Twitter user thethiny revealed thatMortal Kombat 1will have a new single-player game mode called Invasions. In this mode,Mortal Kombat 1players will travel through theMortal Kombatrealms and fight the invasions of each season. The leak doesn’t give further details, but it does reveal that Invasions mode will feature “immersive battles” and a unique cast of characters forMortal Kombatplayers to select their fighter from.
A recurring debate in the fighting game community is how the genre can do more to captivate audiences beyond 1v1 battles. This year Capcom brought World Tour mode toStreet Fighter 6, creating a sort of in-game RPG. Meanwhile,Mortal Kombat 1will ditch the Kryptto invest in a new unlock system, which the leak now reveals to be the Invasions mode.
WithMortal Kombat 1’s release approaching, news and leaks about the game are appearing more frequently. Recently aMortal Kombat 1leak suggested that Shujinko fromMortal Kombat: Deceptionwill return to the series as a Kameo fighter. Meanwhile, rumors are already pointing to which fighters players will see inMortal Kombat 1’s second DLC wave, including the potential appearance of the iconic Noob Saibot. Additionally,Geras is back inMortal Kombat 1as a playable character.
Ed Boon has said thatMortal Kombat 1will not have a battle pass, but the leak is causing some players to speculate whether Invasions mode will have any type of season pass. NetherRealm Studios confirmed thatMortal Kombat 1has microtransactions, but didn’t give details on how they will work. With thenext Kombat Kast happening this month, players hope some of these details will be revealed.
