Mortal Kombat 11has so far only added one DLC character to the game in the form ofShang Tsung, and Kombat Pack owners are eagerly anticipating the next character in the lineup. We’ve known for some time that Nightwolf will be the second DLC character inMortal Kombat 11, but we haven’t quite been sure when he would be added to the game. And though NetherRealm has yet to offer an official release date for the character, it seems theMortal Kombat 11Nightwolf release date has leaked ahead of time.

It’s quite likely that this leakedMortal Kombat 11Nightwolf release date is accurate. For one, August 13 and August 20 are both Tuesdays, which is when new DLC and games are typically released. Secondly, these dates are right after the EVO 2019 fighting game tournament, which is scheduled to take place from August 2 to August 4.

There is a precedent for fighting game companies to make big announcements at EVO, and so it wouldn’t be all that surprising if NetherRealm announced theMortal Kombat 11Nightwolf release date at the event. Combine the timing with the fact that the source of the leak is Nintendo itself, and it seems that theNightwolfrelease date will in fact be August 13 for Kombat Pack owners and August 20 for everyone else.

Of course, there’s always the possibility that the leaked release date for Nightwolf is inaccurate. Maybe whoever added that information to Nintendo’s website was mistaken, or maybe NetherRealm’s release date plans for the character will change. We caution fans to take this news with a grain of salt until NetherRealm itself offers official release date details for Nightwolf or any of the otherMortal Kombat 11DLC characters.

Mortal Kombat 11is out now for PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One, with a Stadia version also in development.
