Mortal Kombat 11is going to expand in a big way with its upcomingAftermathexpansion on May 26, bringing with it plenty of new content for fans of the ultra-violent fighting game franchise. This new content will include the return of the Friendships feature, which are happy, non-violent alternatives toMortal Kombat 11’s brutal Fatalities. While Friendships aren’t as violent as Fatalities, they are just as creative, with one being used by game director Ed Boon to troll fans.
Since beforeMortal Kombat 11was launched, fans have been in an uproar about the game’slack of Mileena. The decision to basically give Mileena’s move-set to Kitana as one of her variants only upset fans further, and Ed Boon has used his Twitter to troll fans angry about Mileena’s absence. Now the fan demand for Mileena appears to be referenced in Kitana’sMortal Kombat 11Friendship.

When players perform Kitana’s Friendship inMortal Kombat 11, she is joined by none other than Mileena herself. The sisters play a game of patty-cake together and embrace underneath a big “FRIENDSHIP” sign made out of balloons as confetti rains from the sky. Boon shared a clip of Kitana’s Friendship inMortal Kombat 11: Aftermathand said, “Um…. Mileena Konfirmed?”
While Kitana’s Friendship inMortal Kombat 11has gotten quite a bit of buzz, NetherRealm has revealed many of the other Friendships that are coming as part of the bigAftermathupdate on May 26. As revealed by theMortal Kombat 11Friendships trailer, players will be getting access to a slew of very unique and amusing Friendships for every character on theMK11roster.
Friendships will be added toMortal Kombat 11for everyone to try as a free update on May 26, along withStage Fatalities. However, some of the content coming as part ofMortal Kombat 11: Aftermathwill require players to actually purchase the expansion itself. This includes the three DLC characters (Fujin, Sheeva, andRoboCop), as well as the new story content that takes place right after the events of the base game.
Regardless, theMortal Kombat 11May 26 update is bringing a ton of new content for fans of the game to try. It will definitely be interesting to see all the other Friendships that are added in the update to see how many have fun references like this one.
Mortal Kombat 11is out now for PC, PS4, Stadia, Switch, and Xbox One.
