Anyone looking forward to the upcomingMortal Kombat 1fighting game should keep an eye on July 21, as that’s when the game will be featured at San Diego Comic Con.Mortal Kombat 1is easily one of the most highly-anticipated new games of the year, serving as a reboot to the award-winning fighting game franchise. Time will tell how the final product will turn out, but what’s been shown of the game so far has been impressive.
NetherRealm has released multiple trailers forMortal Kombat 1, revealing various characters that will make up the fighting game’s roster. ThelatestMortal Kombat 1trailerconfirmed Rain and Smoke for the roster of playable fighters, while also confirming some of the other Kameo Fighters that will be appearing as well. While NetherRealm hasn’t explicitly said when the next trailer or info dump may drop, the game’s Comic Con panel on July 21 seems like a safe bet.

It’s been confirmed thatMortal Kombat 1will be featured at San Diego Comic Con, with series creator Ed Boon teasing the game’s appearance at the big show. The panel on July 21 will include Boon himself, other members of the development team, voice actors, and surprise guests. While Comic Con is focused on pop culture at large, its roots are in the comic book industry, and so a leading theory is that the panel will see the announcement of some comic book-related characters for the game’s lineup of guest fighters.
Mortal Kombat 1 Leaked DLC Characters
Amazon leakedMortal Kombat 1’s DLC characters, confirming six characters that are supposedly coming to the game post-launch. These includeMortal Kombatfranchise characters Ermac, Quan Chi, and Takeda, but it also apparently includes three different comic book characters. Assuming theMortal Kombat 1DLC character leakis accurate, fans can look forward to Homelander fromThe Boys, Omni Man fromInvincible, and DC Comics' Peacemaker all appearing in the fighting game as part of its first Kombat Pack.
None of these DLC characters have been officially confirmed just yet, but the official TikTok account forThe Boyshas outright said thatHomelander will be inMortal Kombat 1. However, even if all three of these comic book characters are a part of theMortal Kombat 1DLC lineup, it doesn’t necessarily mean that their announcement will come at San Diego Comic Con, so fans should keep their expectations in check.
Mortal Kombat 1launches September 19 for PC, PS5, Switch, and Xbox Series X.
