Mortal Kombat 9: Komplete edition DLC unavailable or missing issue acknowledged

If you are into fighting games, Mortal Kombat is one of the best fighting video games of all time. That being said, Mortal Kombat: Komplete Edition was released in 2013 and came with every available DLC back then.

Developed by NetherRealm Studios and published by Warner Bros. Interactive, the game was dubbed by some as the best Mortal Kombat ever. In 2020, it was removed from Steam due to some conflicts with the Warner Bros. Games network.

With that being said, Microsoft revived the popular backward compatibility program one last time and added Mortal Kombat 9 along with several other games to the latest version of Xbox.

It is also available to those sporting a PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 on the PlayStation Now service. But those who are trying to play the game on the recent gen consoles are reporting that every Mortal Kombat 9: Komplete Edition DLC is unavailable right now.

This is really frustrating for those looking forward to enjoying the game on next-gen hardware since it breaks one of the basic components of the game. It also features retro fatalities, four characters, and more than 15 skins.

Hey, I know that there are other people with obtaining the 4 dlc characters too. I could only get the Kitana and Sub Zero classic costumes and compatibility pack 2 (Kenshi) & 4 (Freddy). Rain is a paid content in the marketplace and Scarlet is nowhere to be seen. I bought the season pass for 10 euros thinking that this would fix the problem, but without any succes. Does anyone out there have suggestions? Thanks. Btw; I live in Europe/The Netherlands

So, I think it’s fair to say we’re hyped to have a newly accessible way to play Mortal Kombat 9, ye? Ye! Except, as some others on here have reported, Komplete Edition is reading as a normal version of the game. As in, no DLC, none of the unlockables already completed. Will this be rectified soon or has someone figured out any home fixes?

Fortunately, WB Games support said that they are aware of the issue where Mortal Komat: Komplete Edition DLCs are unavailable and said that it is currently under investigation. However, they did not share any ETA on when it will actually be fixed.

Until then, players have no option but to enjoy the normal version of the game. In the meantime, we’ll keep an active track of the developments on this one and update the story, as and when required.
