Amazon has leaked the characters included in Kombat Pack 1, the first DLC selection for the newly-announced Mortal Kombat 1, which will seemingly include 6 playable characters (3 guest characters) and 5 Kameo Characters. If Mortal Kombat 1 follows a similar pattern to MK11, fans can expect this Kombat Pack to be the first of a few.
For the uninitiated, Kameo Characters are a new feature in MK1 where players can call in NPCs to assist during matches. The characters here may or may not be on the playable roster, but nonetheless, it sounds promising for the competitive fighting game.
The playable characters of MK1 Kombat Pack 1 are Quan Chi, Omni Man, Ermac, Peacemaker, Takeda, and Homelander. Long-time fans will no doubt be happy to see characters like Quan Chi, Ermac, and Takeda return, but the guest characters seem top-notch too. Peacemaker and Homelander appeared in a separate Mortal Kombat 1 leak, but Omni Man is a surprise. His brutality is certainly welcome in the Mortal Kombat universe. Meanwhile, the Kameo characters include Tremor, Johnny Cage, Khameleon, Mavado, and Ferra.
Kombat Pack 1 DLC Character List
- Quan Chi (Playable)
- Omni Man (Playable)
- Ermac (Playable)
- Peacemaker (Playable)
- Takeda (Playable)
- Homelander (Playable)
- Tremor (Kameo)
- Johnny Cage (Kameo)
- Khameleon (Kameo)
- Mavado (Kameo)
- Ferra (Kameo)
It should be noted that, while Johnny Cage is listed here as a MK1 Kameo Character, this is likely an alternative version of the character. Johnny Cage has already been confirmed for Mortal Kombat 1's main roster already, though it is possible this is a mistake. The information, as seen above, comes from Amazon Italy. The retailer likely received advanced information to prepare its sales page but accidentally published the DLC content ahead of time. It will likely be pulled soon since the discovery is recent. Either way, it should be taken with a grain of salt since it doesn't come directly from NetherRealm or Warner Bros, but it is more trustworthy than some internet leaks.
There is one more Mortal Kombat 1 character leak that has yet to be confirmed or corroborated. According to Windows Central's Jez Corden, Conan the Barbarian is potentially joining MK1's roster. This Amazon leak particularly corroborates reports of Homelander and Peacemaker, but Conan is up in the air. It could be that he's reserved for a potential Kombat Pack 2, or it's more likely he's part of the main roster that has yet to be revealed. Either way, it'll be interesting to see who all makes the MK1 cut.
Mortal Kombat 1 launches September 19 for PC, PS5, Switch, and Xbox Series X.
