Mortal Kombat is one of the most renowned franchises in the world of fighting games. Started in 1992, this American video game franchise has been successfully running for decades. However, in this challenging gaming market, a lot of classic franchises are finding it hard to maintain their fanbase.

Mortal Kombat 1 was released in 2023, and this game is the second reboot in the franchise’s timeline to continue the storyline of the previous games. This game has taken the franchise to a new height with its newly introduced gameplay mechanics, but a recent instance revealed that players are not happy with Mortal Kombat 1 anymore.

Mortal Kombat 1 is gradually losing its popularity among players because of some unavoidable issues.

Mortal Kombat 1 is one of the most popular games in the franchise. This game has been running successfully, but suddenly, the situation has taken a twisting turn where one content creator expressed that after the EVO, she isn’t going to continue playing the game, despite Mortal Kombat meaning “the world” to her. She clearly states that it is time to move on to something new.

Mortal Kombat fans are well aware of the EVO, but for unaware gamers, it is the biggest fighting game tournament in the world, and each year, players get the chance to participate. However, EVO 2024 is the biggest one organized in Las Vegas and scheduled for July 19 to 21.

Some of them blamed the Kameo system for the miserable condition of Mortal Kombat 1.

While others considered Liu Kang’s new era a mistake. 

Some players have made a comparison with Mortal Kombat 11 and expressed that Mortal Kombat 1 used to be better.

Despite these criticisms and frustrations, the developer of the game is preparing for some new surprises for players.

Though not everything the Kombat Pack has brought has received great success, another wave of speculation about Kombat Pack 2 has been circulating among the fans. Mortal Kombat 1 fans are excited about getting the new list of content and characters in the game. Super excited players are hyping a lot about the Kombat Pack, though nothing has been said officially about the content or release date.

With each Kombat Pack, new characters, lore, fighting styles, and in-game mechanics join the title. According to leaks, the upcoming DLC will bring Ghostface from the Scream series, T-1000 from Terminator, and Conan the Barbarian to the game. So, the excitement among the fans is understandable, especially when they are not happy with the content of Kombat Pack 1.
