Earlier today, Warner Bros. and NetherRealm announced that Mortal Kombat 11 will not only be receiving a new DLC pack with three additional characters, including Rambo, but an ultimate edition is coming out for current-gen and next-gen platforms.
Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate is set to release next month and fans won't have to wait long for pre-orders to become available. As such, Warner Bros. and NetherRealm have already detailed how pre-orders for both the ultimate edition and second DLC pack will work and what sort of bonuses are on offer.
Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate pre-orders will become available next week from October 15th for $59.99. Doing so will provide immediate access to the base game, as well as the first DLC pack and the Aftermath story expansion, which comes with its associated DLC characters: Fujin, Sheeva, and Robocop.
For anyone who already owns Mortal Kombat 11, they can upgrade to Ultimate by purchasing Kombat Pack 2, which comes with the three new characters - Rain, Mileena, and Rambo. It can also be pre-ordered from October 15th for $14.99. Regardless of which one fans pre-order, either one will entitle them to a Time Warriors Skin Pack at launch. The pack consists of three skins: Dark Web for Noob Saibot, HCF (Halt and Catch Fire) for Lui Kang, and Blood Moon for Skarlet.
It has been noted that Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate will only be available digitally for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 when it launches. A physical PS4 release will come out in the Americas in January 2021. The Nintendo Switch version will also only release digitally in the Americas, while the PC and Stadia versions will be digital-only worldwide.
As a reminder, anyone who owns the game on PS4 or Xbox One will be able to access a free upgrade to the respective PS5 and Xbox Series X versions, which will have next-gen upgrades like enhanced visuals and improved loading times.
Warner Bros. gaming line-up continues to look rather impressive as, aside from this update, it still has two hotly anticipated DC titles - Gotham Knights and Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League - in development, and the Harry Potter action-RPG Hogwarts Legacy.
In terms of DC games, though, many are still hopeful for an Injustice 3 announcement at some point in the future, especially with development on Mortal Kombat 11 appearing to wind down (assuming there's no more DLC planned). So far, there isn't any real news about the sequel, aside from one rumor from August that characters from Watchmen will make an appearance.
Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate will release on November 17th for Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Stadia, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S.
