Mortal Kombat 11 patch reduces difficulty and increases rewards
Time-limited “thank you gift” of in-game currencies also given out
NetherRealm Studios has released a new Mortal Kombat 11 update designed to address issues with the Towers of Time mode and reward players with more-in game currency for unlockables.
Available now on PS4 and coming to Xbox One soon, the update reduces the difficulty of Towers of Time opponents, while increasing the various currency rewards dished out for playing the mode.
The update also tweaks rewards earned in AI battle mode and increases the currency rewards for ranked matches, among other features.
The full patch notes were posted on Reddit and are republished below.
NetherRealm detailed the update last week in response to community feedback criticising the difficulty of the fighting title and the grind required to earn in-game currencies.
It also said it’s working on separate game updates for the PC and Switch versions of the title and announced that players on all platforms would receive a mixture of primary and premium in-game currency as a “thank you gift”.
This time-limited offer is now available on PS4 until 8am CST/6am PST/2pm UK on Monday May 6. The “community gift” will roll out on other platforms alongside their respective updates.
VGC’s Mortal Kombat 11 review said the title’s “close to being the best all-round fighting game package, but falls just short due to an aggressive need for currency grinding to unlock content”.
