Mortal Kombat 11 is an upcoming fighting video game developed by Nether Realm Studios and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. Running on the Unreal Engine 3, it is the eleventh main installment in the Mortal Kombat series and a sequel to 2015's Mortal Kombat X.
Announced at The Game Awards 2018, the game is set to be released worldwide on April 23rd, 2019 for Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. In late January 2019, it was reported that the Switch version was delayed in Europe and is now scheduled for a May 10th, 2019 release.
New gameplay features are introduced, such as Fatal Blow and Krushing Blow. Fatal Blow is a special move that deals with a large amount of damage, but only becomes available when a player's health drops below 30%. Fatal Blow acts as a replacement of X-Ray super move and can only be performed once per match. Krushing Blow is a special cinematic variation of a given special move, triggered when certain requirements are met. Also new is a Flawless Block mechanic, which allows for a comeback window after blocking an attack with precise timing.
