NetherRealm Studios has released the patch notes for the latest Mortal Kombat 1 patch. In addition to adding Omni-Man as the game’s very first DLC character this includes alterations to general gameplay, game modes, and individual characters.
Thirteen main roster members will be getting at least one change while the same goes for nine of the game’ Kameo fighters. Read on to see if your favorite character(s) have been updated.
All of this is included in Mortal Kombat 1’s latest update, which became available for download on November 9.
Omni-Man is currently only accessible to those with early access for those who purchased the Premium Edition of Mortal Kombat 1 or the Kombat Pack, but will be available to the rest of the public come November 16.
