Mortal Kombat 1 Reveals Ghostface Release Date

Key Takeaways

  • Ghostface from Scream is joining Mortal Kombat 1 as a DLC character, with a release date of November 19 for early access players.
  • November 26 is the day that all players will have the chance to buy the Ghostface DLC.

As a longtime fan of both “Mortal Kombat” and “Scream,” I couldn’t be more excited about the impending arrival of Ghostface to the roster of fighters in “Mortal Kombat 1.” The prospect of witnessing this iconic horror movie villain clash with the likes of Sub-Zero, Scorpion, and Johnny Cage is simply too enticing to ignore.


The notorious Ghostface, known from the horror movie ‘Scream’, is set to join the roster of characters in ‘Mortal Kombat 1’. Players can now anticipate the arrival of this latest downloadable content character. The announcement of the second wave of guest characters for ‘Mortal Kombat 1’ was made during San Diego Comic-Con 2024 back in July. The first half of these DLC characters were released along with the Khaos Reigns story expansion in late September, while classic Mortal Kombat fighters Cyrax, Sektor, and Noob Saibot made their entrance into the new universe of ‘Mortal Kombat 1’. They played a significant part in the DLC’s new narrative.

In addition to previously introduced fighters Oni-Man, Homelander, and Peacemaker from the initial DLC, Mortal Kombat 1’s Kombat Pack 2 will also introduce a trio of special guest characters. Leading this group is none other than Ghostface, hailing from the Scream horror franchise, joining an already infamous roster of movie villains that have invaded Mortal Kombat. Prior to the release of Khaos Reigns, fans were treated to a sneak peek of Ghostface’s fatalities in Mortal Kombat 1, which creatively referenced his cinematic heritage by incorporating a second Ghostface to mercilessly attack their unfortunate opponent.

November 19 for those who have already purchased the Kombat Pack 2 DLC and November 26 for all other players.

There were whispers about Ghostface appearing as a character in Mortal Kombat 1 long before the announcement of Kombat Pack 2. In recent times, this masked menace from Woodsboro has been causing havoc in various video games. For instance, Ghostface was incorporated into Dead by Daylight in 2019, with a fresh narrative for its latest version. The character also made an appearance as a playable operator during Season 6 of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and Call of Duty: Warzone, and more recently, it has been introduced to Hunt: Showdown 1896 with a spooky new design.

There’s a lot more to learn about the new version of Ghostface in Mortal Kombat 1, particularly who is hidden beneath the mask and what other moves they have up their sleeve.
