How to unlock Ermac and Mavado in Mortal Kombat 1?

  • MK1 Kombat Pack costs $39.99. It includes six playable characters and five Kameo FIghters.

If you purchase Mortal Kombat 1 Premium Edition for $109.99, your bonuses will include the Kombat Pack and Early Access to the DLC characters. For example, the release date for MK1 Ermac will be April 16 for you.
