The latest update for Mortal Kombat 1 has just been released, bringing significant changes to the game. One notable change is the nerfing of Cyrax’s horizontal spin assist, which now requires the entire Kameo meter to perform. This move was previously powerful in combos and blockstrings, so this change is seen as a significant adjustment. It is expected that there are more balance changes included in the update, but the full breakdown has yet to be released.
In addition to the balance changes, NetherRealm Studios has added a new Halloween stage variation to the Cage Mansion. This variation is likely to be available for a limited time and free of charge. Another desired feature that has been reintroduced is the ability to pin moves on the screen for improved learning and practice options.
Other improvements in the update include the ability to mute opponents in online matches, an in-game ping/connection indicator, and the option to purchase a Halloween Fatality in the shop. However, it should be noted that the update is currently only available on PlayStation and Xbox, with PC and Nintendo Switch users having to wait for the changes. More information will be provided as it becomes available.
