The latest update from the Mortal Kombat franchise has introduced a new DLC character, Homelander, from the popular Amazon Prime series, The Boys.

A cameo appearance by Ferra is also teased, likely rounding out the supporter roster. While no definitive release date for Homelander has been announced, speculation is high that it may coincide with the premiere of The Boys' fourth season on June 13th. In addition to Homelander, the mystical character Ermac joins the fight, with Mavado following shortly behind.

When will the Homelander DLC be available for Mortal Kombat 1?

There's no official release date yet for Homelander’s launch in Mortal Kombat 1, but it is anticipated to be around the time of The Boys' fourth season release on June 13th.

Mortal Kombat is well-known for its gory, over-the-top fighting mechanics and rich character background. Since its original title release in 1992, Mortal Kombat has been a staple in the fighting game community. It's recognized for its substantial roster of characters, unique finishing moves known as "Fatalities," and its intricate and often dark storylines. The inclusion of characters from various media, like Homelander from The Boys, is a testament to the game's cultural reach and ongoing ability to engage players with new and exciting content.
