Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate is, without a doubt, the most complete version of MK11 available, packing a serious punch with its roster of 37 fighters, including all DLC characters, the Aftermath Expansion, and both Kombat Packs. However, despite its comprehensive nature, a few cosmetic items and specific editions are not included within the standard MK11 Ultimate package. This article breaks down exactly what’s missing, offering a clear picture for both new and returning players.
In short, Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate does not include the following:
- The “Klassic Movie Skin Pack”: This skin pack features likenesses and voices of the original Mortal Kombat movie cast.
- Halloween Skin Pack: Costumes related to Halloween.
- Shao Kahn (as a separate purchase): While Shao Kahn is included in MK11 Ultimate, he’s part of the bundle itself, not a separate downloadable code unless he came with the initial game purchase.
- Specific Kollector’s Edition Content: Exclusive items from the Kollector’s Edition, such as the Scorpion Mask.
- Time Krystals (in some versions): Some editions might offer Time Krystals, but the standard Ultimate edition doesn’t guarantee them.
- Masquerade Skin Pack: A skin pack related to masquerade.
Now, let’s dive deeper and address some frequently asked questions to clarify any remaining confusion.
