With the arrival of Injustice 2 this May–along with the game not being a part of the Evo 2017 lineup–many are concerned that Mortal Kombat XL will soon be on its way out. However, it seems the developers would beg to differ. Earlier this week, the Final Round Twitter account announced that Warner Bros. and NetherRealm Studios will be providing a $5,000 pot bonus for the Mortal Kombat XL tournament at Final Round XX. This will no doubt draw more hungry kombatants from across the realms to try their hand at getting a piece of the prize–as well as attempting to stop the legendary roll of Echo Fox|SonicFox before Injustice 2 releases.
THANK YOU @wbpictures AND @NetherRealm for sponsoring #FR20 $5000 prize bonus for MKXL. https://t.co/Tp3j1k7RDU pic.twitter.com/NTEWljH1Vg
