Mortal Kombat 1 balance patch incoming, but the FGC has no faith

Mortal Kombat 1 is getting a balance patch soon but it may already be too late to keep the esports scene alive.

Over the weekend, Mortal Kombat Co-Creator Ed Boon revealed that a balance patch is ‘incoming soon’ on X (formerly Twitter). However, the FGC has a lot of requests if Mortal Kombat 1 is to be ‘saved.’

Mortal Kombat 1 has no DLC or content updates in the works (that ended in May after the Definitive Edition was released). However, NetherRealm Studios has promised to continue supporting the game with adjustments and fixes.

The last Mortal Kombat 1 patch was released back in August 2025.
