Mortal Kombat 1 Update: Cyrax Kameo Nerf and Spooky Stage Additions

ByDarrell Etherington

In the ever-evolving world of Mortal Kombat 1, a game that has been out for just over a month, we’re already witnessing significant changes that promise to reshape the competitive landscape.

Cyrax Kameo Takes a Hit

NetherRealm Studios has just unleashed the latest game-altering update for MK1. The primary highlight of this update is the much-anticipated nerf to the potent Cyrax Kameo, a move that has dominated the metagame since the game’s release. Although the official patch notes are yet to be revealed, avid gamers and experts like Rooflemonger have observed a substantial modification. Cyrax’s horizontal spin assist now consumes the entire Kameo meter, fundamentally altering the dynamic of this move. This is a remarkable shift as the previously formidable Kameo is now considerably more resource-intensive, altering its utility in combos and blockstrings.

While the Cyrax Nerf is undoubtedly the standout change, this update likely includes other balance adjustments. For a comprehensive understanding of what’s new in the MK1 metagame, we’ll need to await the full breakdown patiently.

Spooktacular Additions: Halloween Stage Variation

In the spirit of Halloween, NRS has added a thrilling new stage variation to the iconic Cage Mansion. This haunted stage is expected to be available for a limited time, providing gamers with a unique and eerie backdrop for their brutal battles.

Return of a Fan-Favorite Feature

Not only does this update address character balance and add a Halloween twist, but it also brings back a beloved feature that was conspicuously absent at launch. Gamers can once again pin moves on the screen, enhancing their learning and practice experiences.

Additional In-Game Enhancements

The in-game patch notification also highlights some quality-of-life improvements, including the ability to mute opponents during online matches. Players can now benefit from an in-game ping/connection indicator to ensure smoother online play. Furthermore, a Halloween-themed Fatality can be purchased in the in-game shop, adding a spooky flair to the fatalities.

Platform Availability

The update is live on PlayStation and Xbox platforms, while PC and Nintendo Switch users will have to exercise a bit of patience before they can experience these transformative changes.

Note: We will continue to provide additional updated information and discoveries from the player community as we eagerly await the release of the official patch notes.

Stay tuned for more thrilling developments in the ever-evolving Mortal Kombat 1 universe!
