MKX Mobile Adds Shao Kahn Tower, Freddy Krueger

Shao Kahn's Tower Rises and Freddy Krueger Goes Mobile!

Posted at 12/08/2016 09:25 AM EST by

The latest 1.11 update to Mortal Kombat X Mobile is changing up the game with a major new mode, and the addition of a character who fulfills a long requested fan dream match!

Freddy Krueger was a surprise guest fighter in Mortal Kombat (2011) and is finally coming to MKX! You can relieve the nightmare and finally duke it out with classic slasher rival: Jason Voorhees! It's the guest character showdown fans wanted on consoles, but will only get if they pull the nightmare into their portable device through the upcoming Challenge, or pay-to-play early access! Every town has an Elm Street. You're all his children, now!

The update also introduces Shao Kahn's Tower! A 100 rung ladder that challenges your team and allows you to earn Talent Points that will improve your roster through the Talent Tree. With Talent Points you'll be able to increase the impact of your damage, wield a stronger defense, and generally kick even more butt.

Along with Freddy Krueger, fans can look forward to more new additions to the character kard: Bounty Hunter Erron Black and Spec Ops Scorpion are coming to the DIamond and Gold Tiers [pictured above[. Elder God Kenshi will also draw his sword against players in an upcoming challenge!

All this, plus: Daily free kard packs for the holidays, double XP Bonus Events, Klassic Character variations in the Faction Wars Store, and scintillating new equipment -- Blaze's Life Force and The Devastator!

Any chance Mobile content will be released later for PS4 / XBoxOne?

Nope, this is pretty much just exclusive content for the mobile game since production has ceased on MKX. They did, and continuing to do, the same thing with Injustice Mobile with exclusive characters and skins never to be released for the console game.

In fact, I believe Injustice may have just gotten yet another exclusive character for its mobile game in its newest update as well.

- Klassic Sonya Blade and Kold War Sub-Zero challenges have been scrapped entirely due to bugs and glitches on the NRS end. Instead, the kards can now be pulled randomly from the Challenge Packs.

-The Talent Tree has also been added, a brand new upgrade system that allows you to earn Talent Points that upgrade your characters in 3 categories; Offense, Defense and Support.

Spec Ops Scorp isn't a challenge, he'll have his own pack with "a chance" to draw him like Slasher Jason, Relentless Jason & the Klassics used to (honestly, fix one problem...)

Where are you getting info from about Klassic Sonya & Kold War SZ? I know they are available from the packs but NRS really shouldn't just scrap their challenges entirely, they need to fix & put out after the working characters. It's seriously unfair to the people who are free-to-play who didn't get Sonya already.

There are a huge number of bugs that came with this update, people have been banned for no good reason (might be connected w/ no challenge but pulling KSB & KWSZ). Also FW points aren't being given out properly nor are ally points.

Personally i like the Shao Kahn tower but it caused confusion to many people as to how it works, as did the talent tree. This thing needs to GO! It's a fucking terrible idea, i don't like it. Hidden stats, you can't upgrade them all = massive unfairness. Isn't the point supposed to be that you have a balance between you & your opponent?

I am glad they have stuck with their schedule of triborgs. I can get Sektor fused up 2 more times before getting Freddy!!

I want to get into Shao Kahn's Tower.

Seems like a good callback to the classics, I like the aesthetics, but like PickleMendip said, the whole talent thing isn't all that clear. Maybe that will matter more later on.

Any word on what the reward will be, upon clearing the Tower?

No official source on the KWSB and KSB challenges being scrapped but given they have yet again opted out and are giving us brand new characters instead (as well as them being in the packs themselves) a lot of people seem to be in agreement that that pretty much gives away those challenges won't be seeing the light of day. Maybe they will relocate them to the FW store eventually, who knows.

No one knows as yet. What is clear, is the the final 20 challenges or so will be super hard.

As for KSB & KWSZ, i hope they aren't scrapped forever and will have proper challenges to unlock like we were promised. It doesn't matter if it takes a while to fix as long as we get a fair deal.

That realization that NR cares more for the mobile version than console.

Still: Freddy! Fuck yeah!

This is true, but in reality when you think about it, the mobile version (as tame a gaming experience as it is) is really the perfect 'in-between' main installments for fans. It's the cheaper solution for NRS to keep players playing and giving them extra characters that would just be too timely to add into the console game what with balancing, fatalities, ect ect.

Considering how the Injustice mobile game has gone so far, and the fact they've gotten 6 exclusive characters up to this point; Darkseid, Static, Arkham Knight, Reverse Flash, Deadshot and Green Lantern Jessica Cruz, I wouldn't at all be surprised if we end up seeing the likes of some of the revenant characters, maybe even a revenant version of Smoke, and the remaining NPC's (Baraka, Rain and Sindel) show up before MK11 news drops.

For ]{ombat and all the other guys wondering what happens when you beat Shao Kahn's tower...

Spoilers: (Highlight to reveal)
Nothing happens. You are awared 30 souls and the chance to repeat it all over again for more talent points

Another disappointement. Another reason why this game needs to get rid of the f2p formula and add some extra gameplay mode like survival and test you luck.

Ah, better balancing of cards would be appreciated.

It's not exactly free to play. It's freemium. You can play without ever spending money but if you want the best characters & best odds at winning, you have to buy souls. And it really sucks but it's good that there is the option to spend no real cash (and just grind, grind, grind instead).

Honestly the character balancing wouldn't be nearly so bad without unfair AI matchups and worst of all... that fucking talent tree. It's a huge pain, horribly unbalanced, poorly implemented piece of shit. Needs to be scrapped entirely.
