Mortal Kombat 11 recently completed its Kombat Pass by adding Shang Tsung, the Terminator, Nightwolf, Sindel, the Joker, and Spawn to the playable roster. Back in March, an email to IGN reportedly leaked the identity of a certain character that has yet to join the Mortal Kombat series.

Taken at face value, this seems to imply the existence of a Kombat Pack 2 in the future. In an interview with GameSpot, Ed Boon said something that seems to give even more credibility to the idea that Mortal Kombat 11 will continue to see developer support.

"Since we had that big reveal event over a year ago, I was pretty clear in trying to communicate that we plan on supporting Mortal Kombat 11 as we did with our previous games," stated Boon. Indeed, Mortal Kombat 11 was first revealed during the 2018 Game Awards ceremony and NetherRealm Studios has been supporting the game with post-launch content after its release.

"With Mortal Kombat X and Injustice 2, our previous sequels, we supported them further than just the first set of characters and updates," continued Boon. "So there's nothing that we are ready to announce or anything like that, but we are not absolutely done with Mortal Kombat 11."

In regards to Mortal Kombat X, the game's DLC was first thought to wrap up after Jason Voorhees, Tanya, Tremor, and the Predator of the Kombat Pack 1. Later, Leatherface, the Alien, Triborg, and Bo' Rai Cho were revealed with the Kombat Pack 2.

We knew early on that Injustice 2 would have three DLC packs consisting of Red Hood, Starfire, Sub-Zero, Black Manta, Raiden, Hellboy, Atom, Enchantress and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

It seems NetherRealm Studios has a tendency to ramp up the number of DLC fighters for a game as they go along. They will then later package it all together in a "Komplete Edition" of some sort.

Assuming NetherRealm Studios sticks to this working formula, it's entirely possible we might see another six more challengers joining the fight via a Kombat Pass 2. Notably, there's been a lot of fan demand for characters like Mileena and Reptile, who are noticeably absent in Mortal Kombat 11.

"But I can say that at this moment, we plan on continuing to support Mortal Kombat 11 for some time, and we're looking forward to seeing it grow." - Ed Boon

"It's hard to tell the timing because we don't have a launch date that we've picked for our next game, and there are so many factors involved with the transition to the next consoles, etc.," declared Boon.

This appears to give the impression that plans are being made for NetherRealm's next title, even if the launch date isn't being planned at the moment. Could this be Injustice 3? Do keep in mind that nothing is confirmed at the moment.

"There's a lot of moving parts right now, so it's hard to say something like, 'Oh yeah, when the next game is out, we will be doing season four of Mortal Kombat 11,'" continued Boon. "But I can say that at this moment, we plan on continuing to support Mortal Kombat 11 for some time, and we're looking forward to seeing it grow."
