A time extension for Mortal Kombat 1 Invasions Season 3 leads some players to believe that Peacemaker has been delayed.
Though WB Games and NetherRealm never confirmed as much, it was assumed that Peacemaker would arrive in MK1 on February 13.
Since Quan Chi launched on the same day as Season 3, it made sense that Peacemaker’s scheduled February 2024 debut would go live alongside Season 4. Players had high hopes that Season 4 would introduce crossplay as well, considering the long-awaited feature also boasted a nebulous February 2024 release window.
These hopes have since been dashed, however. According to MK1’s in-game countdown timer, the current season of Invasions will last a little while longer.
Mortal Kombat 1’s Peacemaker DLC likely pushed back
NetherRealm remains mum about Peacemaker’s upcoming MK1 debut, and players think they’ve figured out why. The game’s Invasions countdown timer recently received an update that lengthens the current season by an additional 14 days.
Instead of Season 4 arriving on February 13, then, it’s likely not launching until February 27 or February 28. As iScreamFGC (via thethiny) notes, this implies that Peacemaker and the crossplay update have also been postponed.
It’s worth noting that neither WB Games nor the crew at NetherRealm have officially specified their plans in this regard.
Peacemaker and Crossplay have been officially delayed. The countdown has been increased by exactly 14 days (2 weeks). The current release date for Season 4 & Peacemaker is February 27/28.Note that there is currently no official “announcement”from the MK or WB teams regarding… pic.twitter.com/SpoHV1dkCx

In a follow-up tweet, iScreamFGC shared a screenshot of information relayed by reputable insider FateUnknown.
According to the leaker, Mortal Kombat 1’s Peacemaker content and crossplay feature are indeed slated to launch at the same time. A “desync issue” requiring extensive time and resources is reportedly the reason for the delay.
The reasoning behind the #Peacemaker delay was “Desync fix took a lot of time & resources.” Leaker, FateUnknown was right YET AGAIN after coming out & telling us almost less than 24 hours ago. He is right, time after time again!! 🫣 pic.twitter.com/eX9elTcwpF

Naturally, Mortal Kombat players aren’t pleased with the supposed news. And they’re especially disappointed that the lines of communication with the development team continue to falter.
Hopefully, an official news update will surface sooner rather than later.
