Mortal Kombat's eleventh installment involves the time guardian Kronika intending to fix Raiden's mistakes which splintered the timeline.

The game also introduces a new <a href="/random-loot/3015-365/" data-ref-id="3015-365">loot-dropping</a> system based on the "Gear System" of <a href="/injustice-2/3030-54144/" data-ref-id="3030-54144">Injustice 2</a>, allowing players to earn new outfits, cosmetics, and bonus consumables (for use in single-player modes). Like Injustice 2, the loot system also features <a href="/microtransaction/3015-199/" data-ref-id="3015-199">microtransactions</a>.</p><h2>Gameplay</h2><p>As in previous games, players earn and spend meter for various moves and abilities. Unlike previous entries, MK11 has split its meters into offensive and defensive components. Super moves, called "<a href="/xray-damage/3015-8555/" data-ref-id="3015-8555">X-Rays</a>" in previous games, have been replaced with "Fatal Blow" attacks, which can be triggered when a player is at or below 30% health.</p><p>Characters can be customized cosmetically as well as from a gameplay perspective, with new moves that can be mapped onto a fighter, replacing or enhancing some of their base moves. Different versions of <a href="/sub-zero/3005-2/" data-ref-id="3005-2">Sub-Zero</a>, for example, may have his traditional slide or a standing shoulder charge.</p><p>The game also features consumable augments that can enhance a character's abilities and stats. Other consumables allow players to summon missiles, meteors, or even other characters for assist attacks. These summons appear to be missing from the multiplayer side of the game, but can be used in the Towers of Time, a rotating list of challenges that are pattern after MKX's Living Towers or <a href="/injustice-2/3030-54144/" data-ref-id="3030-54144">Injustice 2</a>'s Multiverse. Summons are activated by flicking the right analog stick in a specific direction.</p><h2>Playable Roster</h2><p>The base game includes 25 playable characters, one of which was a pre-order bonus (also made DLC) and one of which is unlockable (either by playing through Story Mode or through DLC).</p><h3>New Additions</h3><ul><li><a href="/cetrion/3005-39596/" data-ref-id="3005-39596">Cetrion</a></li><li><a href="/geras/3005-39448/" data-ref-id="3005-39448">Geras</a></li><li><a href="/kollector/3005-39648/" data-ref-id="3005-39648">Kollector</a></li></ul><h3>Returning Fighters</h3><ul><li><a href="/baraka/3005-64/" data-ref-id="3005-64">Baraka</a></li><li><a href="/cassie-cage/3005-29593/" data-ref-id="3005-29593">Cassie Cage</a></li><li><a href="/d-vorah/3005-29591/" data-ref-id="3005-29591">D’Vorah</a></li><li><a href="/erron-black/3005-31428/" data-ref-id="3005-31428">Erron Black</a></li><li><a href="/frost/3005-380/" data-ref-id="3005-380">Frost</a> (unlocked either through Story Mode or purchasing via DLC)</li><li><a href="/jacqueline-briggs/3005-31423/" data-ref-id="3005-31423">Jacqui Briggs</a></li><li><a href="/jade/3005-386/" data-ref-id="3005-386">Jade</a></li><li><a href="/jax/3005-235/" data-ref-id="3005-235">Jax</a></li><li><a href="/johnny-cage/3005-224/" data-ref-id="3005-224">Johnny Cage</a></li><li><a href="/kabal/3005-218/" data-ref-id="3005-218">Kabal</a></li><li><a href="/kano/3005-216/" data-ref-id="3005-216">Kano</a></li><li><a href="/kitana/3005-391/" data-ref-id="3005-391">Kitana</a></li><li><a href="/kotal-kahn/3005-29596/" data-ref-id="3005-29596">Kotal Kahn</a></li><li><a href="/kung-lao/3005-392/" data-ref-id="3005-392">Kung Lao</a></li><li><a href="/liu-kang/3005-188/" data-ref-id="3005-188">Liu Kang</a></li><li><a href="/noob-saibot/3005-152/" data-ref-id="3005-152">Noob Saibot</a></li><li><a href="/raiden/3005-125/" data-ref-id="3005-125">Raiden</a></li><li><a href="/scorpion/3005-1/" data-ref-id="3005-1">Scorpion</a></li><li><a href="/shao-kahn/3005-91/" data-ref-id="3005-91">Shao Kahn</a> (<a href="/pre-order-exclusive/3015-4695/" data-ref-id="3015-4695">pre-order bonus</a>, later released as paid DLC)</li><li><a href="/skarlet/3005-18367/" data-ref-id="3005-18367">Skarlet</a></li><li><a href="/sonya-blade/3005-70/" data-ref-id="3005-70">Sonya Blade</a></li><li><a href="/sub-zero/3005-2/" data-ref-id="3005-2">Sub-Zero</a></li></ul><h3>Post-Release DLC</h3><h4>Kombat Pack</h4><ul><li><a href="/shang-tsung/3005-92/" data-ref-id="3005-92">Shang Tsung</a> (features the voice and likeness of <a href="/cary-hiroyuki-tagawa/3040-165701/" data-ref-id="3040-165701">Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa</a>, who portrayed him in the 1995 <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mortal_Kombat_(film)" data-target="true" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mortal Kombat</a> film, added on June 25, 2019)</li><li><a href="/nightwolf/3005-399/" data-ref-id="3005-399">Nightwolf</a> (added on August 12, 2019)</li><li><a href="/t-800/3005-5820/" data-ref-id="3005-5820">The Terminator</a> (<a href="/guest-character/3015-7438/" data-ref-id="3015-7438">guest character</a> from the 2019 film <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminator:_Dark_Fate" data-target="true" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Terminator: Dark Fate</a>, added on October 15, 2019)</li><li><a href="/sindel/3005-407/" data-ref-id="3005-407">Sindel</a> (added on November 26, 2019)</li><li><a href="/the-joker/3005-952/" data-ref-id="3005-952">Joker</a> (guest character from the <a href="/dc-universe/3025-138/" data-ref-id="3025-138">DC Universe</a> franchise, added on January 28, 2020)</li><li><a href="/spawn/3005-2694/" data-ref-id="3005-2694">Spawn</a> (guest character from the <a href="/spawn/3025-908/" data-ref-id="3025-908">Spawn</a> franchise, added on March 17, 2020)</li></ul><h4>Aftermath</h4><ul><li><a href="/fujin/3005-381/" data-ref-id="3005-381">Fujin</a> (will be added on May 26, 2020)</li><li><a href="/sheeva/3005-88/" data-ref-id="3005-88">Sheeva</a> (will be added on May 26, 2020)</li><li><a href="/robocop/3005-109/" data-ref-id="3005-109">RoboCop</a> (guest character from the <a href="/robocop/3025-393/" data-ref-id="3025-393">RoboCop</a> franchise, will be added on May 26, 2020)</li></ul>
