Terminator in Mortal Kombat 11? T-1000 Eyed for Roster

Let's be honest: Mortal Kombat 1 is struggling. Season 3 content appears canceled due to underwhelming sales, and the recently released Pro Kompetition trailer, promoting the game's esports circuit, is underwhelming at best.

The 2025 Pro Kompetition boasts a total prize pool of $255,000 – a relatively meager sum, even within fighting game community (FGC) standards. This has led to complaints from top players about insufficient prize money, making international travel for potentially small payouts unsustainable.

The 2025 competitive scene will likely see a geographical split, with North American and European players competing primarily in regional tournaments, converging only at EVO 2025, considered the premier fighting game tournament.

While excitement and hype are being generated, the reality behind the flashy reveals, such as the in-game T-1000 teaser, paints a concerning picture for the game's future.
