There’s nothing extra annoying than completely rinsing your opponent in a combating recreation, solely to have them throw a tantrum and pull the plug mid-match. NetherRealm devised a enjoyable option to cope with cowardly disconnectors again in Mortal Kombat X with “Quitalities,” the place the loser finishes themselves with a neat head explosion or, in Mortal Kombat 11’s case, an enormous rock impaling them. It beats the traditional “oops, sorry” disconnection display screen and fortunately, it is making a return within the new entry.
Mortal Kombat 1’s stress take a look at came about over the weekend—on Xbox and PlayStation solely, sadly—letting followers check out 4 fighters and three helps throughout a handful of levels offline, or in opposition to different gamers on-line. It looks like some gamers took the “stress” a part of the stress take a look at somewhat too actually on-line, with folks going through quite a lot of rage quitters throughout the weekend.

On the brilliant facet, it gave us have a look at the brand new flavour of Quitality Mortal Kombat 1 is bringing. As a substitute of head explosions or rock impalings, this time characters are taking to snapping their very own necks to flee brutal beatings. Ouch. It is a neat animation although, with the stage slipping right into a noir color palette because the spine-tingling sound of crunching bones penetrates your earholes. Maybe not everybody’s cup of tea, however a really Mortal Kombat method of disconnecting from the match.
Hopefully, PC gamers will not have to attend lengthy to be included in future betas or stress assessments. The console one is wrapping up right this moment (June 26) and there’ll little doubt be one other alternative to play earlier than its September 19 launch date. Let’s simply hope NetherRealm manages to cull its mammoth 100GB set up dimension earlier than then.
