The Most Informative Mortal Kombat Source on the Web

As Ed Boon has posted the Mortal Kombat 1 Carlos Pesina Raiden video that we reported about yesterday, someone came to ask Boon if there is anything that is gonna be released soon for the 30th anniversary of the Mortal Kombat franchise:

And Boon simply replied with the answer: "Soon? No."

So as of right now, there is nothing to look for anytime soon. This, however, is a tricky scenario, as the term "soon" can have multiple definitions for multiple people, so the timing of whatever NetherRealm Studios/Warner Bros. has planned for the anniversary being reveled can match the expectations for some people, but not for others. The only thing that we know so far is that Injustice 3 isn't gonna come out, and even though it does disqualify one of the most likeable scenarios, a lot of things are still left open for questions, including the timing. That is of course, if there is anything that is actually planned for the anniversary.

Whatever NRS/WB are working on, whenever they are gonna reveal it and whenever they are gonna release it, it surely is gonna be something big. Will it be released for MK? And will it be revealed and/or released for the anniversary? Only time will tell. Let's see if that will be indeed soon enough.

Yes, your eyes do not deceive you, Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate has received a patch. As announced by the official Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate Twitter page, MK11U has received a patch that allows the Microsoft Play Anywhere PC port of the game to play with Xbox consoles.

As you all know, it was announced that MK11U won't receive DLC support for the game and later it was also announced that there are no plans for any future patches of any kind, so getting this update out of nowhere is surely a pleasant surprise. MK11U already received more support than any other NetherRealm Studios/Warner Bros. game, with the last patch being received in May of last year, and now the game is receiving even more support, extending it's support cycle even further. Only time will tell if we get yet another patch of any kind in the future.

Author's note: Even though the patch is for the Xbox and Microsoft Play Anywhere PC ports, this patch actually made it to other ports as well. I was playing in the Towers of Time yesterday on my PS4 and I got the update as well. Just on a side note.

As we get closer the 30th anniversary of the Mortal Kombat franchise, we now get another piece of history, this time from John Tobias. It was today 30 years ago, April 10th, 1992, that Tobias and Ed Boon came to test the prototype for Mortal Kombat 1 at Times Square Arcade on Clark and Broadway in Chicago, IL. Tobias tells how things went down, and how they could see where the game was going to go, and even shares images of one of the tokens taken from that very same Arcade machine on that very same day, from both sides (there are two sides for every coin, after all ).

Check out Tobias' Twitter thread about the story below, enjoy.
