With Ermac already being out for a little over two weeks now, some are wondering which Mortal Kombat 1 DLC character is coming out next. NetherRealm Studios recently dropped a teaser trailer for Homelander as the next fighter to come out in the game.

The player base was already aware of Homelander coming to Mortal Kombat 1 since the developers announced the Kombat Pack 1 DLC back in September 2023. The DLC pack includes Mortal Kombat originals such as Ermac, Quan Chi, and Takashi Takeda. Then there are the guest characters including Omni-Man from Invincible, DC's Peacemaker, and the soon-launching Homelander from The Boys.

Despite that knowledge, NetherRealm never disclosed when the DLC character was coming out. However, fans no longer have to worry as the mighty John Gillman is coming up next.

Mortal Kombat 1 DLC – Homelander Potential Release Date

As of the moment, NetherRealms is yet to announce when Homelander will officially make his debut. But based on the current trend of the DLC characters' release window, it's safe to assume he could launch in late June or early July. This comes as perfect timing as well considering how the new season of The Boys will release around that time.

Similar to the other DLC characters, a Kameo Fighter is coming out alongside Homelander. Based on the teaser trailer, it appears that Ferra is the next Kameo Fighter. Ferra made her debut in the Mortal Kombat franchise back in Mortal Kombat X. She was initially a playable character who was paired up with her masked giant known as Torr. She served as one of Kotal Kahn's bodyguards. Kahn found the tiny warrior wandering around the Tarkatan wastelands before offering her the opportunity to serve his highness.

Fast forward to Mortal Kombat 1, Ferra makes her return this time without Torr. Despite no longer having her giant to ride on, she still seems enthusiastic to wreak havoc on the battlefield.

Next Mortal Kombat 1 DLC Character

Given how Homeland is one out of the two remaining DLC characters coming to the game, that leaves players with one more fighter. Takeda Takahashi is next line and will most likely make his return sometime in August or September.

Takeda Takahashi is one of the three DLC characters originally from the Mortal Kombat franchise. He was one of Mortal Kombat X's main protagonists wherein he also made his debut in the franchise. Takeda trained under the leader of the Shirai Ryu, Hanzo Hasashi. While Takahashi's loyalty belongs to the Shirai Ryu, he's also part of the Special Forces due to being the son of Kenshi.

Once Takeda Takahashi makes his return to the franchise, fans can expect NetherRealm to announce the next Kombat Pack. It isn't certain if more guest characters are coming to the game, however, more characters are surely to come. The developers wouldn't add an enumeration to Kombat Pack 1 if they didn't plan on releasing a second and third pack. Plus given the nature of fighting games these days, the roster of fighters becomes widely expansive over time.
