A new patch is now live for the PS4 version of NetherRealms' "Mortal Kombat X," latest installment in the long-running "Mortal Kombat" franchise.
Announced first by "Mortal Kombat" co-creator Ed Boon via his official Twitter account, the latest patch for "Mortal Kombat X" focuses on specific tweaks and improvements for the myriad of characters of the fighting game. According to the patch notes published on the community page of publisher Warner Bros. Interactive, the character-specific tweaks went live first for the PlayStation 4 version of the title, with the update for the PC and Xbox One versions to follow soon.
The changelog for the new patch lists a mix of character updates and specific fighter glitch fixes, and involves all of the current fighter roster for "Mortal Kombat X." In addition, game developer NetherRealms intended for the new patch to address concerns and improvements specific to the character lineup only, since the number of improvements and tweaks for the design, interface, gameplay, and bug fixes were already resolved in a prior update, patch 1.08.

However, although the new update focuses on the title's characters, it does not give out any information for succeeding character-related features, such as who will be included in "Kombat Pack 2." It was already confirmed that "Mortal Kombat X" will receive additional expansions and DLC packs next year.
