It’s that spooky season once again, and though Scream’s Ghostface is not yet available for Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns yet, they’re still getting into the Halloween spirit.
NetherRealm Studios have now launched the first wave of Happy Halloween Towers for MK1 that includes the ability to unlock a multitude of skins and other seasonal content for a limited time.
The action is already underway with Smoke receiving two new skins / palettes for completing the seven-stage Tower and you’ll only have to beat it one time to get both.
Smoke’s skins have a neat spiderweb accent added to the purple Insatiable Zombie and orange Undead Carnivore palettes for the fighter.
It seems Smoke is the only character available for now, but the promotion shows more are coming.
Mileena, Johnny Cage, Li Mei and Reiko also appear as though they’re getting in on the Halloween fun too.
We’re not entirely sure how that’s going to work at the moment, but it seems likely they’ll be adding a new character’s rewards to the Tower each day considering the countdown timer.

Said timer has the clock expiring around 8 a.m. PT, so the new content should be available then.
It’s also a bit unclear if the particular skins for a given character will only be unlockable on that specific day, but considering NRS says Smoke’s is available from October 21–26, we presume you’ll have more than the 24 hours to get each.
On top of that, MK1 is also adding a handful of Halloween Kombat Kards as well to help liven up your player profile.

And so far, there’s been no word on another Halloween Fatality after the controversy the seasonal finishers caused last year.
We should be seeing more of the skins for the other characters in the coming days.
