"Mortal Kombat XL" is finally coming to PC in October through Steam, bringing with it the content from Kombat Packs 1 and 2.

NetherRealm's "Mortal Kombat XL" is currently only available in consoles, Christian Times reported, but it will soon be sold on Steam with tons of features. Players will be able to download it onto their PC in October, along with the extra features from Kombat Pack 2.

The "XL" will come with "Mortal Kombat X" and new playable characters, as per Greek Tyrant. These characters include Leatherface from the movie "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre," Xenomorph from "Alien," Triborg and Bo'Rai Cho.

The Kombat Pack 2 also includes the Apocalypse skin pack, but the whole package will also bring the Kold War Skin Pack, Brazil Skin Pack and Kold War Scorpion Skin. The playable character Goro is coming as well.

"Mortal Kombat XL" will also bring along content from the first Kombat Pack, including playables Jason Voorhees, Predator, Tanya and Trevor. Other inclusions are three themed skins for each added character and a Samurai Skin Pack.

Console players who already own the game will receive a patch on the same day, Destructoid reported. The update will fix problems with netcode and will bring stability. However, it should be noted that this does not include Kombat Pack 2, which may be available through a separate purchase, but Warner Bros. still has to confirm.

Pricing details have not been revealed, but it might be sold for $60. According to a previous report from Game Rant, "Mortal Kombat XL" will sell for $60, but this does not refer to the PC version.

According to Game Spot, Warner Bros. first attempted to bring the base game to PC in 2015, but it was met with several bugs and issues. Now, fans are looking forward to seeing if it will be successful this time.

"Mortal Kombat XL" is expected to be available for download starting Oct. 4.
