The story expansion will bring back several beloved characters in the form of Sektor, Cyrax, Noob Saibot, and more when it launches on September 24.

It was confirmed last year that Mortal Kombat 1 would receive story DLC similar to Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath, while much more recently, director and series co-creator Ed Boon teased an imminent announcement of the same at San Diego Comic-Con. Sure enough, the expansion has now been announced.

Dubbed Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns, the story expansion will be set after the events of the base game, bringing a major new threat from another alternative timeline in the form of a ruthless Titan Havik, after which it once again falls to Liu Kang to rally the heroes of his New Era. Several fan-favourite characters are set to return, including the likes of Noob Saibot (who’s Bi-Han behind the mask), Cyrax, and Sektor. Check out the trailer below.

In addition to a new story expansion, Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns will also include a Kombat Pack 2, which is set to bring six new DLC fighters. Meanwhile, the expansion’s release will also coincide with a free update that will add new animal-based Fatalities known as Animalities. Read more on that through here.

Pre-orders for the expansion are live now, with bonuses including four skins in the form of Wedding Scorpion, Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 Sup-Zero, Empress Mileena, and Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 Noob Saibot.

Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns launches on September 24 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
