Mortal Kombat 1 Kombat Pack Characters
A few weeks shy of their big launch, NetherRealm quit beating around the bush and spilling the beans on all the DLC rumours that have been doing the rounds. In a fresh-out-the-oven trailer dropped on Friday, they gave us a sneaky peek at the brawlers likely to feature in the first Kombat Pack.
Here are all the new characters in Mortal Kombat 1 Kombat Pack:
- Homelander (The Boys)
- Omni-Man (Invincible)
- Peacemaker (DC)
- Quan Chi
- Ermac
- Takeda
We’ve got Homelander from The Boys and Omni-Man from Invincible. These anti-heroes take the goody-two-shoes superhero image and give it a good hard shake, making them a perfect fit for the blood and grit of Mortal Kombat.
Next, straight from the DC Universe, we’ve got Peacemaker. They’ve used John Cena’s TV role as a blueprint for this character, so it’s like having John Cena himself in Mortal Kombat!
And let’s remember the comeback kings. Fans are buzzing to see the return of Quan Chi, Ermac, and Takeda, all regulars in the series, rounding out Mortal Kombat Kombat Pack 1. Sure, it’s gutting they won’t be there on release day, but with a Spring 2024 launch, these fellas are just a little behind MK1’s big debut on September 19, 2023.

But wait, there’s more. The recent trailer offers a few tasty morsels for die-hard fans. It teases two more Kameo Fighters – Khameleon, who technically made her first appearance in Mortal Kombat Trilogy, but officially in Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, and Darrius from Mortal Kombat: Deception.
That’s the scoop on the Mortal Kombat 1 Kombat Pack for now, but stay tuned as we’ll keep you updated with all the latest buzz about the game. Now, let’s crack on with your burning questions.
