In other words, there might be a Halloween Tower or something along those lines. Lastly, the Premier Tower is going to be a special challenge trotted out around specific events. The Daily Tower is a bit longer, and will be refreshed every 24 hours, as you might expect. The Quick Tower is five fights long and NetherRealm expects to change up what those five fights are every two to three hours. I chatted with Goodman about this-I started the Tower but never bothered finishing it, and while he said more people finished the mode than NetherRealm expected many did the same as me and quit part-way through.įor Mortal Kombat X, NetherRealm is revamping the idea into what they call the “Living Tower.” There are three separate tracks: Quick Tower, Daily Tower, and Premier Tower.

My one worry with said X-Ray moves is the same as Mortal Kombat IX: The first time you see it, it’s shocking, but the effect diminishes over time and you’re stuck watching what’s basically a long, disruptive cutscene in the midst of a tightly-paced fight.
