Mortal Kombat 1 Reveals T-1000 In-Game and Pro Tour Details

Let's address the elephant in the room: Mortal Kombat 1 is experiencing a noticeable decline. The decision to scrap Season 3 content due to poor sales speaks volumes about the game's current state. Moreover, the recent trailer for Pro Kompetition 2025, an esports circuit for the game, can only be described as underwhelming.

The total prize pool for Pro Kompetition 2025 is set at $255,000. In today's esports landscape, this amount is modest, even by Fighting Game Community (FGC) standards. Top players have long expressed frustration over insufficient prize money, highlighting the unsustainability of traveling internationally for meager earnings, often just a few hundred dollars.

In 2025, we can expect to see two distinct player pools: one competing in North American tournaments and the other in Europe. These groups will only converge at EVO 2025, the premier tournament of the year.

While there are efforts to generate excitement and build hype around the game, and the teased in-game image of T-1000 certainly stirs some emotions, the underlying reality remains disheartening. The game's future hangs in the balance, and the community's passion alone might not be enough to turn the tide.
