Original article [Tue 6th Feb, 2024 00:55 GMT]:
It's a new year for Mortal Kombat 1 and NetherRealm Studios is gearing up for another DLC character release. The DC hero Peacemaker (with the likeness of John Cena) will be arriving as an "early access" release on 28th February 2024.
In a brief post on social media, Warner Bros. mentioned how it would be sharing more details about his arrival soon as well as the new season. The full release of this same character should follow a week later in March.
This character's arrival is close to the conclusion of Season 3 and follows on from the addition Quan-Chi. A DLC Kameo Fighter reveal should also follow Peacemaker's release. When we hear more, we'll let you know.
The remaining Kombat Pack characters after Peacemaker include Ermac, Homelander from The Boys and Takeda Takahashi.

I think I deleted the game off my Xbox the day Tremor came out, without bothering to try him out, and I kind of doubt I'm going to bother to play it again any time soon despite having the season pass. There's nothing really in the game to DO except Invasions and they're an awful miserable slog, and the rewards from them aren't even very good in the first place, not helped by how wildly impractical switching skins in the game is.
They've really done themselves no favors with the sustainability of the game. Releasing with virtually no content is bad enough, but between the obscene pricing on random skins that are constantly shoved in your face and how five months after release they've still barely added anything, the game just feels completely dead already.
Why is the picture empty? That sure is weird
John cena in mk1?
@Liam_Doolan
I think working at Nintendo Life for so long caused you to misspell “Peacemaker” as “Peachmaker.” 😅
I haven’t played a Kombat game since the 16-bit era, but thank you for the chuckle!
Oh nice he appears on my birthday 😁
@Teksetter Ha, thanks for that! Yes, Peach is definitely on my mind... you know, with Showtime! not far off. Hoping it's a good one.
I might boot the game up to try Peacemaker out, but Invasions mode doesn’t have the same appeal as MK11’s Towers of Time or Injustice 2’a Multiversus. Between the ridiculous grind and low-tier rewards, I’ve lost a lot of interest in this title.
It's cool they got John Cena Peacemaker in the new MK game but I can't see him. I'm not sure if he's there
Weird to post images of Peacemaker's empty helmet.
Uh, where is the character? It seems you showed us a photo of nothing instead of the new DLC character.
The game is very boring nowadays, guess I'll go and play other fighting games until they actually give us contents that are worth revisiting.
@DogDetective
Another game swallowed by the GAAS abyss where you grind your ass off in the coal mines for FOMO seasonal items that aren’t any better than what you could get in the previous game for minimal effort.
It's going to be really interesting to see fan reactions when MK is made into a service or "platform."
@SalvorHardin oh is it already there? I am more sensitive to that kinda thing, so I noped out of the series (previously my favorite behind Doom) when X did so much gross MTX nonsense.
I just want 9 on my Switch. And 2 Remix, somehow...
@LikelySatan Mortal Kombat 9 probably is the best of the series. I don’t know why they never brought back co-op towers.
this game is dead
Love the null jokes in this comment section!
@DogDetective for real. Loved em. I got it on my Vita though. Weird port, but nowhere near as awful as 1 on Switch.
Well, the tv show was decent and funny for a dc universe product on tv media. Ha.
Haven't downloaded MK1 because of bad reviews from reliable reviewers and players alike. Waiting for an extensive update, which feels unlikely
@link12684 LOL
So they released a criminally overpriced game and now milk it even further with even more criminally overpriced DLCs? Yeah, no thanks.
@Lizuka so pretty much what happened to dying light 2 update recently, I was so disgusted with the gun update I deleted the game and honestly if techland continue this with grindy GAAS desperate approach I'm done with them and I don't think anyone deserves to pay full price for a game and get treated in this similar way!
@marcelominucelli this "reboot" was a desperate turn to try and refresh the series but overall it's the same milking, the same greed and the same demanding GAAS grinding that will never end unless you pay up that is...
Guess people online are made WB is releasing Janet Cage instead of Johnny Cage and that WB "lied" to them
