Mortal Kombat 11/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Author's Saving Throw:
    • Mileena, who was sorely missed, was released for Kombat Pack 2.
    • Friendships from the earliest games return in the Aftermath Pack.
    • The Aftermath Pack gives the characters from Kombat Pack 1 their own story mode.
    • Three skins based on the beloved 1995 film with the actors' likenesses and voices were made for Johnny Cage, Raiden and Sonya Blade. Sonya gets special mention since Bridgette Wilson did better voice acting than Rhonda Rousey.
  • Critical Research Failure: Kronika's name is likely a reference to Chronos, the personification of time in pre-Socratic philosophy, but is not a titan. The developers clearly made the all-too common recurring historical and philosophical mistake of confusing Chronos with Cronus
  • Memetic Mutation: This game is deeply associated with "Core Values" meme that emerged after the organizers of EVO Japan 2019 censored their stream because of a Dead or Alive 6 promotion segment that they considered to be not part of their or the FGC's "core values". People soon mocked the Hypocrisy of EVO to censor sexual content and jokes while allowing extremely violent games like this one to be streamed uncensored, using Baraka's "Face Off" fatality in special.
  • The Other Darrin: Arnold Schwarzenegger didn't return to voice the Terminator, with Chris Cox (a soundalike) in his place.
  • The Unexpected: Fans did expect Spawn to be a guest fighter but they didn't expect four more guests to be in the game.
  • Win Back the Crowd: The KP2 announcement trailer made Mileena fans so happy.
  • WTH Casting: Rhonda Rousey had a flat voice for Sonya Blade, not to mention that Bridgette Wilson returned to voice a skin for Sonya and had better direction.
