Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has said Mortal Kombat X will receive more DLC in 2016 in the form of additional playable characters, as well as more skins and a new environment.

In August 2015, the publisher canceled the last-generation version of the game, which was in development at High Voltage Software.
