Mortal Kombat 1 Reveals T-1000 In-Game Image and Pro Tour Details

Let's address the elephant in the room: Mortal Kombat 1 is experiencing a noticeable decline. Reports indicate that the planned Season 3 content has been scrapped due to disappointing sales figures. The recent trailer for Pro Kompetition, the game's esports circuit, failed to generate the excitement many had hoped for, and can only be described as underwhelming.

For 2025, Pro Kompetition boasts a total prize pool of $255,000. While this sum might have been impressive in the past, it falls short of expectations in today's Fighting Game Community (FGC) landscape. Top players have long criticized the insufficient prize money, highlighting the challenges of traveling internationally for what often amounts to just a few hundred dollars in winnings.

This year, the player base is likely to be divided into two main regions: North America and Europe. Competitors from these regions will only come together at EVO 2025, widely recognized as the premier event of the year.

Despite efforts to generate excitement and build hype, including showcasing the in-game image of T-1000, the overall outlook for Mortal Kombat 1 remains somber. The enthusiasm and anticipation stirred by these promotional efforts mask a more troubling reality for the game and its community.
