Today, NetherRealm Studios and WB Interactive Entertainment revealedMortal Kombat 11: Aftermath, an expansion to the popular fighting game.
As you can see from the trailer below,Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermathwill include a plethora of new content. Fujin, Sheeva, and RoboCop (voiced by actor Peter Weller) will be added as playable fighters. It will also feature a brand new story that expands the base game’s tale. You will need to purchase the expansion to access this content.
AllMortal Kombat 11owners will have access to a few new features being added alongside the upcoming expansion. This includes new Stages (Dead Pool and Soul Chamber), Stage Fatalities, and Friendships (which you can see at the end of the video below). These features will be applied as a free update and will not require you to purchase the expansion.
“Our fans have really enjoyed the story campaign inMortal Kombat, and we’re happy to continue the narrative and add new characters to the roster withMortal Kombat 11: Aftermath,” said Ed Boon, Creative Director at NetherRealm Studios. “In addition, Friendships and Stage Fatalities are being added as part of the free content update for allMortal Kombat 11players. Both are fan-favorite features that we’re excited to finally bring back to the franchise.”

Personally, I am super stoked for theMortal Kombat 11: Aftermathexpansion. The story looks to be a great extension from the ridiculous tale of the base game. The new character additions, RoboCop in particular, are awesome. Everything about this makes me want to come back toone of my favorite fighting games of the generation.
