Mortal Kombat 11 1.25 Update Patch Notes | MK11 Ultimate and balance changes

At long last, the Mortal Kombat 11 1.25 update patch notes are here to welcome in MK11 Ultimate just before its official launch. These are the most extensive notes the game has had since Aftermath’s launch in May, and not only update the roster to include Mileena, Rain, and Rambo (check out their Fatality inputs here, here, and here), but also contain a ton of balance changes. Here’s what in the MK11 1.25 patch notes.

Mortal Kombat 11 1.25 Update Patch Notes | MK11 Ultimate and balance changes

While Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate isn’t out until November 17, this new patch primes the game for the new content. This means that Mileena, Rain, and Rambo’s files are in the game as of now, but the character pack will cost $15.

This also helps the game with its next-gen support. The game will have cross-progression as well as cross-play between some of the versions. Those PS5 and Xbox Series X ports will also officially come out on November 17 and will be a free upgrade for current owners.

Mortal Kombat 11 1.25 Update Patch Notes | Balance changes

This update also finally comes with a ton of balance changes, the most important of which being that custom moves are now allowed in competitive play. Players can pick the old variations if they want, but will now have the opportunity to make their own fighter with that character’s available moves. Some moves are banned like RoboCop’s Trick Shot and Terminator’s Exoskeleton move, but most of the game’s moves have transferred over. Some of them have different properties, however, like Kitana’s Edenian Razors.

Pokes and Fatal Blows have also been tweaked, but the exact data on that is still unknown. Fatal Blows will have less pushback and will be easier to flawless block and a ton of pokes have been retooled to be less mashy.
