NetherRealm Studios and Warner Bros. Games are introducing the first DLC character into the world of Mortal Kombat 1 today. As expected, Invincible’s Omni-Man is the first additional fighter to join the roster and he will be available to play via early access later today.
With that said, Mortal Kombat 1’s servers are currently down for maintenance to prepare for the implementation of the Omni-Man update. The official Mortal Kombat X (formerly Twitter) account has provided a couple of updates that you’ll want to be aware of if you’re hoping to play as Omni-Man as soon as possible.
“As the realms prepare for the arrival of the Viltrumites, #MK1 will enter maintenance mode at 6am PT/8am CT on November 9,”
wrote the social media account. “We will announce when our maintenance begins and ends right here.”
At this time, the servers are down and maintenance is underway. As of right now, we do not know how long the maintenance period will run for, but the Mortal Kombat X account notes that there will be updates on their page as they happen.
“Maintenance has begun on #MK1 in preparation for Omni-Man’s takeover,” continued the Twitter page. “Stay tuned right here so you know when we’re back online.”

Omni-Man will be available today by way of early access for those who purchased the Premium Edition of Mortal Kombat 1 or the Kombat Pack. He will see his widespread release on November 16.
It is also worth noting that though we’ve been seeing Omni-Man alongside Kameo Fighter Tremor in all of his gameplay footage, Tremor won’t actually be joining the fight until November 20.
