Mortal Kombat X[b] is a 2015fighting game developed byNetherRealm Studios and published byWarner Bros. Interactive Entertainment forMicrosoft Windows,PlayStation 4, andXbox One. It is the tenth main installment in theMortal Kombat franchise and a sequel toMortal Kombat (2011), taking place 25 years later after the events of its predecessor.High Voltage Software developed the Windows version of the game, with Polish studio QLOC taking over the work on it shortly after the release of Kombat Pack 1.
Like previousMortal Kombat games,Mortal Kombat X's gameplay consists of two players, or one player and the CPU, fighting against each other with their selected character, using a large, varied array of character-specific attacks. The game contains several modes, such as a story mode, which mainly takes place twenty-five years after the previousMortal Kombat game, several 'Tower' modes, which feature dynamically changing challenges, numerous online modes, and the 'Krypt', a mode played in afirst person perspective, where players explore the areas unlocking a variety of in-game items.
An upgraded version ofMortal Kombat X, titledMortal Kombat XL,[c] was released on March 1, 2016, forPlayStation 4 andXbox One, including all downloadable content characters from the two released Kombat Packs, almost all bonus alternate costumes available at the time of release, improved gameplay, and improved netcode. This edition was also released forWindows on October 4, 2016. A sequel,Mortal Kombat 11, was released on April 23, 2019, forNintendo Switch,PlayStation 4,Windows, andXbox One.
The console versions ofMortal Kombat X received critical acclaim upon release. Most praise was directed at the game's controls, overall gameplay, graphics, story, and characters, with some reviewers calling it the best game in theMortal Kombat series. However, the game's PC version was met with mixed reception, with reviewers citing numerous technical issues (including frequent crashes and slow netcode) as problems that severely hindered the experience. Selling more than 10 million copies, the game was the fastest-selling game in the franchise and the ninth best-selling retail game of 2015 in the United States.[3]
Mortal Kombat X is afighting game in which two characters fight against each other using a variety of attacks, including special moves, and the series' trademark gruesome finishing moves,Fatalities. The game allows two players to face each other (either locally or online), or a single player to play against the CPU. The energy meter, first introduced inMortal Kombat (2011), allows players to perform techniques such as "X-Ray" special moves. Similarly toNetherRealm Studios' previous title,Injustice: Gods Among Us, fighters are able to interact with the environment, using parts of the scenery to reposition themselves or using available objects as weapons.[4] In addition, each fighter has three different variations, each featuring a different set of moves they can use during the fight: for example, the characterScorpion features aNinjutsu variation which gives him specific moves utilizing dual swords, a Hellfire variation which incorporates fiery special moves, and an Inferno variation which allows him to summon hellspawn minions to aid him in the fight.[5]
Returning fromthe previousMortal Kombat game is the Energy Meter, which is divided in three sections, and provides access to enhanced special moves (costing one section), breaking combos (costing two sections) and performing X-ray moves (costing all three sections of the bar).[6] Additionally, a Stamina Meter has been added under the health bar, which consists of two sections, and is consumed whenever the player runs, performs a back dash, a combo breaker, a stage interaction, or certain special techniques, such as cancelling Scorpion's teleports.[7]
In addition to the usualFatalities,Mortal Kombat X features two new types of finishing moves: Quitality, which instantly kills the player's character if theyrage quit during a multiplayer match;[8] andFaction Kills, a set of finishing moves available to players based on the selection of one of the game's five factions (Black Dragon, Brotherhood of Shadow, Lin Kuei, Special Forces, and White Lotus).Brutality finishing moves make a comeback, although different from the ones featured inUltimate Mortal Kombat 3. Brutalities now take the form of certain moves that are triggered when said move is used as the final blow to win the final round in a fight, killing the opponent, provided certain conditions are met.[9] In addition, the game features stage Brutalities, which are triggered when certain environment interactions are used to finish the opponent. Additionally,stage Fatalities were reinstated inMortal Kombat XL, being available in three of the game's stages.[10][11]
