NetherRealm Studios has announced the release date for the next DLC fighter coming to Mortal Kombat 1.

Returning fighter Ermac will launch on April 16th 2024 for Kombat Pack owners and April 23rd 2024 for all other players. The next kameo fighter Mavado was also revealed, although he will be launching a month later in May 2024.

You can check out the trailer below for a preview of their moves and more:

Ermac is a collection of souls bound together by Quan Chi’s dark magic that are intended to function as a group mind. But that spell is temporarily undone when Ermac is defeated by Mileena and the mind of King Jerrod, deceased ruler of Outworld and one of the souls in Ermac’s collection, takes control and rejoins the royal family, aiding Empress Mileena’s reign. Eventually, the amalgam of souls reestablishes control, and Ermac retreats to Outworld’s shadows. No longer Quan Chi’s slave, nor bound to the royal family, he must find a future worth fighting for. In the new video, Ermac’s devastating moveset is on full display, including his ability to teleport, levitate, and utilize a legion of souls to grab, lift, and slam opponents to the ground.

The Ermac gameplay trailer also provides a first look at Mavado, a new downloadable content Kameo Fighter who can assist during matches with a range of support moves. Mavado will be available as part of the Kombat Pack and standalone purchase in May 2024.
