Mortal Kombat 1 director and series co-creator Ed Boon is promising some major balance updates to go with the next DLC character, Takeda Takahashi. In the months after Mortal Kombat 1 launched to mostly positive reviews, developer NetherRealm Studios has been refining and improving its latest 2D fighting game with gameplay tweaks and additional playable characters for both the main roster and secondary Kameo support fighters. So far, the former has consisted of Omni-Man, Quan-Chi, Peacemaker, Ermac, and Homelander.
The next Mortal Kombat 1 DLC fighter will be Takeda Takahashi, a member of Scorpion’s Shirai Ryu clan and the son of MK 1 base roster member Kenshi Takahashi in the original Mortal Kombat timeline. Introduced in Mortal Kombat 10, Takeda is part of the so-called 'Kombat Kids,' a new generation of warriors descended from EarthRealm’s old protectors who serve as the protagonists of MK 10’s story. He will make the jump to Mortal Kombat 1’s rebooted universe on July 23 alongside the new Kameo fighter Ferra.
