Don’t Push Me! (which he never said)
Today is a big day for fans ofMortal Kombat 11,for today sees the launch ofMortal Kombat 11 Ultimate,the latest iteration of NetherRealm’s grisly fighting title. The new update brings with it a slew of balance changes, and transitions the 2019 fighter onto next-gen platforms PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.
Perhaps the most exciting addition – especially for a particularly frenzied portion of the MK fanbase – is the arrival ofKombat Pack 2, bringing with it returning kombatantsRainandMileena, alongside the M-60-toting soldier of fortune himself,John J. Rambo. The three new kharacters are now available for purchase, bolsteringMK 11‘s roster to an impressive 37 fighters… Interesting overkill givenonly one warrioractually matters.
Players who have purchasedMK 11on PS4 or Xbox One will find that they are already able to downloadMK 11 Ultimate– alongside any previously purchased DLC – on the respective next-gen platform. The PS5 and Xbox Series X editions promise faster load times and slicker visuals, though there’s zero promise that you’ll actually be any better at the game itself. This is purely an upgrade from a video game standpoint. You need to get back in the lab… And by “you,” I mean “me.”
Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimateis available now on PS4, PS5, PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, and Stadia. This release includes the base game, theAftermathexpansion, and Kombat Pack 1 & 2.
