The latest major update for Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns is here, and with it comes a lot of new content for fans to sink their teeth into. Its biggest draw is easily the newest DLC character, Scream’s own Ghostface, but on top of that we’ve also seen the addition of new costumes, as well as more balance changes.
There’s a lot to get to here, and as a means of making things easier to follow and more succinct, Rooflemonger has put together a fresh visual guide to the new Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns patch notes that showcases everything that has been added and changed.
Rooflemonger kicks things off by listing the additional content that has been added to Mortal Kombat 1 with this update. We have Ghostface himself, of course, as well as classic costumes for various fighters.
In addition to this, there are some festive Christmas-themed costumes that have had compatibility implementations made for, however, these alternate skins are not yet available in the in-game store and have instead likely been discovered by way of data mining from the community.
For something more tangible, though, Roof delves into the latest balance changes and demonstrates each one so you can see what it actually does in real time. Not every character received balance changes in this update, but there are 10 main roster fighters and four Kameo fighters that did.
Among the significant balance changes here we see one made to Homelander. His forward + 4 is now a mid instead of a low, which means it can now be stand blocked and isn’t as insanely strong as it once was (though it’s still a great tool).
Sub-Zero also received some buffs this time around, which many fans should be pleased to hear. His ice clones now last slightly longer on screen (both regular and enhanced), and his slide now has an option that passes through the opponent to the other side which allows him to set up some juggles into his ice clones for combo extension.
There’s quite a bit more to see here, so be sure to check out Rooflemonger’s full Mortal Kombat 1 Ghostface patch notes visual guide below to catch everything.
