5 Shocking Mortal Kombat 1 Twitter Updates That Ended All DLC Hopes (And Sparked New Rumors)
The official *Mortal Kombat 1* Twitter/X account has become the single most critical—and controversial—source of information for the fighting game community. As of December 15, 2025, the conversation is dominated by a shocking official announcement that directly contradicts months of persistent leaks, creating a massive rift of confusion and speculation among fans. This article breaks down the five most crucial and recent updates from the official channels, developer Ed Boon’s personal feed, and the subsequent community explosion, detailing why the future of the game is simultaneously clearer and more confusing than ever before.
The latest updates from NetherRealm Studios (NRS) and Creative Director Ed Boon have confirmed the game’s content lifecycle is winding down, but not entirely ending. While the official account delivered the definitive blow regarding new characters and story expansions, Boon’s cryptic tweets continue to hint at an ongoing commitment to game balance, competitive integrity, and a potential "Year 2" that looks very different from what fans had hoped for. The saga of *Mortal Kombat 1* on Twitter is a masterclass in modern gaming communication, blending shock announcements with classic, confusing teases.
Ed Boon: The Master of Twitter Teases and the MK Universe
Any discussion about *Mortal Kombat 1*'s social media presence must begin with its co-creator, Ed Boon. His personal Twitter/X account (@noobde) is a legendary source of cryptic hints, fan interaction, and meme-worthy posts that often precede official announcements, making him a central figure in the game's marketing and community engagement.

Boon's 2025 Twitter activity continued this tradition, with posts in January teasing the T-1000 guest character's brutal Fatality, generating immediate hype and thousands of retweets. However, his most important recent tweets have been in response to community concerns, often acting as a necessary clarification when the official *Mortal Kombat* account's news is too abrupt or vague.
The Official Verdict: Why NetherRealm Studios Said "No More DLC" in May 2025
The single biggest piece of news to rock the *Mortal Kombat 1* community in 2025 came directly from the official @MortalKombat Twitter account. This announcement fundamentally changed the expectation for the game's future content roadmap.
1. The End of New Story and Character DLC
In May 2025, NetherRealm Studios officially confirmed via Twitter that *Mortal Kombat 1* would receive no further DLC characters or story expansions after the current scheduled content was released. This news came after the highly anticipated release of the T-1000 guest character in March 2025 and Conan the Barbarian in January 2025.
The tweet was a definitive statement, closing the door on the possibility of a "Kombat Pack 2" (KP2) that fans had been eagerly anticipating. The community reaction was immediate and overwhelmingly negative, with many fans expressing shock and disappointment that the game's content cycle was ending sooner than expected, especially for a game built on the "new era" concept.
2. The T-1000 and Conan's Final Arrivals
The last major character additions to the game, T-1000 from *Terminator 2* and Conan the Barbarian, were rolled out via the Kombat Pack 1 (KP1) schedule. Their releases were heavily promoted on Twitter with character trailers and gameplay showcases. The T-1000's reveal, in particular, was preceded by an Ed Boon tease about his unique Fatality, keeping the hype machine churning right up until the official "no more DLC" tweet.
The Ghost of Kombat Pack 2: Leaks, Rumors, and the Community's Hope
Despite the unequivocal official statement from NetherRealm Studios, the Twitter community remains fixated on a persistent, years-long rumor: the existence of *Kombat Pack 2* (KP2). This is the biggest contradiction fueling the current *Mortal Kombat 1* Twitter narrative.
3. The Persistent KP2 Leak Conflict
For months leading up to the May 2025 announcement, dataminers and leakers had been confidently detailing the contents of a potential KP2. Rumors suggested a lineup that included highly requested characters like Doomguy and Harley Quinn, alongside classic *Mortal Kombat* fighters such as Sareena and Cyrax.
The official "no more DLC" tweet effectively debunked these leaks, yet the conversation continues. Many fans on Twitter/X are now debating whether the leaks were entirely fabricated, or if a planned KP2 was canceled by NRS at the last minute due to internal decisions or resource allocation for a new project. The sheer volume of the KP2 rumors, which even included potential release dates, has led to a major trust issue between the hardcore community and the official communication channels.
Post-EVO 2025: The Future of Mortal Kombat 1's Live Service
While the door is closed on new characters and story, the game's competitive life is far from over. Ed Boon and the official account have focused their recent tweets on the game's balance and longevity, particularly in the lead-up to and aftermath of the EVO 2025 tournament.
4. The Non-Final Patch Promise
Perhaps the most reassuring tweet for the competitive community came from Ed Boon, who directly addressed speculation about the game's final update. Following a tease about a new patch coming after EVO 2025, many fans worried this would be the game's last hurrah. Boon took to Twitter/X to clarify that the post-EVO patch was "highly unlikely to be *Mortal Kombat 1*'s final patch," suggesting that the developers plan to continue supporting the game with balance tweaks and bug fixes well into the future.
This commitment to ongoing support is crucial for the game's competitive scene, ensuring that fan-favorite characters, even those like Havik who were heavily impacted by controversial earlier patches, will continue to be adjusted for fair play.
5. The Community's Rollercoaster Reactions and Final Kombat 2025
The *Mortal Kombat 1* Twitter community is notoriously passionate, and 2025 saw some of the most viral and controversial reactions yet. The April Update and March Patch Notes generated significant debate, with players often using Twitter to post clips of broken combos or unexpected character nerfs.
However, a major point of community discussion was the Final Kombat 2025 tournament. Footage and reactions shared on Twitter/X described the event as a "disaster," citing issues like building leaks, structural problems, and mid-match re-dos, which overshadowed the actual competitive play. This event led to widespread criticism of the game's competitive infrastructure, making the official Twitter's job of promoting the game's esports scene significantly harder.
In summary, the *Mortal Kombat 1* Twitter feed in 2025 has been a chaotic mix of definitive answers and frustrating ambiguities. The official word is clear: no more DLC characters. Yet, the continued promise of non-final patches from Ed Boon, coupled with the lingering ghost of *Kombat Pack 2* rumors, ensures that the community's attention—and its outrage—will remain firmly fixed on every tweet from NetherRealm Studios for the foreseeable future.
