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 won’t roll out until next week, but players will receive a stimulus to keep them in the game, so to speak.
“First, we wanted to say thank you all for your feedback on Mortal Kombat 11 so far,” read the post. “We’re dedicated to bringing you the best experience possible and working to get the latest updates and patches live across all platforms.
“We’re aware of the difficulty issues in Towers of Time, and while we’ve made some changes, rest assured there are more on the way.”
Among the issues addressed is that of AI difficulty. According to many players, the enemy NPCs have proven too difficult to overcome, which is a bitter pill to swallow when they’re all that stands in the way of highly coveted loot. Below, you will find the patch details for Mortal Kombat 11 for their respective platforms.
