Mortal Kombat 1 was a title that rebooted Ed Boon’s iconic fighting game series. Many iconic fighters from previous titles and guest fighters were added to the game’s dynamic roster as part of downloadable content.
The downloadable content was announced at San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) 2023, and with 2024’s SDCC right around the corner, some fresh rumors and leaks regarding the game have come forward.

SDCC is the melting pot for comic book fans and enthusiasts of other art forms, too. It is the holy grail for geek culture, and San Diego’s Comic-Con is inarguably the grandest among all of the conventions that are held all over the globe.
The first Kombat Pack for Mortal Kombat 1 was announced at SDCC 2023. Hence, leaks and rumors of the 2024 SDCC announcing path-breaking content for the game have been doing rounds on social media platforms like Twitter.
The leaks feature Mileena being one of the central characters for the upcoming Mortal Kombat 1 DLC. This was shared by Twitter user ‘thethiny,’ who frequently posts news regarding the video game series:
As stated in the tweet, the source of the leak was reported to be an insider at NetherRealm Studios, the game’s developer. Mileena will be one of the characters shape-shifting into what appears to be a praying mantis.
This might be damage control after the game garnered criticism from fans recently. This was allegedly clarified by ‘thethiny’ in response to a comment by a fan:
