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

Let's be candid: Mortal Kombat 1 is facing a decline. The anticipated Season 3 content appears to have been scrapped due to disappointing sales figures. Moreover, the latest trailer for Pro Kompetition, the game's esports circuit, has been described as lackluster at best.

The Pro Kompetition 2025 boasts a prize pool of $255,000, which, in the current year, falls short even by the standards of the Fighting Game Community (FGC). Top players have previously voiced their frustrations over the meager prize money, highlighting the unsustainability of traveling globally for mere hundreds of dollars in winnings.

This year, the player base is likely to split into two major groups: one competing in North American tournaments and the other in Europe, with their paths crossing only at EVO 2025, recognized as the premier tournament of the year.

While there are efforts to generate excitement and hype around the game, including the teased in-game image of T-1000, the underlying reality paints a rather somber picture for Mortal Kombat 1.
