Publisher Warner Bros. Games has finally confirmed its intention to sell a seasonal “Fatality”, this move that allows the winner to “finish” their opponent at the end of a Mortal Kombat match. This famous “Finish him” contributed to the worldwide fame of the game, which appeared in arcades in the early 90s. But in Mortal Kombat 1, some of these movements become chargeable.
“Halloween Fatality will appear in the Premium Store at a later date, hopefully Friday (10/27). Stay tuned to the official Mortal Kombat social channels for any news on this,” it reads. in a tweet published this October 24 by WB Games Support.
“Paid fatality is absurd”
Very quickly, vehement reactions to the game multiplied, as pointed out by the specialized site IGN. On Reddit’s “r/MortalKombat” channel, for example, one player described this paid fatality as “absurd.” “Je comprends l’idée derrière les costumes du Premium Store, mais le Fatality payant, c’est tout simply trop. Est-ce que NRS (NetherRealm Studios) essaie de tuer le jeu avant 2024?”, s’insurge-t- He.
In the same thread we found comments of the same type: “People really need to vote with their wallet and not buy this, otherwise it will set a very bad precedent”; “Wow, I was pretty frustrated with a costume shop in a full price game, but was Fatalities too?” or “look how they massacred our franchise.”
“[Warner Bros. Games] Treat this like a free game,” complains Kanj0Bazooie. “These are literally the prices of Fortnite items. Except I can play Fortnite for free and I didn’t have to pay $130 before (deluxe edition).” Therefore, players fear that Warner Bros. Games will generalize this type of seasonal fatality offers. Others also hope that this new The Halloween bundle in the Premium Store will be available indefinitely and will not be limited to just the current season.
