Mortal Kombat (2011) reinvigorated the franchise after its sale to Warner Brothers in 2009. Ownership of the cinematic boogeyman reverted to the Craven estate sometime last year, but he continues to be available through various platforms, as reported. This appears to throw cold water on unverified fan theories that guest character Freddy Krueger was to blame. If you have any questions about these changes, please contact Customer Support for assistance using the “Ask for Help” link above. PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Steam Players: The Message of the Day feature for Mortal Kombat (2011) on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Steam will no longer be available due to these network changes. Offline game modes, including the Story mode, will still be accessible. The original statement is below: PlayStation 3 Players: Due to changes with our network, access to online multiplayer features for Mortal Kombat (2011) on PlayStation 3 will no longer be available. The status update was posted to the Mortal Kombat Support forum, coming shortly after reports of the publisher pulling Mortal Kombat: Komplete Edition from sale on Steam.

Read on for the full statement: Offline functions such as Story Mode should not be effected, but Online Multiplayer and Message of the Day will no longer function for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, or PC.


Warner Bros support has posted a status update attributing the closure to network changes. Online functions for Mortal Kombat and Mortal Kombat: Komplete Edition have ceased with the latest update taking the game offline.
