Mortal Kombat 11 characters will each get a third variation in an upcoming patch, NetherRealm has announced.

In a developer livestream, NetherRealm said the patch would be out soon.

Character variations are a controversial feature of the fighting game because ranked play limits players to choosing from two developer-created movesets for each fighter.

As we’ve reported, Mortal Kombat 11’s custom variation system is fun in theory, but in practice is frustrating.

Outside of ranked play – and the cool Kombat League – you can play with your custom variations. So, if there’s a cool combo you’ve worked out using a unique combination of abilities, you can take it into all the single-player modes and have fun with it.
