Having received Quan Chi as the latest DLC character for Mortal Kombat 1, we now know when we will receive the next.
As rumors began circulating regarding a delay, NetherRealm Studios has now confirmed DC’s Peacemaker’s Early Access release date.
An official post on Twitter stated that Peacemaker is preparing to arrive in the New Era. “Early access will be available on February 28, along with the arrival of the new season around the same time. Details on both will be coming later this month.”
Since the Early Access period gives Kombat Pack owners a one-week head start technically, that means John Cena’s vigilante’s full release date will be March 6, 2024.
The Peacemaker delay rumors started after the Season 3: The Cryomancer content countdown had been extended two full weeks longer than originally planned by the MK community.
It appears that intuition was correct considering Feb. 28 pretty much lines up with the new end of Season 3 though NetherRealm is still hitting Peacemaker’s release window, but just barely.
What is interesting and a little concerning, however, is this post makes no mention of Krossplay, which was supposed to release alongside the next DLC character.
Now we no longer know if the long-awaited feature that’ll join together the playerbases of PlayStation 5, Xbox and PC will be even further delayed beyond the end of the month.
It also remains to be seen if this apparent Peacemaker delay will impact Ermac, The Boys’ Homelander and Takeda’s release dates down the pipeline as well this Spring and Summer.
At least we’ll have a new gameplay trailer, Kombat Kast, and more to look forward to for MK1 in the coming weeks where we’ll hopefully hear more information about what’s coming to the game.
