Summary

The upcoming Peacemaker DLC forMortal Kombat 1now has an official release date of February 28. The latest entry in the venerable fighting series released back in September and quickly earned a place among thebest competitive multiplayer games of 2023. Since then, developer NetherRealm Studios has built on this success, adding new characters through DLC. These have expanded the roster and brought lots of other popular franchises into the world ofMortal Kombat 1, and more are still scheduled for the year ahead.

With theMortal Kombat 1DLC release schedule officially established, there haven’t been many surprises up until now. Fans have known which characters were coming and when to expect them.

On Twitter, publisher Warner Bros. Games announced that the Peacemaker DLC will officially release for those with early access on February 28. The DC Comics antihero was originally slated to land on February 13 for early access and February 20 for everyone else. This week, however, an extension to the current season of the game hinted thatMortal Kombat 1fans might have to wait a bit for Peacemaker. Now, these suspicions have been confirmed.

Mortal Kombat 1’s Peacemaker DLC Release Date

The announcement from Warner Bros. Games added that the next season ofMortal Kombat 1will launch “around the same time” and that more information will be coming soon. The tweet didn’t mention when the regular release for the Peacemaker DLC is set, but given the pattern of theMortal Kombat 1Kombat Pack Release scheduleup until now, players that didn’t pay for early access should expect to get their hands on the DLC one week later.

Mortal Kombatfans, and especially those who also love DC Comics, will likely be eager to finally get to play as the super-violent and ironicallynamed Peacemaker in a few weeks. Some gamers have been speculating abouthow Harley Quinn could work as aMortal Kombat 1DLC character, and Peacemaker’s release will at least allow them to fight as a different member of the Suicide Squad. There are currently no announced plans to add Harley or any other DC characters but, if Peacemaker is a hit, gamers can always hope that some of his peers will get to make an appearance in the future.
