This is a perfect example of how much this studio loves its fans and product. To my recollection, there are no other game studios out there that would charge a base price for a game that has this much content. I’m no economist, but if I was I would say that could probably be somewhere around $250 dollars worth of content and the game is still only priced at $59.99. You also get roughly around 30 to 40 cosmetic skins to customize your characters to their fullest potential! This game includes the base version of MK11 with 37 playable characters, two Kombat Packs with nine additional characters, and the Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath expansion that comes with a new story DLC and three more additional characters to the game. First and foremost, the Ultimate Edition comes as a free upgrade to anyone that already owns Mortal Kombat 11 on previous consoles, but if you don’t you are still in for one hell of a deal. Now, let’s talk about Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate Edition and how amazing it is on the Playstation 5. Just think about this for a second, the game as a franchise has been around for a total of twenty-nine years! This is an incredible feat for any game studio, especially one that has always been hounded on by the media for being “far too violent”. I could probably go on all day about Ed Boon and his team at NetherRealm Studios and their constant work on this game franchise. Also, the fact that the one and only Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa reprised his role as Shang Sung really made the game feel that much closer to the 1995 film. You can see my full thoughts on the story in my original MK11 Aftermath Review. The story expansion was nothing but a wonderful, cinematic experience that will go down as one of the best DLC story add-ons of all time. After a deep discussion, Liu Kang and Raiden decide to help the group fix the timeline and save the realm from utter destruction. Just when things are starting to really look up for the duo the unexpected Trio of Fujin, Nightwolf, and Shang Tsung appear before the two heroes, warning them of things to come. Liu Kang, with the help of Raiden, has now taken the mantle of the FIRE GOD and is Earth Realms ‘ new protector.Īfter defeating Kronika, he is also the new Master of Time and has many plans for Earth Realm in this new timeline. (SPOILERS) The story of Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath takes place directly after the events of Mortal Kombat 11’s original story. Though I did have my doubt originally of what we were getting in this expansion, it is exactly what we all knew it would be, a great addition to the already amazing experience that was Mortal Kombat 11. To my surprise, only a few months later we received word that the Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath Expansion was going to be released, including the first-ever story expansion and characters like Fujin, RoboCop, and Sheeva, as well as more cosmetic skins for the roster added to the game. I also stated that not only did this game deliver an amazing fighting experience, breathtaking story mode, and a crazy updated Krypt…they did right by fans and fixed in-game issues very quickly and I still stand by what I said. In my original review, I had stated that my time with Mortal Kombat 11 was something really special and I didn’t plan on putting the game down for some time. This is the third time I have had the opportunity to review Mortal Kombat 11 since 2019 and this game is still getting better every few months. Now that we have made our jump to the next generation of consoles, what does Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate have to offer us that the previously released version didn’t? Let’s dive in and find out… This game has always had a close place to my heart and over the years it has become the best fighting game on the market. There was nothing better than taking turns trying to beat Shao Kaun, or even taking turns battling each other. So many times, my brothers and I would sit in our room, hours on end, and play Mortal Kombat 3 on the Super Nintendo. This game means so much to me and has always brought back great bloody memories from my childhood.

I have been a fan of the Mortal Kombat franchise for a long time.
