It seems safe to say that, after a rocky start,Mortal Kombat 11’s first Kombat Pack has been a big hit. With the likes of Sindel, Terminator, and most recently the Joker (among others) each being a superb addition to the roster,Mortal Kombat 11is in even better shape now than when it launched, and that’s saying something. There’s no such thing as a perfect game, but there is such thing as a great game that continuously gets better, and that’s where this gory-fighting game falls.

However, that’s not to say thatMortal Kombat 11is any where near complacency; in fact, withMortal Kombat 11’s Spawnreleasing soon, many are curious as to how the first Kombat Pack will end. And it seems like it will be with a major hit, if past releases and the hype around Spawn is any indication.

MK11 Spawn Release Date

Now, it is known theMK11Spawn gameplay trailerwill be revealed at Final Kombat 2020 on March 8th. Fans can reasonably expect a close look at the character, including his combos, a Fatal Blow or two, a fatality, and perhaps a couple of skins. This will be the real test of Spawn’s hype, which seems likely to get an A+, and then Spawn will release just a short time later.

MK 11Kombat Pack ownerswill get their hands on Spawn first starting March 17, with the full release happening on March 24. That means, as of the time of this writing, it’s only a month until the full release, 3 weeks or so until the Kombat Pack release, and roughly 2 weeks until the first gameplay trailer is shown. And as the old idiom goes, “time flies when you’re having fun,” so for Mortal Kombat 11 fans, it’s likely the time will fly by prior to Spawn’s release.

It’ll be interesting to see how Spawn plays into the greater world ofMortal Kombat 11’s meta tier list, how he got into the world in the first place, and what his style of gameplay is, but that’s not to say the hype train ends with Spawn.

The release of Spawn means the future ofMortal Kombat11 is being paved.Spawn could end the first Kombat Packon a high note, which will seriously influence how successful the rumored but not officially confirmed Kombat Pack 2 will be. There’s a possible breather between releases, but it’s also possible that new characters keep being churned out, meaning the next could release as early as May 2020 based on Kombat Pack patterns.

Right now, it’s all but officially confirmed that Fujin, Sheeva, and Ash Williams from theEvil Deadwill be included. OtherMK11 Kombat Pack 2rumorssuggest that any of the following could be included:Halloween’s Michael Myers, Stryker, Havik, or Takeda. It’s worth taking these last few characters with a grain of salt, as while the first three mentioned come from a reliable pre-release leak, these others have only surfaced recently.

Either way, while Spawn may be the end of the first Kombat Pack, he can also be seen as the leader who will set the tone for Kombat Pack 2. WithSpawn’sMK11release dateright around the corner, the future seems bright…from a gory and hellish perspective, that is.

Mortal Kombat 11is out now for PC, PS4, Stadia, Switch, and Xbox One.
