Key Takeaways
- A new Mortal Kombat 1 update fixes numerous issues with the game and makes a few tweaks to characters as well.
- In one of the bigger changes, Invasions Mode also now awards Points for completing Towers, giving players more incentive to play through them.

As a long-time veteran of the Mortal Kombat universe, I must say that the October 2024 update for Mortal Kombat 1 has certainly brought a breath of fresh air to my gaming sessions. The UI and visual issues plaguing the Switch and PC versions have finally been addressed, and the tweaks to characters like Sub-Zero and Kung Lao are a welcome addition to my roster.
In October 2024, NetherRealm Studios rolled out an update for Mortal Kombat 1, tackling various game issues and focusing on several characters in particular. The month of September saw a significant surge for Mortal Kombat 1 as the much-anticipated Khaos Reigns expansion was launched, reintroducing fan favorites like Noob Saibot, Cyrax, and Sektor, while further unfolding the narrative with a fresh campaign.
In addition to the paid upgrade, players also received a complimentary update for Mortal Kombat 1. This update reintroduced Animalities, where characters transform into animals before brutally defeating their opponents in distinctive manners via fatalities. Interestingly, neither the expansion nor the update introduces new Kameo fighters; instead, they refine the existing roster and introduce fresh moves for certain characters. For instance, Sub-Zero now has Deep Freeze and Iceball Special abilities, while Kung Lao can use Orbiting Hat and Wobbly Hat. Regardless of this, NetherRealm Studios continues to show commitment to Mortal Kombat 1, as demonstrated by the recent game update.
The update specifically fixes a variety of UI and visual issues across the PC and Switch versions, while also making undisclosed AI adjustments and improvements to all platforms. Mortal Kombat 1‘s single player Invasions Mode also received a few fixes and key updates as well, including now showing Towers of Time challenges from the pause menu. However, one change that most players seem excited about is that finishing Towers now awards Points in addition to completing Challenges. Essentially, points can be used to upgrade character stats, investing in things like Health, Attack, Special, Defense, and Agility to become stronger in the Invasions game mode.
In this update for Mortal Kombat 1, characters from the Khaos Reigns roster received adjustments, even though it wasn’t a full balance overhaul. Specifically, Sektor and Cyrax had visual issues during finishers on certain map areas rectified. For instance, Noob Saibot no longer employs Exocism when the Ghostball is reflected, and an issue with the Uppercut Jump Cancel has been addressed. Similarly, Kenshi and Kano received fixes for their Uppercut Jump Cancel, while Kano’s Kameo fighter now automatically blocks after using Eye Laser.
The response to the recent update appears generally favorable, but several users took advantage of the occasion to suggest improvements or new features they’d like to see in the future. A few players also reported a synchronization issue with the PC version of the game, and some expressed disappointment about the absence of updates regarding new features. One topic that has been widely discussed is the potential Online Lobby system for Mortal Kombat 1, although NetherRealm Studios has not yet confirmed this feature. However, numerous leaks and data mining hint at these highly anticipated features being developed for release at some point in the future.
