Mortal Kombat 11 Aftermath Buying Guide: Price, Aftermath Kollection, And More

Mortal Kombat 11 released just over a year ago; now, NetherRealm Studios' fighting game is back with its first expansion, Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath, which released this week on May 26 for PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC, and Stadia, with a physical version releasing this June in the Americas only. The Aftermath expansion adds new playable characters to the roster along with new character skin packs, but it also continues the story campaign with brand-new content--a first for the franchise.

Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath's new epilogue storyline picks up right after the conclusion of the main game. Liu Kang has defeated Kronika, and he and Raiden are preparing to use Kronika's Hourglass to create a better timeline for all the realms. However, that's right when recurring antagonist Shang Tsung and his unlikely allies, Nightwolf and Fujin, show up to reveal a larger threat is at play.

New playable characters are joining the roster in Aftermath, such as Fujin, the God of Wind who serves as Earthrealm's protector alongside Raiden, and Sheeva, the four-armed, half-dragon queen of the Shokan race. Mortal Kombat: Aftermath also adds a new guest character: cyborg police officer RoboCop from the 1987 action/satire film. While NetherRealm hasn't shared much info on how he'll fight, the original actor from the film, Peter Weller, will reprise his role for Aftermath.

A free content update for all Mortal Kombat 11 owners is also available now, introducing brand-new stages and reviving classic arenas like MK2's Dead Pool and MK3's Soul Chamber. The free update also adds Stage Fatalities (finishing moves that use the environment to take down foes) and Friendships, which offer a goofier ending to brutal battles.

Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath is out now, but if you're still looking to buy the game or its new expansion, you have a couple of purchase options to consider, including the new Aftermath Kollection. Read on for everything you need to know about buying Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath.
