PlayStation 3 servers for Mortal Kombat 9 have been shut down
The PlayStation 3 servers for Mortal Kombat 9 were shut down on May 31, as the publisher, WB Games, changed the network. While online multiplayer features are still available, the game no longer supports the Message of the Day feature. The company did not provide any additional details about the change. Those who bought the game during the PlayStation Network’s flash sale may still be able to play online and continue to compete with friends.
While the game remains available individually, it is no longer listed on Xbox Live Marketplace. This move may be in preparation for a remake. It is unclear when Warner Brothers will release a new version of the game, but it is likely coming soon. Warner Brothers hasn’t revealed the reason why the game was pulled. If the game doesn’t hit store shelves in the near future, you may be able to buy it from a retailer of your choice.
While it’s unfortunate for PlayStation 3 users, the multiplayer portion of the game will continue to be available. Sony has a loyal following and many users log on to play the game on a daily basis. It’s unlikely that Sony will disable PlayStation Network servers, but if they do, the game’s multiplayer features will still be available for players. The PlayStation 3 is still an excellent gaming platform, so you can’t go wrong.
Xbox 360 servers for Mortal Kombat 9 have also been shut down
The Xbox 360 servers for Mortal Kombat 9 were also taken down on March 20. The game has now been pulled from digital stores like PlayStation Store and Steam and has been delisted from Xbox Marketplace. The developers haven’t revealed the reason behind the decision, but it could be related to the licensing issues with the game’s guest DLC character, Freddy Kruger. The estate of Wes Craven reportedly gained the rights to Freddy Kruger from Warner Bros. Nevertheless, despite the sudden move, fans of the acclaimed movie franchise can still purchase the standalone DLC and get a chance to see Freddy Kruger in action.
The game’s developers have apologized to fans for the inconvenience. The ESRB rated the game “Mature,” meaning it contains adult language, sexual references, and graphic material. As such, it is not recommended for young children or those who may be sensitive. The game’s rating also does not refer to the classic 1992 arcade game, but rather to the 2011 remake. It was developed by NetherRealm Studios and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.
Message of the Day feature in Mortal Kombat 9 has been removed
According to the official Mortal Kombat support website, the Message of the Day feature has been removed from all platforms. The move may be connected to licensing issues surrounding the appearance of Freddy Kruger in the game’s guest DLC. According to the latest reports, Wes Craven’s estate has regained the rights to the character. In any case, the standalone Freddy Kruger DLC is still available on the PlayStation Store and Xbox Marketplace.
The reason why the game has been pulled from the Steam store is unclear. Warner Bros. hasn’t revealed the reason behind the decision, but the news is certainly shocking. The game had just released in 2006 and was sold for a long time, but mysterious events have been reported on several pages. The game was available for purchase for an unknown amount of time before it was pulled from the market due to the publisher’s request.
The game was released nine years ago, and since then, many players have found it challenging to keep up. Mortal Kombat 9 is the ninth installment of the series. It features 3D support, a wide variety of fighters, and a large amount of DLC content. Mortal Kombat 9 has firmly established itself as the most popular game in the series, and has since been followed by two excellent sequels and a movie.
