Although it’s been out for less than a week, NetherRealm Studios has already released a patch for Mortal Kombat X. The ver.1.02 update fixes an issue regarding throws and applies some changes to Imposter Shinnok, Grandmaster Sub-Zero, and Shirai Ryu Takeda.

Additionally, Ronin Takeda has been granted a new move that brings his sword back without having to perform an attack.

The full patch notes can be found below, so be sure to check them out and let us know what you think.

  • General – Throws (regular or command grabs) will no longer sometimes connect on a grounded reacting opponent off a counter hit
  • Shinnok (Impostor) – He can now control the location of a stolen Goro Stomp.
  • Sub-Zero (Grandmaster) – Combos on a grounded opponent frozen by the Ice Klone will now scale properly.
  • Takeda (Ronin) – Added a new move “Quick Kall” (Down, Towards, Front Punch) which quickly returns a dropped blade without doing an attack.
  • Takeda (Shirai Ryu) – He will now always teleport to the other side when doing the Air Shirai Ryu Port

Apart from the balance adjustments, this update also added a free Sub-Zero skin that dresses the ninja up in one of his classic outfits as well as previews for the first round of Kombat Pack alternates–Pharaoh Ermac, Vampiress Mileena, and Kraken Reptile–all of which have been included in the following gallery.
