A leak talks about possible online updates in Mortal Kombat 1

Guess what's cooking in the Mortal Kombat world? Well, a recent datamine suggests that Mortal Kombat 1 might soon be spiced up with some new online features.

You heard it right—online lobbies and online practice could be making their way to the game. Fans have been craving more from the online play experience, and it looks like the folks behind Mortal Kombat are gearing up to deliver just that.

 

Alright, so here's the lowdown on Mortal Kombat 1's online scene. It's got some online play, but, you know, it's been a bit limited. Sending out match invites to random players? Not the easiest task. And don't even get started on the absence of online practice options. The community was left scratching their heads, wondering what was up with that. But guess what? The rumor mill is buzzing with whispers that some fresh online features might just be around the corner.

The notorious leaker, thethiny, has spilled the beans once again. Get this: Online Lobbies are rumored to swoop in with the Peacemaker DLC, slated for a grand entrance in February 2024. And that's not all—the leaks also hint at the much-anticipated arrival of an online practice mode. Now, we don't know if they're rolling out together like a dynamic duo or if they'll take turns in the spotlight. But hey, it's a promising sign that the developers are tuning in to the players' wish list for online improvements.

Word on the digital street is that online lobbies and online practice modes are getting ready to join the gaming party. If the grapevine is to be trusted, these exciting additions might make their debut in February 2024, coinciding with the arrival of the Peacemaker DLC. And hey, that's not all—crossplay is rumored to join the fun in the same month! While we're crossing our fingers for an official confirmation, the signs are looking pretty promising. Just a heads up, though: the leaks didn't spill the beans on whether these updates will hit the Switch, so keep an eye out for that juicy detail!

Rumors are swirling about the potential arrival of Kombat Pack 2, and brace yourself—there's even talk of an extended story mode, a nod to the epicness of Mortal Kombat 11's Aftermath DLC. NetherRealm Studios seems to be cooking up a storm of content to keep us all hooked and satisfied. If their track record with titles like Injustice 2 and Mortal Kombat 11 is any indication, we're in for a treat.