For local single-player, the game offers Story mode, a plot-driven mode with cutscenes between fights; and Living Towers, an evolved form ofMortal Kombat's Challenge Tower where the play conditions change. Also locally, player vs. player mode is available. Playing online, the play modes include 1 vs. 1 (ranked or random), King of the Hill, Survivor, and Test Your Luck. Another new mode is Faction Wars, where players choose one from the five factions to align with, and join a persistent onlinecross-platform competition with others, winning points for their faction, contributing in the conflict between them, ranking up personally, and earning special rewards such as faction-specific finishing moves (one of which is unlocked to the player if their faction wins at the end of any given week).[12][13]
Two years afterthe defeat of Outworld's ruler,Shao Kahn,Shinnok attacks Earthrealm with his army of Netherrealm demons, as well as Earthrealm warriors who were killed during Kahn's invasion and are now resurrected as revenants underQuan Chi's control. After fighting their fallen comrades, a strike team led byJohnny Cage,Sonya Blade, andKenshi open a portal to Raiden's Sky Temple and head to the Jinsei Chamber, the source of Earthrealm's life force, whereRaiden andFujin are seen battling Shinnok and his Netherrealm forces. When Shinnok tries to kill Sonya, Johnny rushes to defend her, inadvertently awakening ancient superhuman powers within himself. Using his newfound powers, Johnny holds Shinnok at bay long enough for Raiden to steal Shinnok's amulet and imprison him inside it, but Quan Chi escapes. Johnny, Raiden, and Sonya track him to his lair in the Netherrealm and defeat him, successfully restoringScorpion,Sub-Zero, andJax to human form in the process after Quan Chi's failed attempt to turn Cage into a revenant, though the former escapes again. In the years that follow, Johnny and Sonya marry and have a daughter,Cassie, though they later divorced. Scorpion, now using his original name,Hanzo Hasashi, rebuilds his Shirai Ryu clan while mentoring Kenshi's sonTakeda, and Sub-Zero becomes the new Grandmaster of the Lin Kuei after killingSektor. Sub-Zero uses the data from Sektor's memory banks detailing Quan Chi's various manipulations of the Lin Kuei, including the truth about the deaths of Hasashi's wife and son, to help end his feud with Hasashi.
Twenty years after Shinnok's defeat, Johnny assembles a new team of young fighters composed of Cassie, Takeda,Jacqui, andKung Lao's younger cousin (later retconned as his nephew)Kung Jin. After undergoing a training exercise with Sub-Zero, they are deployed to Outworld to resolve a civil war between former empressMileena, who has obtained Shinnok's amulet fromKano, and Outworld's current emperorKotal Kahn, with whom Earthrealm has a fragile peace treaty. Meanwhile, in an Outworld refugee camp in Earthrealm, Sonya captures Kano and forces him to reveal Mileena's location. Using this information, Cassie's team aids Kotal in recovering Shinnok's amulet and capturingMileena, who is subsequently executed on Kotal's orders. No longer believing Earthrealm capable of keeping the amulet safe,Kotal decides to keep it in Outworld's hands and takes Cassie and her friends hostage as leverage against Raiden. Kotal's insectoid second-in-commandD'Vorah, who had killedBaraka when Kotal started his rule, is revealed as a double agent for Quan Chi and steals the amulet. Cassie and her team escape captivity and inform Earthrealm of D'Vorah's intentions.
Hoping to stop Quan Chi from getting the amulet, Jax and Kenshi, aided by a Netherrealm local namedSareena, lead an assault on the Netherrealm. After fighting his way through the revenants of his former allies, Jax captures a weakened Quan Chi, who is brought to Earthrealm and held at an Outworld refugee camp. Hasashi infiltrates the refugee camp alongside his clan with the intent of assassinating Quan Chi as revenge for ruining his life, defeating Kenshi, Johnny, and Sonya in the process. As Hasashi prepares to kill Quan Chi, D'Vorah arrives with the amulet. Quan Chi manages to finish his spell moments before being beheaded by Hasashi, releasing Shinnok from captivity. Weakened by the Shirai Ryu's previous attack, Johnny is taken hostage by Shinnok and D'Vorah. With the aid of Quan Chi's revenants, Shinnok and D'Vorah assault the Sky Temple, and subdue Raiden andBo' Rai Cho in the process. Shinnok then enters the Jinsei and corrupts it, transforming himself into a powerful demon in the process.
