Warner Bros. and NetherRealm Studios have deployed a new Mortal Kombat 1 patch across all platforms, packing character tweaks and gameplay adjustments.
The patch is available now on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, and should download automatically if this feature has been enabled. Of course, you can also download the update manually via the game update option on your platform. This new update brings various move list corrections as well as localization fixes, and some bug fixes. One of the included fixes is a fix for an issue that caused some of Stryker’s & Sektor’s attacks to be unbreakable.
As said, this update also contains character tweaks as well fixes for some attacks that weren’t working correctly again high parry special moves. We suggest reading the full patch notes for this new update here.
Mortal Kombat 1 is available globally now. As can be read in our launch review, we we’re quite happy with NetherRealm’s latest entry in the series, praising the game’s action, presentation, story, and ultraviolent Fatalities.
“Speaking of cutscenes, like the last few entries in the series, Mortal Kombat 1 features a grand spectacle of a story and it’s the best ones NetherRealm has ever pulled off”, we wrote. “Despite its title, Mortal Kombat 1 isn’t actually reboot, soft or otherwise. The game actually picks up after the events of Mortal Kombat 11’s time-traveling yarn, as Liu Kang – not just a god, but now the God – recrates the entire universe, with the notion that changing certain characters’ destinies will avoid the conflicts of the past. This means we get to see a number of classic characters in an interesting new light – Raiden is just a humble trainee, Mileena is now the honorable heir to Outworld’s throne, and Sub-Zero, well… Sub-Zero is an absolute prick. After decades of more or less doing the same thing, it’s fun to see these characters try on some different hats, and frankly, I actually like some of these new characterizations more than the original ones.”
