Ed Boon Is Not So Kryptically Teasing More Mortal Kombat X DLC
Ed Boon loves toying with fans of NetherRealm’s games. The man at the top of Mortal Kombat’s tower and Injustice’s regime is back at it, with some not-so-subtle hints that Mortal Kombat X still has some room to grow.
The game has already received two “Kombat Packs” with four DLC characters each. A third such bundle might be on the way with a reveal coming at Evo, which takes place July 15 through 17 in Las Vegas.
@MKJ1985 @IGN Thanks. Some people think Injustice 2 killed MKXL Kombat Pack 3. :)

You’ll note in the second of these tweets, the oddly placed uppercase letters are E, V, and O. We asked Boon about whether there might be more Mortal Kombat X DLC when we spoke with him at E3. He did not shut down the idea.
"That is a possibility," he told us. "I guess I don't have a definitive answer right now, but it's a possibility that that's it." With less than one month away, it might not be too long before we find out if more Klassic characters and horror legends are headed to the bloody fighter.

Our Take
With at least six months (likely more) before Injustice 2, it wouldn’t be the least bit surprising to see NetherRealm pump some more into the already packed Mortal Kombat X. Despite the already large roster, there are always more characters fans would like to see.
