New ‘Mortal Kombat 11’ Patch Introduces New Fixes Ahead of DLC; ‘Terminator’ Accidentally Leaked as Next Character?
Ahead of the first DLC for Mortal Kombat 11, Netherrealm studios have released patch notes that not only introduces new fixes and adjustments to many characters, it also appears to have added new Brutalities to the game. As well, it accidentally(?!) has made one Brutality completely uncensored.
If you’re not familiar with past Mortal Kombat games, Kabal has had variations on his “Screamer” fatality, where he would remove his mask to reveal his scarred face, screaming at his opponent, who would then die of fright. The current form is now a brutality, which was originally pixelated to obscure his face. Now, however, that pixelation has been removed, resulting in some unintentional hilarity. Props to YouTuber Mr. Alucard for grabbing the footage.
On a more serious note, according to ComicBook.com, someone at Google apparently let slip that the Terminator is an upcoming DLC character for the game.
If you searched “Mortal Kombat Terminator game” into Google last night, you’d be greeted with an ad from Mortal Kombat 11‘s official website, which states that the Terminator is to be added to the roster. It has obviously since been removed, but this feeds into the initial leak that was reported by Nintendo Switch users ahead of the official launch.
If this is true, this would also be the third instance of a crossover with the Terminator franchise this year, as Gears of War 5 revealed at E3 last week that they’ll be bringing the T-800 and Sarah Connor to the game’s multiplayer. The T-800 is also coming to Ghost Recon Breakpoint when that game launches in October.
Mortal Kombat 11 is currently available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch.
Retroware surprised everyone last year with the announcement that they’re working on a throwback beat-’em-up based on the Toxic Crusaders cartoon. Grab your mop and get ready: the side-scrolling beat ’em up game is heading our way later this year.
Toxic Crusaders is now available to preorder on Steam, with the game set for Fall 2024 release. Exact date TBA.
Developer and publisher Retroware has teamed up with Troma Entertainment to bring the characters from the 1991 cartoon “Toxic Crusaders” back, for an all-new, all-action beat ’em up for one to four players.
In the game, “When the evil Dr. Killemoff attacks, only one team of hideously deformed creatures of superhuman size and strength stands between him and his plans for global pollution: the Toxic Crusaders, Earth’s last, greatest and ugliest hope for survival! Battle across seven disgusting levels rendered in vibrant pixel art as you defend Tromaville from hordes of Radiation Rangers, mutated thugs and zombie chickens. The odds might be stacked against you but with awesome powers, a winning personality, and up to four-players on your side, the Smogulan Empire’s days are numbered!
“Choose from seven playable characters, including Toxie, No-Zone, Junkyard, Major Disaster, and Headbanger – plus, for the first time, play as Toxie’s musically “gifted” girlfriend Yvonne, and the mother of all mothers, Mrs. Junko, Toxie’s mom!”
Considering this is set in Tromaville, it’s a safe bet that we’ll see more Troma characters beyond the Crusaders here. Toxic Crusaders will also feature fully voice-acted motion comic cutscenes, featuring voice acting by TeamFourStar, industry veterans, and of course, Troma actors.
Check out the gameplay demo below for a closer look at the Toxic Crusaders in action.
Toxic Crusaders is coming soon to Xbox Series X + S, Playstation 4 + 5, Steam, Nintendo Switch, and the Epic Games Store. But you can wishlist on Steam in the meantime.
