It's a sight some fans thought they'd never see: Mortal Kombat XL and Kombat Pack 2 are officially coming to the PC platform!
Forget the cryptic teases! Mortal Kombat XL is officially making its way to PC gamers!
The long awaited update and repair of Mortal Kombat X for PC will incorporate the successful GGPO online play found in console versions, along with other improvements and solutions.
Fans who can't wait to dive into MKXL can help aid the project to fruition by joining the recently launched Beta test! Launching the game will take you to the relevant options, or by visiting Steam.
Since discovering the poll feature on Twitter, NetherRealm Studios Creative Director Ed Boon has taken to asking everything from movie preferences to most desired game content. He returned to the hot button topic of Mortal Kombat X this week, asking fans which news they'd most like to see:
A major update is coming to Mortal Kombat X in 2016! By popular demand; NetherRealm Studios will invite fans to participate in a closed beta test for an announced enhanced overhaul of the online experience! Accepting submissions next week; the beta will introduce an all new model for online play with emphasis on reducing discernible lag.
Creative Director Ed Boon has dropped an enticing message for Mortal Kombat X fans on Twitter. The slightly cryptic note: a promise of much more good news beyond the imminent, controversial Kombat Pack 2.
Beleaguered PC gamers received a much needed injection of support today, addressing several on-going issues some are still experiencing. Details of the new patch [via Steam] run through a gauntlet of fixes, but be warned before downloading: Some players are reporting new catastrophic errors as a result of the patch, including deleted save files and aspect ratio problems. Note: The patch has officially been pulled.
PC gamers looking to get a total dose of kombat may want to check out Bundle Stars for a late Mortal Kombat X pre-order. The "Special Kombat Pack" flash sale lasts for one more day and allows gamers to acquire the 2015 fighter and its precursor Mortal Kombat in one purchase!
Fans of the original Mortal Kombat trilogy may be disappointed to learn Mortal Kombat: Arcade Kollection has been removed from the Steam digital store.
Mortal Kombat Online has learned the three-in-one game was removed Friday, September 5th. At the time of this reporting, no additional information was available.
Update Sep. 25: Arcade Kollection (mislabelled as "Mortal Kombat Kollection") is now back online! Check it out now for $9.99.
Anecdotal evidence points toward problems relating to the closure of Games for Windows Live [full story] and resulting corruption errors from profile retrievals. Some players have reportedly experienced virtual disk space crashes.
Arcade Kollection is still presently available for home console downloads via Xbox Live and PlayStation Store. The PC version was originally staggered from console releases, available from February, 2012 - some nine months after console release.
Mortal Kombat Online will continue to follow the story as more details become available. Special thanks to MKOmmunity User ShoeUnited for providing information. Register to share your MKAK experience with us on the forums.
