Mortal Kombat 1 Might Have A New Reveal At New York Comic Con

Mortal Kombat fans are already getting through the latest installment available. After Mortal Kombat 11, the development team over at NetherRealm Studios opted to do something a bit different. We’re getting a reboot with Mortal Kombat 1, where the focus is on a brand new timeline. As a result, there are several changes, such as new alliances for different characters. Fortunately, NetherRealm Studios is known for delivering new characters into the Mortal Kombat games after they release, and the same trend will continue with Mortal Kombat 1.

The question some fans might be asking is just when we’ll get our next big reveal. Today, we’re finding out that Ed Boon, the co-creator of the Mortal Kombat franchise, has once again left a cryptic message online. Ed Boon is known for teasing fans of what might be coming soon. Some teases are quick to be uncovered, while others can have fans discussing potential possibilities online. Today, thanks to a report from Gamerant, we’re discovering that Ed Boon’s latest set of X posts might indicate a reveal during New York Comic Con.

There are a few Comic Con events that garner quite a bit of attention. You, of course, have the big one, San Diego Comic Con. However, New York Comic Con is also quite notable. In an X post, Ed Boon left a message stating Next Patch Will Yield Cwik Corrections. The capitals spell out NYCC, which has fans looking towards this event later in the month for a big announcement. With that said, we already know that it won’t be OmniMan gameplay footage, as Ed noted this won’t be featured at the event. 

While OmniMan will be one of the first DLC characters added to the game, this event could lean towards the spooky season. A previous tease from Ed Boon showcased a few horror movie icons that have yet to make their way into Mortal Kombat. Perhaps this event will confirm one of these characters coming to the game franchise next. Unfortunately, we’ll just have to wait for the actual event to take place, which kicks off on October 12, 2023. 

In the meantime, if you have yet to play through Mortal Kombat 1, the video game is readily available for purchase on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch platforms. We also have a Before You Buy video coverage, which you can view below.
