Mortal Kombat 1 Khaos Reign: Exact release date, time, and more
Mortal Kombat 1's Khaos Reigns expansion launches with a whooping $53.39, introducing new characters, a story campaign, and Kombat Pack 2.
NetherRealm Studios' Mortal Kombat 1 Khaos Reigns expansion is set to introduce a host of new content, characters, and features to the game.
The Khaos Reigns expansion introduces an exciting new story campaign. “When a perilous threat arrives from an alternate timeline, led by the ruthless Titan Havik whose sole mission is to throw the realms into khaos, Liu Kang must rally his champions and put faith in his enemies to defeat this grave danger. If they fail, the New Era will be reduced to anarchy,” Warner Bros. explained.
Perhaps the most exciting addition for long-time fans of the franchise is the return of Animalities. Available as part of the free update, Animalities are finishing moves where characters transform into animals and brutally finish off their opponents.
When will MK1 Khaos Reigns be released?
The Khaos Reigns DLC will be available on September 24 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC. According to the PlayStation Store, the expansion will go live at 4 PM BST in the UK. Players who want to jump in as soon as it launches can pre-load the game if they’ve pre-ordered it.
The DLC is reported to take up about 15GB on PlayStation, so it shouldn't take long to download and be ready for action.
