Mortal Kombat 1 Update Fixes Issues and Adds New Fighter

The newest update for Mortal Kombat 1 is out now, adding Mavado to the ever-growing roster of Kameo fighters and addressing several bugs and issues. Players who own the Kombat Pack 1 or the game’s premium edition can snag Mavado now, while everyone else will need to purchase him separately.

The Homelander, one of the main antagonists of the comic book series The Boys, will be added to the game soon as a new DLC fighter alongside Ferra, the fifth and final Kameo fighter from the first pack.
