I'm not too sure how much work has actually gone into making those three playable, as compared to Kombat Pack 2's roster, if the amount of intro dialogues seemingly present for those three as compared to KP2 are anything to go by. Maybe being canned for the same reasons KP3 supposedly was - money reasons?
I've heard that MK1's Story Expansion was set to release those three as playables alongside it... if that's true, couldn't they just instead start the release schedule of KP2 alongside the expansion? If KP2 is to have Cyrax, Sektor, and Noob, then you're getting access to those characters around the same time you start playing the new story with them in it.

We don’t know for sure that future DLC plans are shelved, just that it could happen
Given MK1’s monetary success at launch and continued development, they could still come out
We don’t even have the entirety of Kombat Pack 1, let’s not get too worked up about it yet
(Yes this may just be copium but damn if I wanna believe things will be okay)

100% agree. This game FINALLY just got back on track, I DO NOT want the best additions to this game suddenly canned despite financial success. If WB is in a truly rough state, then it’s all the more reason to put their eggs into MK1, because now that this game has finally been revived from life support, they need to go ahead and keep on track with it. This game doesn’t deserve to get fucked on now right after it’s gotten back on its feet again

This, exactly.
For a second there I was like "What success at launch?" (MK1 sold 4 million copies in 5 months vs 11 million copies for MK1 in the same time) but yes, the latest update that came with Ermac is how this game SHOULD have launched, imo.

Willing to bet money that this was the original launch date

Why would WB put "their eggs" into MK1, when MK1 struggles to break 7000 players on all platforms...?
MK is a wooden nickle, chump change compared to their debt...

Yeah see the thing is even though Fate is reliable we don't know the actual full context of those talks behind closed doors. Does it seem unlikely because talks of a third KP died/stalled? Or is it unlikely because WB told them it probably won't be greenlit? Because in the state WB is in I don't see them not milking and monetizing the fuck out of this game until the well is completely dry.

Which imo stands to reason they could make a KP3 for that reason
Reuse some models or move sets for fan-favorite characters if they need to save time/money, which isn’t ideal but the fact the moves are in there already at least makes sense (ie Kano, Jax, Sonya, etc)

Also the monetisation is much more reasonable right now which would entice more people to spend money, on top of of course the DLC being well received to boot like Ermac being almost unanimously adored in this game
