, T-1000 from Terminator 2, with a somewhat vague caption.With Conan getting into players hands, we are excited to keep trucking forward with future DLC, Boon wrote.While the keep trucking forward is clearly a pun on the fatality shown in the clip, its unclear if the future DLC mention is simply referring to T-1000 or plans for additional characters in a potential Kombat Pack 3. As you might expect, fans are hoping for the latter.While Im well aware that this could PURELY be talking about the T-1000, the cadence screams that they arent done, one X user wrote.Elsewhere in the thread, Boon confirmed Mortal Kombat 1 has surpassed five million copies sold, an increase of one million since last August.He concluded with a mysterious ninja oath message, which seemingly relates to a long-rumoured pink ninja character called Floyd (Pink Floyd, get it?) that some players have encountered following the Conan update.As detailed by dataminer thethiny, Floyd shows up in a secret fight which is preceded by a rainbow animation with the text You Found Floyd. Based on the video, it seems Floyd is an amalgamation of all the ninja characters, similar to Chameleon in Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3.https://twitter.com/thethiny/status/1881959728756191322At the time of writing, players havent figured out what triggers the fight. Thethiny said Floyd showed up after doing a bunch of Floyd challenges in the Towers mode, but the uncertainty around the requirements has even spawned a fan-made spreadsheet.Floyd isnt playable in Mortal Kombat 11, but defeating the pink ninja does unlock a new Field stage according to players. Some dataminers have also found Floyds assets in the games files, so their existence isnt some crazed online theory.More TrendingAfter Mortal Kombat 1, its unclear what developer NetherRealm is working on next, but Injustice 3 has been teased several times in the past.
