Mortal Kombat 1 is gearing up for a significant update, set to debut after Evo 2025. NetherRealm Studios has promised “some exciting changes,” although specific details remain under wraps. Following the release of Mortal Kombat 1: Definitive Edition, no new downloadable characters are expected, leading fans to anticipate a focus on balance adjustments and potential changes in gameplay mechanics.

Despite recent patches improving the game, interest in the competitive scene has waned, as reflected by a modest 377 player sign-up for Evo 2025, placing it low on the entrants list. However, the developers remain committed to supporting the title with future updates. Players can look forward to showcasing their skills at Evo from August 1–3 in Las Vegas, where NetherRealm aims to reinvigorate excitement for Mortal Kombat 1.
