AI Difficulty Will Be Lowered
Mortal Kombat 11 has launched to plenty of fanfare and some distress. While the latest entry in the fighting game franchise boasts some fantastic features and praiseworthy gameplay, players have voiced negative opinions about the grind. The Towers of Time modifiers, coupled with the slow drop rates for loot, have marred the experience for some. According to developer NetherRealm, the issues are being addressed as we speak.
Over on the Mortal Kombat subreddit, Warner Bros. have detailed some adjustments coming in the next update. The patch wonโt roll out until next week, but players will receive a stimulus to keep them in the game, so to speak.
