The Mortal Kombat 11 release date was just yesterday, and it has certainly been a controversial launch. While Mortal Kombat 11 reviews have been quite positive, players have been taking major issue with the game's excessively grindy approach to progression. For those may now be hesitant to pickup a copy of NetherRealm Studios' newest fighting game, after hearing these reactions, a new deal could convince them to take the plunge.

At the time of writing, players can buy Mortal Kombat 11 for $10 off, a 17% discount, from Amazon. This deal applies to Mortal Kombat 11 on Switch, PS4, and Xbox One, and it is for the game's Standard Edition.

Indeed, such an immediate discount on the game may suggest that the complaints being voiced by players are having a real impact on sales. Currently, Mortal Kombat 11 has a 2.6 user score on Metacritic, a number that could undoubtedly scare away many potential purchasers.

That said, Mortal Kombat 11 is receiving critical praise for its purportedly exceptional take on combat. Some reviews even go so far as to say that Mortal Kombat 11 is "the best entry in the series to date," though many of these reviews are also quick to note that there are serious issues with the game's progression system.

Fortunately, NetherRealm has announced that Mortal Kombat 11 will fix grind and progression rewards. It has been specifically indicated that this will come by way of balancing changes to the title's Tower of Times game mode and adjustments to the Krypt's economy. Exact details on this are set to be revealed later today.

As such, players may wish to hear the specifics of NetherRealm's plan before they act on this Mortal Kombat 11 discount. While Amazon's sale does not have an official end time, it seems relatively safe to assume that it will not be before the end of day.

The hype leading up to the Mortal Kombat 11 release date was serious, with a myriad of leaks further fueling fans' excitement about the title. The unfortunate state of the game at launch may have some players wary of purchasing the game, and sending their favorite Mortal Kombat 11 characters into battle, but hopefully, dramatic improvements are in the immediate future.

Mortal Kombat 11 is out now for PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
