Ed Boon, co-creator and director of the Mortal Kombat series, has confirmed that the poorly received Mortal Kombat 1 Nintendo Switch port will receive updates soon to address a number of issues.

The details:

  • Boon told BBC Newsbeat that the Switch version will "absolutely be getting an update" and that a "number of the concerns of the issues that had come up will absolutely be addressed" in the patch. While it would have been "ideal" to release a perfect port of the game for Nintendo's hybrid console, the director went on to say that anything that people are "finding a problem with" is on the list to be fixed in future updates.
  • Following the game's release last week, fans took to social media to share footage and screenshots. Although everyone expected the Switch version to be a graphical downgrade compared to other platforms due to the Switch's inferior hardware, players were met with hilariously low-quality visuals, bugs, and performance issues, resulting in an overall poor experience for a game that costs a full $70.
  • Outside of the Switch version, the soft reboot has received praise from fans and critics for its tight fighting mechanics, new Kameo system, and rebooted story, which provides more in-depth backgrounds for some characters than previous titles.