Cassie's team pursues Shinnok, only to be intercepted by Kotal Kahn and his army. They inform him of Shinnok's return and Kotal decides to kill them, hoping to appease Shinnok and buy time to bolster Outworld's defenses, but Sub-Zero and his Lin Kuei warriors appear just in time to repel the Outworld forces. At the Sky Temple, Jacqui and Takeda occupy the revenants, while Cassie and Jin enter the Jinsei chamber. When D'Vorah begins torturing Johnny, Cassie manifests powers similar to her father's, which she uses to defeat Shinnok. A grievously wounded Raiden then purifies the Jinsei, stripping Shinnok of his powers and forcing the revenants to withdraw. Sonya and her soldiers arrive to take Shinnok and D'Vorah away, and the Cage family reunites.
Sometime later, Raiden, now in possession of Shinnok's amulet and corrupted in the process of purifying the Jinsei, issues a warning to the revenantsLiu Kang andKitana, now rulers of the Netherrealm, that they will face"fates worse than death" if they threaten Earthrealm. Raiden leaves behind Shinnok's severed, but still living head as a final warning before departing.

NetherRealm Studios began publicly hiring for theeighth generation development in April 2012.[21] In July 2013, it was confirmed that a newMortal Kombat game was in development and was said to be released alongside the film series' reboot in September 2011.[22][23][24] In February 2014, actorKiefer Sutherland claimed he was participating in this "huge game" in an unidentified role.[25] The following June, Sutherland's involvement was denied by series co-creatorEd Boon. According to the resume ofKaren Strassman, who voiced Kitana and Mileena in 2011'sMortal Kombat, the game's working title wasMortal Kombat 2.[26][27] The game's poster was leaked and an updated version of the series' iconic dragon logo was revealed on May 28, 2014. Boon posted daily riddles on hisTwitter account that constituted a countdown suggesting a June 2 announcement date,[28][29] hinting at the game's title beingMortal Kombat X.[30][31] One of the Twitter clues left by Boon teasing this title was the image of aLincoln MKX emblem posted with the comment, "I wonder what the X stands for?"[32]
On June 2, 2014, the title was indeed officially revealed asMortal Kombat X, alongside an official reveal trailer featuring a fight between the iconic charactersScorpion and Sub-Zero, and an original song called "Can't Be Stopped" performed by artistWiz Khalifa.[33] The game made its first public appearance atE3 2014,[34] starting on June 10, 2014, where four new characters were revealed, apart from the two already revealed by the trailer.[35] With over eleven million views, it was the third-highest viewed trailer onYouTube in the second quarter of 2014.[36] NetherRealm Studios said they are only working on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of the game.[5] The game, which runs at 1080p screen resolution and 60 FPS,[1] has been said to feature the most brutal finishing moves in the series. Boon said: "We have these meetings and everyone comes up with ideas forFatalities. The ones that people say 'there's no way we can do that'—they're the first ones we work on."[37]
By July 2015, due to heavy criticism for the porting issues that plagued the PC release of the game, almost all references toMortal Kombat X had been removed from High Voltage Software'sFacebook page.[38] It was later revealed that work on the PC port had been handed over to Polish developers QLOC. On August 28, 2015, Warner Bros. announced the cancellation of thePlayStation 3 andXbox 360 ports (originally scheduled for release at a later unspecified date) ofMortal Kombat X due to the inability to get the version for the last gen consoles to reach the quality standards set by the current generation.[39] NetherRealm Studios community specialist Tyler Lansdown initially stated that Kombat Pack 2,Mortal Kombat XL, and the enhanced online netcode would not be available on the PC version.[40] However, on August 25, 2016, an open beta test period of the online functionality ofXL was announced for the PC,[41] and ultimately a release date was set for October 4, 2016.[42]
Prior to the game's release,DC Comics published a comic book series based on the game, with the first issue released on January 6, 2015.[43] The debut trailer and opening cinematic features an original track byWiz Khalifa titled "Can't Be Stopped".[44] The official television commercial and launch trailer for the game were directed bySystem of a Down memberShavo Odadjian and featured the band's 2001 track "Chop Suey!".[45][46] TheMortal Kombat X logo was featured onNASCAR driverErik Jones' #20Xfinity Series car (sponsored byGameStop) that won theO'Reilly Auto Parts 300 on April 10, 2015.[47]Mortal Kombat X has been used ineSports competitions, with international tournaments in Europe, Asia, and North America with $1,000 weekly tournament prizes starting on April 19, 2015, with a season final on July 11, 2015, worth at least $100,000.[48] The ESL Pro League Season 1 Finals were won by Critical Reaction's Dominique "Sonic Fox" McLean using Kitana with Erron Black as a secondary. McLean earned a grand total of $60,000 from the Season 1 Finals.[49] Season Two of the ESL Pro League forMortal Kombat X began on October 18, 2015, and concluded in early 2016.[50]
