Mavado also shows some bravado. Mortal Kombat 1 hasn’t quite exploded like previous entries in the franchise, which will perhaps leave developer NetherRealm and publisher Warner Bros wondering why. Still, there’s promised post-release content to be produced, and next in line is Ermac, who’ll be available from 16th April for Kombat Pack owners and 23rd April for peasants. <related ids="155338"> Read the full article on pushsquare.com ..read more

Cena heaven. Mortal Kombat 1 has, surprisingly, been somewhat overshadowed by the success of Street Fighter 6 and Tekken 8 – but it’s still a great game in its own right. NetherRealm Studios naturally has always had robust support plans for the release, and that will continue with the addition of guest character Peacemaker from 28th February. <related ids="155338"> Read the full article on pushsquare.com ..read more

A battle between fans and financiers. Back in the day, the only reason you’d consider changing the date of your console’s clock is for Easter eggs, like The End boss battle in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. But it’s 2023, almost 2024, and now players are manipulating time due to more nefarious reasons: namely the controversial microtransactions in Mortal Kombat 1. As you may already know, developer NetherRealm has started flogging skins from the release’s Invasion Mode in its in-game store. These can be purchased with a premium currency named Dragon Krystals, and include outfits previously a ..read more

A make good for those who coughed up. The vociferous response to Mortal Kombat 1’s controversial paid Halloween Fatality has prompted Warner Bros to respond, with fans who coughed up for the seasonal finisher getting two bonus moves for free.

Following a brief teaser earlier in the year – and a Microsoft leak – NetherRealm Studios has now confirmed Mortal Kombat 1 DLC character Omni-Man will arrive on 9th November for Kombat Pack owners and 16th November for everyone else.

Boycott begins. An additional Halloween Fatality is available for purchase within Mortal Kombat 1’s in-game store right now, and the release’s community is incensed by the addition. The finisher costs 1,200 Dragon Crystals, but you’ll need to cough up $10 for 1,250 Dragon Crystals in order to obtain it. When you consider the entire release can be purchased for $70, with dozens of Fatalities inside it, that doesn’t exactly seem like great value for money. <related ids="155336"> Read the full article on pushsquare.com ..read more

It's Mortal Kombat, alright! We gave it a 'good' 7/10 in our Mortal Kombat 1 PS5 review, claiming that the core game's great fun, but the surrounding package is a bit hit and miss.
