Mortal Kombat 1 finds itself in a very interesting position currently because no one really knows what (if anything) is coming next to the game.
NetherRealm Studios announced today that Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns is set to undergo server maintenance tomorrow, April 9.
According to the official post, the maintenance period is scheduled to begin at 6 a.m. PT / 9 a.m. ET.
It’s unknown how long this server downtime will last, but you should probably assume it’ll be for a few hours at least.
During this time, all online functionality shall remain unavailable including matchmaking, the in-game store, rewards and more.
NetherRealm also doesn’t state what the purpose of the maintenance is, however, it could just be for general maintenance, a hotfix update or adding new content to the store.
We already know Mortal Kombat 2 movie skins are on the way to MK1, though, no release date has been given for those yet.
Ed Boon also recently teased Mortal Kombat 3 skins for Sonya and Nightwolf (who isn’t even currently in the game), but it could have been simply for an April Fool’s Day joke.
That could point to the existence of a Kombat Pack 3 if true, however.
There’s currently no more announced playable characters coming to the game after the T-1000 and Madam Bo, who are now available.
Stay tuned to EventHubs for more updates as they become available.
Mortal Kombat 1 will be offline for maintenance on April 9 starting at 8am CT/6am PT. Stay tuned here for updates. #MK1