Mortal Kombat X was released worldwide (except Germany) for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on April 14, 2015. For reasons relating to the initial refusal by the GermanUSK to issue the game with an age rating, the official German release ofMortal Kombat X was delayed until September 1, 2015. The game'sKollector's Edition includes a figurine of Scorpion and the Gold Scorpion skin, as well as future access to Kombat Pack 1.[51] Simultaneously with the release of Kombat Pack 2 andMortal Kombat XL, the game received a free major update that introduced balance changes, one new stage ("The Pit"), several stage brutalities, and rollback-basednetcode similar toGGPO.[52]
Before the game's launch,Goro was offered as a pre-order bonus. Later on, upon the game's release, he was also made available for purchase.[53]
The game has also received numerousdownloadable content (DLC) packages, containing skin packs and occasionally new characters, such as the Ultimate Horror Pack, which includes Jason and horror-themed skins for Ermac, Reptile and Mileena; or the Predator/Prey Pack, which includes Predator and Predator-themed skins for Johnny Cage, Scorpion and a skin for Jax with the likeness and voice of actorCarl Weathers from the firstPredator film.
On March 13, 2015,Jason Voorhees from theFriday the 13th franchise was announced as the first downloadable bonus character in the downloadable Kombat Pack season-pass bundle.[54][55] One week later,Predator, fromthe eponymous franchise, was revealed as the second DLC guest character after he was inadvertently leaked by theXbox Games Store,[56] with Tremor fromMortal Kombat: Special Forces and Tanya fromMortal Kombat 4 later rounding out the cast of the Kombat Pack.[57] Ultimately, the pack was revealed to include all of the content in the Samurai Pack, Ultimate Horror Pack, Klassic Pack #1, Predator/Prey Pack and Klassic Pack #2.[58] theTerminator fromthe eponymous franchise andMichael Myers from theHalloween franchise were considered at one point.[59]

Kombat Pack 2 also makes Goro playable for those who did not have him as a pre-order bonus, and includes Kold War Scorpion, Kold War Pack, Apocalypse Pack and Klassic Fatalities #1 and #2. Kombat Pack 2 was ultimately announced for release on March 1, 2016, only on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, marking the beginning of a period where theWindows port was left aside for any updates and new DLC releases. Eventually it was released on PC on October 4, 2016, along with the PC release ofMortal Kombat XL.[61]
On January 20, 2016, coinciding with the official announcement of Kombat Pack 2, NetherRealm Studios announced a new release of the game, calledMortal Kombat XL to be released simultaneously with said Kombat Pack, which would include all previously released downloadable content up to Kombat Pack 2.Mortal Kombat XL was then released for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 on March 1, 2016, in North America, and March 4, 2016, in Europe.[62][63]
With the PC having been left behind after Kombat Pack 1, in August 2016 Ed Boon ran a poll on Twitter, which resulted in 45% of 10,000 voters saying they wantedMortal Kombat XL for PC. After it ended, he posted the results, suggesting they would be acted upon.[64] Shortly after, an online-only beta was officially released on August 25, 2016, as a free-to-play title onSteam in order to test the enhanced netcode, which lasted through September 1, 2016.[65] As soon as the beta ended, it was announced thatMortal Kombat XL (both as a full game for purchase, and as an update forMortal Kombat X owners) would become available alongside the Kombat Pack 2 DLC on October 4, 2016, along with the updates that would bring the PC port back to parity with its console counterparts.[66] As revealed by the game's updated intro credits, the porting ofXL to the PC was handled by QLOC, in opposition to the previous problematic releases, by High Voltage Software. Coinciding with the release of XL for PC, an XL Pack was announced for existing owners of the game, which provides all of the previously existing DLC in a single package. Also coinciding with the release of the PC port ofMortal Kombat XL was a balance patch affecting most of the 33 characters in the roster in all three of the game's platforms.[67]

Aggregating review websiteMetacritic gave the Xbox One version 86/100 based on 21 reviews,[75] the PlayStation 4 version 83/100 based on 81 reviews,[76] and the Windows version 76/100 based on 10 reviews.[77] It became the fastest selling game in the history of theMortal Kombat series and topped the US[97] and UK[98] PlayStation 4 sales charts in the month of release.
