I don't understand it; games like this and Lost Judgement prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that plentiful and creative single player story DLC can exist and be successful in the modern climate, yet 80% of companies sit there and tell us that it's counter-intuitive to budget and that instead of giving us a season pass with something genuinely special to (as well as optionally) actually be excited for, because naturally the course of time to be as profitable as possible is to drown every aspect of a SECONDARY online experience with micro-transactions, treat the main game like trash in hindsight and forget what the campaign meant to begin with.

Absolute praise to Netherrealm Studios for presenting not only an alternate timeline to the events of the main game, but making it simultaneously optional while also maintaining a "true ending" canon. Let this be the common practice of season pass story DLC moving forward; fuck weapon skins, cosmetics, digital art and soundtracks filling up space for actually meaningful content.
