Still no word on the Kombat Pack?

[RoninLoganX]

Been checking for info daily and I haven't found anything. Hopefully, they announce something soon, would love to know what I bought. I'd even take just simple character renders.
Anyone have any guesses or suspicions on when they might reveal any info?

 

[SaSSolino]

Nope, and I think Shang will be released shortly after the remaining Pack is revealed, so I seriously hope we won't have to wait long. Give me my main NRS!

 

[Vslayer]

Combo breaker maybe?

 

[RoninLoganX]

I'm hoping they do stick with trend from I2 where they release a character a month. Would give me something to look forward to each month.

 

[JBeezYBabY]

Combo breaker maybe?

BINGO! Thinking the same thing. I have a feeling after Combo Breaker we will get a patch and maaaaybe the release of Shang. I mean, we need something to look forward to right before EVO in August. Combo Breaker is the perfect set up.

In the wake of the negative feedback since launch they're likely to give things time to cool off before they ask people for more dollar.

This, plus the fact that they saw how much heat they and other IPs got for revealing DLC before the game's launch.

NRS is doing the right thing - they just shouldn't have KP1 for sale months before its release without telling us what's in it.

 

[DarksydeDash]

it's gotta be at Combo Breaker, that's the NRS home turf.

When is that?

 

[John Grizzly]

We will get a Shang Tsung gameplay trailer at Combo Breaker including a teaser of the entire Kombat Pack 1 at the end of the trailer, I'd bet.

 

[Nickolaidas]

Never mind, saw it - end of May.

 

[qspec]

Has to be Combo Breaker. As much as I would love a patch and some new characters, you don't want to go screwing around with tournaments.

 

[RoninLoganX]

If they do reveal at Kombo Breaker, hopefully they'll surprise us with a swift release for Shang Tsung shortly thereafter.

 

[mundaney]

Combobreaker is the beginning of the tournament kombat tour thing isn't it? Only fitting that Shang Tsung be shown off there.

Did they ever make a huge announcement at Combo Breaker the last time? I can't remember.

I do know that we have a habit of thinking that the FGC is a big thing in the world, and forgetting that this is a multimillion-seller AAA game.

Remember the, "They're gonna reveal the next MK at EVO" people? Strategically that doesn't make sense. You get maybe 150-200K people watching the biggest main events at EVO. Not sure how many people were tuning in to MK on Saturday night, but making an announcement there isn't a huge splash in the bigger gaming world.

Combo breaker might be different though, since it's something smaller w/ the DLC. If they've done it before, my bad.

NRS seems to usually either go huge with the big announcements (E3) or just go direct to major press and social media (IGN/Twitter/Gamepot etc.)

 

[Baconlord]

At the very latest combo breaker. We also might get something at summit

They dropped the red hood trailer at combo breaker

 

[CrimsonShadow]

They dropped the red hood trailer at combo breaker

But something big, like a Kombat Pack full reveal or a new game, at a tournament

Imo if they did it this year it might be breaking new ground.

 

[MKF30]

As long as they don't wait til E3 lol.

No they showed character trailers at tournaments before. They revealed Tremor at Evo 2015, and they revealed fighter pack 3 with TMNT at Eleague.

whens that

 

[HeavyNorse]

Let them polish the main game first, patching stuff, fixing issues etc, then we can go onto the DLC stuff afterwards. ^^

I certainly don't want them to rush things out, but I would like to at least know officially what's coming as DLC.

 

[Xelz]

They don't need to reveal the whole KP1, but another character or two would be nice. Many of us already bought the pack - knowing what we paid for would be a nice courtesy.

Also, it could drum up more sales ahead of Shang Tsung's release. Some folks are probably on the fence and would buy KP1 once they know who's in it.
