Mortal Kombat X on PC Won’t Receive Kombat Pack 2 Content

NetherRealm Studios community specialist Tyler Lansdown has confirmed that Mortal Kombat X’s upcoming Kombat Pack 2 will not be heading to PC.

Suspicions were raised about the future of Mortal Komat X on PC when the ongoing netcode beta was limited to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and this seems to be the final nail in the coffin for a version that has been plagued with issues since launch.

This console restriction naturally applies to Mortal Kombat XL, the “game of the year” edition that collects all of the title’s downloadable content into one package, as well.

Rest in peace, Mortal Kombat X for PC. We hardly knew you.

Blade & Soul: The Weird, Wonky, and Wonderful Things So Far

I’ve been playing Blade & Soul a lot since its Head Start began late last week, and today I’m happy to report that I’m still having a good time, for now. The core of B&S enjoyment, at least for me, is in the game’s combat, PVP, and group dungeons. The combat essentially being the chief reason I’d recommend people play this F2P MMORPG. But that doesn’t mean NCSOFT’s most recent effort is perfect.

Hades Izanami Lays Waste to BlazBlue: Central Fiction in Early Gameplay Footage

Hades Izanami has tormented the BlazBlue universe for years, and now she’s set to join the playable cast in BlazBlue: Central Fiction. In the reveal trailer below, the vicious antagonist proves she’s a force to be dealt with as she tears into Ragna the Bloodedge, Jin Kisaragi, and other members of the cast.

While we are still working on gleaning information from Famitsu’s write-up, early details translated by greatfernman provide some insight into the footage shown above.

Izanami’s gameplay revolves around a unique float mechanic, which replaces her double jump and is described in similar terms to Zato-1’s flight in Guilty Gear Xrd, and mode shifting. Upon activating her “Yasakani no Magatama” unit, the newcomer gains a brand new collection of attacks but loses the ability to block.

Hades Izanami will become playable when BlazBlue: Central Fiction’s ‘Act2’ update arrives in arcades on January 28.
