Posted on January 20, 2016 by Rae Michelle Richards

Nether Realm Studios’ latest fighting game, Mortal Kombat X, hit several platforms last year including Xbox One / PS4 and PC. 

According to a community specialist with the company the PC port will not be receiving a substantial Netcode update or the second season of extra characters.

Fighting game fan site Shoryuken described the revelation that the PC port would receive no more major updates thusly:

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

The PC port of Mortal Kombat X was handled by a third party developer outside of Nether Realm and MKX wasn’t the only major game from last year to have a broken PC Version. Players of Rocksteady’s Batman Arkham Knighe also experienced major issues as well.

Season 2 of MKX’s DLC will add Learherface, Xenomorph (from the Aliens franchise), Bo Rai Cho and Triborg.
