What Is the Mortal Kombat 'Kombat Kast'

The Mortal Kombat 'Kombat Kast' has been around for a good few years, used as a livestream run by NetherRealm developers to really dig into the game and upcoming changes or new characters. Normally these livestreams are hosted by Tyler Lansdown, Derek Kirtzic, and Stephanie Brownback. If you're a fan of the Injustice fighting games, it's similar to WatchTower streams NetherRealm also run.

When Is The Next Mortal Kombat Kombat Kast

Update 1 - Quan Chi has now been revealed, and the new DLC character is releasing December 14. If we assume NetherRealm follows the same logic as Omni-Man, we can expect to see an extended Quan Chi Kombat Kast the day before launch, on December 13. We've updated our countdown timer to reflect how long you likely have to wait.

Update 2 - And here it is:

When can we expect to see the next Kombat Kast for Mortal Kombat 1? If we had to guess, we imagine the next Kombat Kast will take place shortly after the reveal of the next DLC character, which is Quan Chi.

Although there's no firm release date for Quan Chi, he's expected to arrive in "Winter 2023/2024", which means he could arrive anywhere between December to March 2023.

With this in mind, we think we'll be seeing Quan Chi before the end of January. But as we've suggested, this is just a rough prediction. The countdown clock below is a countdown until the end of January. So we''ll certainly see a Kombat Kast before this countdown runs out.
