Mortal Kombat X is the latest Mortal Kombat title released by NetherRealm and given the graphics quality and the brutality of the game, along with the new characters that they’ve introduced, it didn’t really come as a surprise to learn that the game has done pretty well for itself.This was confirmed by NetherRealm head Ed Boon who in a series of tweets wrote, “Thank you everyone for making Mortal Kombat X the biggest launch in MK history. You made the game FAR exceed our wildest expectations. The mobile and console games have had literally millions of players getting online in a really short period of time, hitting our servers hard.”
This is despite the fact that the game did face some issues at launch, especially for PC gamers, but then again these issues are to be expected especially when you release a game that many gamers have been waiting for. Boon also acknowledged there were some problems with the game that they are working on fixing. “We love that so many players want to play MKX and are working (like mad) on all the issues some of you are experiencing! We WILL fix them!”
The game has been hit with a bit of controversy lately as a UFC fighter claimed that they had used her likeness without permission, but for now it does not look like she will be pursuing any legal action. The game was released earlier this week on the PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 with the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions delayed to summer.
