Mortal Kombat ‘Balance’ Update released

By on May 23, 2011
If you are one of those that were disheartened by Mortal Kombat’s inbalance issues, get ready to re-enter the bloody and violent tournament as NetherRealm Studios has updated your beloved fighting game. Moreoever, you won’t have to download anything, as the company has previously stated that they can tweak the game without having players download any update. Which is great to say the least. This new update contains crucial balance tweaks and you can view the entire changelist after the jump. NetherRealm Studios has also stated that a new update will be released along with the Skarlet DLC, so stay tuned for more.
