Read details on the game below:
Quan Chi was born into hard labor in an Outworld mine. He had no future, just the guarantee of certain death in its dark tunnels. Fearing for his life after betraying fellow mine workers, Quan Chi’s life was saved by a mysterious benefactor and in exchange for his service, she offered to free him from the mines and train him in dark magic. Now a master of the Netherrealm’s most vile sorcery, he plots with Shang Tsung to conquer the realms. In the new video, Quan Chi’s necromancing powers and manipulation of portals are on full display, including his ability to summon skulls, skeletons, and Netherrealm demons for devastating attacks.
Additionally, the trailer provides a first look at Khameleon, a new DLC Kameo Fighter who can assist during matches with a range of support moves. Khameleon will be available as part of the Kombat Pack and standalone purchase in January 2024. Viewers will also catch a glimpse of Peacemaker, the upcoming guest character from DC’s The Suicide Squad film and the Peacemaker series on Max. Peacemaker in Mortal Kombat 1 will feature the voice and likeness of actor John Cena and will be available as part of the Kombat Pack and a la carte in February 2024.
Mortal Kombat 1 is available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Switch, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.

Quan Chi is a regular Mortal Kombat character that should have come with the game, dlc should be reserved for the characters like Freddy and Omni-Man
Not sure why this is downvoted, it's true. We have this problem with Tekken where classic characters are seemingly held behind a pay wall but the devs know people will pay. I don't mind guests or new but at least give us our classics for free.
Probably because some people actually disagree. The game comes with a huge selection of characters in the base game. While it would be good for a game to give you everything, there is such a thing as time and resources. MK comes with many classic characters but there is only so much any company can and I would say should commit to the base roster including everything else that comes with the game. While MK1 has its issues with monetization situation, the base roster isn't one of them.
Then just add new or guest characters and charge for those. The idea that some people's favourite characters will always be behind a DLC tax is just sad. Or at least allow a way for those character to be earned in game even if it takes time, even if that's just classic or make them free and charge for cosmetics, things that don't affectm gameplay.
Well they did add new guest characters but as stated the roster is huge and there is only so much development time in the day. Just giving everyone the same character in the base roster isn't what all gamers want. There is a balance that needs to be made where you have the standard regulars, and you have new characters. This is what most fighting games that have a long history like MK does and they have always done this. Fight gamers want to see new and old characters not just a rehash or the same characters over and over.
Also why should they allow you to earn the characters for free. It was not free to make the characters, from all the costumes, voice work, animation and coding. None of that work is free because a team had to create those characters and they are probably getting paid a nice salary to do so.
Just say you disagree then, I've literally never thumbs down anyones opinion on this website, what does it even do?
I have never thumbs down anyone as well but the site gives the option so there will be some people that actually use it without giving an explanation. The key is why even care about a thumbs down. I know I do not care. I only see it as someone either not liking what I have to say or not liking me either one does not mean anything in particular to me.
