Season 16 of Invasions mode is a repeat of Season 8, which originally ran between September 24 and November 20 back in 2024. There are seven Season of the Dark Dragon Klues in total, which will reward Mortal Kombat 1 players with a nice mixture of cosmetics, relics, and Seasonal Kredits upon their completion.