Brian Shea ofGame Informer calledMortal Kombat X "more than the continuation of NetherRealm's successful vision for the franchise; it's one of the best fighting games in years", adding that the core gameplay was complex and varied while he enjoyed the multiplayer options.[82]GameSpot's Peter Brown enjoyed the overall gameplay, saying it had "the best fighting mechanics of any game in the series" but was critical of the downloadable content as "there's so much to love about the newMortal Kombat that it's a shame to see such blatantmonetization practices overlap with your experience".[84] Lucas Sullivan ofGamesRadar described the story mode as "ceaselessly entertaining", having "great voice-acting and a surprisingly enjoyable script", and "a pretty tough act to follow", criticizing the other single-player modes outside of the main story, and "sparse" tutorial options.[85]
Destructoid's Chris Carter scored the game an 8 out of 10 and called it "one of the biggest fighting games of 2015". Carter felt that as more characters are added via DLC, the game will get better over time.[80]VideoGamer.com's Brett Phipps gave the game an 8/10 and called it "absurd, gruesome ridiculous fun". Phipps mostly praised the story, character gameplay variety, and gore, but was annoyed by online "hiccups".[91] Nick Tan fromGame Revolution commended the gameplay, particularly complimenting the character variations, environmental attacks,Brutalities, the Krypt, and the Tower system. Tan also liked the overall presentation and the story's concept, but missed Stage Fatalities and tag-team matches, disliked the story's ending, and felt that the game was purposefully "truncated".[83]
Michael Huber ofGameTrailers called it a "superb entry in the franchise", noting the gameplay, story mode and new online components.[86] Vince Ingenito ofIGN gave it a score of 8.4. He claimed thatMortal Kombat X was the bestMortal Kombat game in the franchise's history, lauding it as deeper, mechanically richer and more fully featured than the previousMortal Kombat games. He also praised the presence of the new characters as the major roster shakeup made the game feel new and exciting to longtime series fans and casual fans.[88] Michael McWhertor ofPolygon called the game "one of the best fighting games in the series", praising the gameplay in addition to the newer systems in place and overall presentation.[90] Stephen Kleckner ofVentureBeat was more critical of the game, citing in his opinion confusing move animations, a system favoring close range mid-to-high combos, having to use the block button to execute a run, poor online play, and easy Fatality DLC. He also mentioned an issue where save data would be erased due to a bug in the PC version.[92] Matt Elliott ofPC Gamer had mixed feelings about the online gameplay and said that "Mortal Kombat online simply isn't sturdy enough to remain competitive".[89]
In March 2019, Warner Bros. confirmed thatMortal Kombat X had sold more than 12 million copies worldwide by then.[99] It was the fastest-selling game in the franchise and was the ninth-best-selling retail game of 2015 in the United States.[100][101] The first-month sales of the game is higher than the first-month sales of every game released in April 2016.[102]
