​

NetherRealm’s genre-defining Story Mode returns with an immersive cinematic narrative featuring unexpected twists on classic rivalries and original backstories for a wide-ranging cast of legendary fighters, including Liu Kang, Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Raiden, Kung Lao, Kitana, Mileena, Shang Tsung, Johnny Cage, and many others. Mortal Kombat 1 will also introduce Kameo Fighters, a unique roster of partner characters that can assist during matches, creating expanded gameplay possibilities for players.​

​

NEW MECHANICS

• Kameo - MK1 introduces "Kameo fighters", which can be called in for assists and combo extenders, breakers, etc. Some Kameo fighters are part of the main roster of the game.
• Aerial Kombat returns from MK: Armageddon; each character has strings that can only be used on a airborne opponent

 

So I ve taken the physical edition, thinking it will be quicker to install the game. Just 1 hour.

Then the day 1 patch came...87 gb to download on Xbox. 6 to 7 hours to complete it. So physical version is useless.

I hate so much that practice.

I bought digital and pre-installed this past Saturday. 141 GB on Xbox Series X. The patch today, well, it appeared to be only the license for the Sub-Zero and Tanya skins.

I suspect you're downloading a lot of the 4K content?

Just the story and Invasion when I installed with the cd. Didn't had the choice with the the update : /

86+87, 173 gb. No that far from your 141 actually. If only I would have known before... I will just wait 2-3 days before playing.

I kind was expecting something to turn bad. Having the physical version on time was too good to be true.

 

Kinda of random I guess but does anyone know how to get the neatherstone for the fenjing village in invasions?
