Recently, NetherRealm’s Community Manager, Tyler Lansdown, promised details would soon surface concerning a balance-centric patch for Mortal Kombat 11. That time has come, with the studio unleashing the latest update. In Patch 1.07, numerous MK11 combatants receive a whole host of balancing improvements, including DLC fighters Shang Tsung and Shao Kahn. In addition, the new update also adds several new brutalities to the experience. The patch is currently live on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, weighing in at around 5GB on the former and 6.12GB on the latter platform. There’s currently no word on when this patch will go live on Nintendo Switch and PC.
Patch 1.07 also brings the recently announced “Dimitri Vegas as Sub-Zero” skin to the title. It features a number of general gameplay adjustments, too, such as adding Variation details to the Pause Screen in Practice Mode, and improving the AI logic.
