He gets some of the best fight scenes in the entire expansion, and you can tell heвЂ™s having a ball hamming it up as the dark sorcerer who canвЂ™t help himself when it comes to betraying his closest allies. ItвЂ™s quite a predictable story, but none of that really matters as Cary-Hiroyuki TagawaвЂ™s Shang Tsung takes centre stage and gleefully steals every scene heвЂ™s in. WeвЂ™ll try to avoid spoiling the major beats of the main story mode (just in case you havenвЂ™t played or finished it yet), but the gist involves an uneasy alliance of warriors coming together to revisit the past in order to reforge history. Thankfully, Mortal Kombat 11 sports one of the most enjoyable story modes to ever grace the genre вЂ“ one that explores the entire history of the series, building to a brilliantly over-the-top finale вЂ“ so with Aftermath we get to find out what happens next.

Narrative expansions are nothing new if youвЂ™re an open-world explorer or an experienced RPG player, but for fighting games? This is largely uncharted territory. Now the Chicago-based developer has raised its own bar yet again, delivering not just a raft of DLC characters but a full-on expansion in the form of Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath. The alternate fighting styles of X fed into the impressive facial animation of Injustice 2, with that second round of DC super-fighting leaving its mark on the customisation depth of last yearвЂ™s Mortal Kombat 11.

Captured on Nintendo Switch (Handheld/Undocked)Д®ver since the launch of Mortal Kombat X in 2015, NetherRealm StudiosвЂ™ output has continued to soar in quality.
