Omni-Man has finally joined the roster of Mortal Kombat 1 alongside a substantial new update for the game. After releasing back in September, developer NetherRealm Studios began to outline its plans for future content in MK1. To that end, Omni-Man from the Invincible comic book series is the first character that has joined the title as DLC and has rolled out alongside a huge balance patch for the month of November.

As a whole, this new MK1 update adds a couple of new features outside of just Omni-Man. For starters, Practice mode has received some subtle changes that now make it easier to swap between Kameo characters. Additionally, a number of balance changes have been implemented that tweak just about every character on the MK1 roster in one way or another. Lastly, a variety of bugs have also now been squashed that extend to Mortal Kombat 1’s general gameplay and its supporting Invasions single-player mode.
To get a look at everything that has been overhauled in this update, you can find today’s full MK1 update notes attached below.
