Netherrealm Studios ends support for Mortal Kombat 11

The Outerhaven writes: Netherrealm Studios has officially announced that they are no longer supporting Mortal Kombat 11 after doing so for the last two years.

sourOG1781d ago

Lmao lame. I wish MK was owned by a Japanese company.

TallDarknWavy1781d ago

They did a ton of DLC, it's time to move on to the next game. I wish they had multiple teams running Injustice and MK, maybe they do I don't know, but I was never a fan of Injustice, I'd rather see more MK sooner.

sourOG1781d ago (Edited 1781d ago )

They did but I disagree it’s time to move on. In the past they moved on because their new game came out. It sounds like their next game whatever it is isn’t coming out for awhile. NRS has been radio silent for months and they will probably continue to be for years. Street fighter 5 is a completely different game now and has been supported for how many years?

Yeah same here. MK is probably my favorite franchise and I couldn’t care less about injustice. Exactly, I’d rather see more MK dlc.

On a side note: what’s up with the rainbow MK symbol? Lmao

TallDarknWavy1781d ago

You haven't noticed the men in MK keep getting increasingly scantily clad and the women are increasingly covered up? This has been a general trend the last two games.
Netherrealm studies has a ton of gay guys working there. Because hiring people based on who they want to have sex with, their genitals and melanin cell count magically makes for better products! (It doesn't)

sourOG1781d ago

Still seems like an odd product for random pandering to me lol. The death tournament symbol in rainbow colors lmao.

Terry_B1781d ago

so you could buy more dlc? lol. The game already got as many character as a Street Fighter V, SoulCalibur V or arc system games in 4 years actually. It has 37 playable characters. With 3 dlcs including an excellent story expansion, more stages as well as more moves and costumes.

sourOG1781d ago

Hell yeah keep it going. How about a pit stage lol. The number of characters doesn’t mean as much as support. If you support your games for 10 years those fewer characters get many more changes. Sometimes they feel like new characters. Shao Kahn was ass for 98% of mk11’s life cycle, now he’s a monster. Those kinds of changes didn’t happen enough. I played almost only as shao Kahn since the beginning so I know lol. This news means no patches or changes, this is how mk11 is from now on besides random bug fixes.

I would buy another story expansion, would you? I’d buy more characters. I’d take regular support of character and meta changes. They are done though, I’m deleting it finally. My sourness is really just me wishing ash Williams ended it lol. The pros are playing mkx on twitch so NRS cut the cord. No big tournaments included mk11. The regular support is different for Japanese fighting games. They change the entire meta, add ins not add ons. That’s what I meant with my first comment.

chiefJohn1171781d ago

Well said sour, liu kang and Shao khan are mains. I was a beast even before khan got buffed but I see how they didn't do him justice in many ways. I need to hop back on cause I haven't played since the patch

sourOG1781d ago

@chiefjohn
Yea kahn was an absolute blast. When I say he was ass I just mean in terms of matchups against other characters. When you get your momentum it was really fun but it was really easy to get f***ed up with kahn. He’s a lot better now but honestly, playing with shitty kahn made me a much better player lol. It was hard for me to loose that muscle memory and switch characters.

Chevalier1781d ago

"On a side note: what’s up with the rainbow MK symbol? Lmao"

One Shang Tsung has that rainbow 🌈 friendship finish and more importantly it's probably to celebrate pride month.

sourOG1781d ago

Ahh yeah that makes sense lol. I don’t go on Twitter they are probably all rainbows.

ScootaKuH1781d ago

So MK goes woke then?

Oh dear

FunAndGun1780d ago

@ScootaKuH

Well, they aren't going broke. Deal with it.

PurpHerbison1780d ago

If it was owned by a Japanese company there is a strong chance it would have the worst netcode ever.

Chevalier1780d ago

I hear Guilt Gear Strive has good net code

sourOG1780d ago (Edited 1780d ago )

I’m not much of a guilty gear player but I will probably pick up the complete version on sale later. MK is the only fighting game where I actually put some effort into online but I enjoy most of them. Mk11 had WiFi scorpion too lol. I was like 60/40 in my win losses and I was really happy about it. I thought I would do much worse. I picked kahn and ran with it lol. My defense has leveled up a lot.

They gave us a ton of content. Thanks Netherrealm. I’m still playing MKX and 11. I can’t wait for Injustice 3 (I’m assuming their next project is Injustice 3)

Elda1781d ago

It's supposedly a Marvel fighting game.

SDuck1781d ago

That rumor has so many loopholes it's crazy

CobraKai1781d ago

I didn’t know that. I’d love to see a Netherrealm Marvel game and I’d love to see Capcom use DC

blackblades1781d ago

Yeah, I also cant wait for injustice 3. My main thing about there games are the online. It be lagging and get random disconnection even if I'm at full bars. It ruin the tournament's as it scree me one time doing injustice 2 tournament. Japanese fighting games I have less of that problem.

tombfan1781d ago

Great game with lots of content... Sadly I'm one of those few that wait until they make the ultimate ultimate final ultimate version to buy (like they did, already bought it and finished it)

-Hermit-1781d ago

Same. I am somebody that tends to wait for fighting games because I know that they are going to release a ton of DLC. I may miss out on the online part's most popular period, but I don't care, I'm more of single player person when it comes to fighting games anyway.

Michiel19891780d ago

I used to do this as well, now i really want to start them when they release. to learn the game along with the rest of the playerbase. I always feel that if i wait for the ultimate version the only people who play online are the veterans which kick my ass so badly its not even funny. I never buy or care that much about dlc characters etc so I never feel like im missing our or being ripped of that much.

FlintGREY1781d ago

NRS always kills their own games. Sad that Street Fighter 5 and Tekken 7 is still being supported and MK won't be

fsfsxii1781d ago

ironically, those two games are the worst received titles in their respective series
they should abandon ship.

Venoxn4g1781d ago

Well..does that mean that Ash from Evil Dead wont be there? :(

The7Reaper1781d ago

I mean "ends support" is a definite no on him appearing, maybe in MK12

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio19d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing19d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9219d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit19d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing19d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9219d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
