Mortal Kombat 11 is the latest entry in a renowned franchise<\/a> that has spanned decades. The game features a sizable roster with (literally) bone-crushing combos, a solid single-player story mode, and a continuously burgeoning multiplayer scene. Like many of the other NetherRealm titles that have come before it, Mortal Kombat 11 has reached an impressive milestone; it’s surpassed 12 million copies sold worldwide.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

According to an emailed press release, NetherRealm Studios Creative Director Ed Boon expressed heartfelt words after learning about\u00a0Mortal Kombat 11\u2019s latest achievement. \u201cWhen Mortal Kombat launched nearly 30 years ago, I never dreamed it would grow into the franchise it is today with more than 73 million games sold,\u201d Boon said. \u201cWe have some of the most passionate fans in the world, and we appreciate the support they have shown us over the years.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not particularly surprising that Mortal Kombat 11 has found this level of incredible success. After all, the franchise is one of the industry\u2019s biggest video game dynasties \u2013 even Mortal Kombat Mobile has over 100 million installs! \u2013 that has spawned many television shows, animated movies, and live-action films, including the latest one that Brian Shea reviewed<\/a>. However, additional content updates have stopped now that NetherRealm is moving to its next project<\/a>. What the next chapter in the Mortal Kombat franchise will look and play like remains to be seen, but based on how beloved the IP is to millions of fans around the globe, it\u2019ll likely be another well-earned success story for Ed Boon and co.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Andrew Reiner enjoyed his time with Mortal Kombat 11 despite some loot problems, concluding his review<\/a> by stating, \u201cMortal Kombat 11 may have loot issues, but the combat has never been more rewarding. You can finish the entertaining story mode in one sitting, but getting the gear for the character you want could end up being more of a time-stealing tale than the one the game tells.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Mortal Kombat 11 is available on current- and last-gen consoles as well as Switch, Stadia, and PC. Mortal Kombat 11\u00a0Ultimate is a more expanded version of the game that launched towards the end of last year; be sure to play that for the complete experience.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

What do you hope to see in Mortal Kombat 12? Or, more broadly, what do you hope to see in NetherRealm Studios\u2019 future games?<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
