From now through the weekend, PC players can jump in and try out Mortal Kombat XL in what NetherRealm is calling the Enhanced Online Beta.
Available now on Steam, the beta is meant to help the game be “the best it can be,” says Director Ed Boon.
Mortal Kombat XL includes the core game, Kombat Pack 1 and 2, along with all the previously released skins like the Brazil Skin Pack and the Kold War Scorpion Skin. Kombat Pack 1 in particular includes the guest characters Jason Voorhees and Predator among others, while Kombat Pack 2 includes the guest characters of Leatherface from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and the Xenomorph from Alien.
The fact Mortal Kombat XL is coming to PC at all is a surprise on its own. The collection was originally canceled on the PC and thought to be a console exclusive. The reveal of the beta comes after Boon dropped hints earlier in the week, tweeting out, “Maybe we should Karry eXtra Long People who Care?” The capital letters can be pulled out to read: MKXL PC. The Beta runs now through 10 AM PT on Monday, August 29.
In other NetherRealm news, the developer is continuing to pump out new footage and character announcements for Injustice 2. Most recently the developer revealed Deadshot and Harley Quinn as the latest additions to the sequel’s roster.
