NetherRealm has just released a new update for Mortal Kombat 1, adding the alternate timeline Kameo fighter Janet Cage alongside some quality-of-life improvements. The latest entry in the long-running Mortal Kombat series proved to be a major hit when it launched back in September, quickly becoming one of the highest-rated games of 2023. Mortal Kombat 1 serves as a solid jumping-on point for newcomers thanks to its rebooted plotline while keeping plenty of fun references for longtime fans.
A prime example of this can be found in Mortal Kombat 1’s new Kameo Fighter mechanic, which allows players to select a secondary combatant from a separate roster to assist their main character in match-ups. Much of the existing Mortal Kombat 1 Kameo roster is pulled from the previous MK timeline, featuring warriors like Scorpion and Sonya Blade as they looked during their initial debuts. Just like with Mortal Kombat 1’s base roster, NetherRealm has been adding more Kameos to the game as DLC, such as the earth-bending ninja Tremor and power-mimicking Khameleon.
The third Mortal Kombat 1 DLC Kameo fighter is finally available for all players as part of the March 2024 update, which can be downloaded across all major platforms. Janet Cage, a female, alternate timeline version of Mortal Kombat 1 mainstay Johnny Cage, was announced as a Kameo shortly before fellow MK 1 DLC character Peacemaker made his debut back in February, and now players can select her to assist in battle.
This latest Mortal Kombat 1 update does more than add a new Kameo to the game’s roster, as there are plenty of bug fixes and other improvements to go with Janet Cage. Many of these fixes are specific to MK 1’s derided Nintendo Switch port, which has been panned due to its questionable graphical performance in comparison to other systems. The PC version of MK 1 is also getting an update to its online crossplay multiplayer, and a few glitches in the latest Invasion season have also been addressed.
