In recent history, Mortal Kombat has been great at expanding the traditional fighting game experience. A central part of this in recent versions has been the Krypt, an area where you can spend in-game currency on alternate outfits, costume colors, artwork, and more. But despite his huge popularity with fans, one of the series’ lead characters, Ed Boon, has announced that his team is planning something different for Mortal Kombat 1.
“We have a whole new system [for unlocks]”, He said PS blog. “I can tell you it’s not a Krypt. But we will have a whole new unlocking system.
It will be interesting to see what I prepare. In the latest Mortal Kombat 11, the Krypt was a fully explorable 3D space with a map that you could navigate in order to open chests. But, while slightly different in concept, Street Fighter 6’s recently released RPG-style world tour mode really broadened our horizons for what’s possible here. It would be nice to see something more in depth like this.
We’re also secretly hoping that some of the minigames from previous titles will return. Although we expected NetherRealm to focus on basic combat, we wouldn’t say no to Motor Kombat or Puzzle Kombat, right?
