Summary
- Mortal Kombat 1 will reveal its Year 2 plans at SDCC on July 26 at 2:00pm PT.
- Expectations are high for the long-rumored Kombat Pack 2 to be announced at the panel.
- Potential leaks suggest DLC characters like Conan the Barbarian and Ghostface from Scream.
NetherRealm has officially confirmed that Mortal Kombat 1 will have a panel at San Diego Comic-Con on Friday, July 26 at 2:00pm PT. Mortal Kombat 1 has nearly fulfilled its obligations with its first Kombat Pack, and so expectations are that the game will use its SDCC panel to reveal the long-rumored Kombat Pack 2.
Mortal Kombat 1's first Kombat Pack has added Ermac, Homelander, Omni-Man, Peacemaker, and Quan Chi to the game so far, with Takeda still on the way. Takeda will make his Mortal Kombat 1 debut on July 23, at which point, the popular fighting game will have added all previously announced DLC characters to its roster. Mortal Kombat 1's predecessor, Mortal Kombat 11, had a second Kombat Pack, plus a batch of characters that were added as part of the Aftermath expansion. So, it's long been assumed that MK1 would be adding DLC characters beyond what has already been revealed.
Every Mortal Kombat 1 Character, Ranked by Popularity
Although there's quite a bit of overlap between the best and most popular Mortal Kombat 1 characters, there are also one or two big surprises.
While it's entirely possible that the Mortal Kombat 1 Year 2 panel at San Diego Comic Con on July 26 will have other announcements for the game, it's highly likely that the event will be used to unveil Kombat Pack 2. All Mortal Kombat fans know for sure, though, is that the game is going to be featured at SDCC. Needless to say, Mortal Kombat 1 fans should circle July 26 on their calendars regardless, as it's sure to be a huge day for MK1 regardless of whether Kombat Pack 2 is revealed or not.

As far as who will be featured in Kombat Pack 2, that remains to be seen. There have been multiple Mortal Kombat 1 Kombat Pack 2 character leaks over the past year, some of which have been supported by datamines. Other character leaks have come from reliable sources, yet haven't had concrete evidence to back them up.
According to the latest and most reliable leaks, the next six Mortal Kombat 1 DLC characters will be Conan the Barbarian, Cyrax, Ghostface from Scream, Noob Saibot, Sektor, and the T-1000 from Terminator. Previous leaks claimed that Mortal Kombat 1 Kombat Pack 2 would feature Harley Quinn, Deathstroke, and Doomslayer as the guest characters, but those leaks seem shakier now. Ultimately, Mortal Kombat 1 fans will want to keep an eye on July 26 for news on the fighting game's future, and potential clarification about its future DLC characters.
