Mortal Kombat 1 DLC characters

Amazon Italy put up a new listing for Mortal Kombat 1 today that appears to leak several unannounced characters for the game that are planned as DLC.

The fighting title, which was officially revealed this week, will be getting a bunch of additional characters as part of Kombat Pack 1. News about this has not been made known officially.

Mortal Kombat 1 rumor

Warner Bros. and NetherRealm Studios will supposedly release the next Mortal Kombat game on Switch titled Mortal Kombat 1. That’s according to dataminer billbil_kun, who has a track record of leaking

The game will apparently cost $60 on Switch while it’ll be $10 extra on other consoles. Warner Bros. intends to release a couple of special editions, but it seems they won’t be on Switch.

Hogwarts Legacy DLC

Many games end up receiving DLC, but Hogwarts Legacy apparently won’t be one of them. At least for now, the game won’t be getting any extra content.

Hogwarts Legacy game director Alan Tew told IGN: “We’ve been really heads down bringing [Hogwarts Legacy] to life, so at the moment there are no current plans for DLC.” Plans could always change in the future, though at least for now, fans shouldn’t expect anything beyond what’s included in the game currently.

Hogwarts Legacy Switch update

Hogwarts Legacy is about to make its debut, but the Switch version will have to wait a bit longer. In fact, we actually don’t really know much about the game on Nintendo’s console. It should have just about all of the same content as other platforms, but some ports on the system can be hit or miss when it comes to technical performance.

Troy Johnson, a designer on the game, does at least seem to have high hopes. Johnson was asked about the Switch version of Hogwarts Legacy in an interview with Italian site Multiplayer, and shared the following:
