Mortal Kombat 1 Update SHAKES UP The Game! You Won’t Believe What They Did!

by

A fresh update for Mortal Kombat 1, developed by Netherrealm Studios, has been rolled out, addressing issues in main characters like Scorpion, T-1000, Frost, and Madame Borgia. Expected to launch in 2023, this violent combat game serves as a fresh start for the series, introducing a new narrative timeline that alters the course of events in Liu Kang’s imagined reality. The gameplay retains similarities with Mortal Kombat 11, but introduces the concept of Kameos – secondary fighters who aid in combos. Previous updates have impacted the abilities of these Kameos, and today’s modifications continue this trend, particularly with specific moves.

Unlike the previous update that encompassed changes to Character Mastery and graphical upgrades for PC, the latest hotfix for Mortal Kombat 1 primarily concentrates on character alterations. The primary modifications are made to key fighters Li Mei and the new DLC character, Terminator’s T-1000. For these characters, numerous attacks such as Mei’s Nova Blast and T-1000’s Liquiform Surplex have been optimized for improved frames, with the latter also receiving a reduction in health. In contrast, characters like Conan, Motaro, and Darrius are given increased health to aid them during lengthy, competitive battles.
