Mortal Kombat 11 will be using the Denuvo anti-tamper tech

Mortal Kombat 11 releases later this month and its official Steam store page has been recently updated, indicating that this new fighting game will be using the Denuvo anti-tamper tech. As such, MK11 will be yet another fighting game – alongside Tekken 7 and SoulCalibur 6 – that will be using the controversial anti-tamper tech.

Mortal Kombat 11 will be powered by a custom version of Unreal Engine 3 and NetherRealm Studios promised that the PC version will be better than the one we got for Mortal Kombat X. QLOC will be handling Mortal Kombat 11 PC so hopefully there won’t be any performance conflicts/bugs with the inclusion of the Denuvo tech.

Now I know that some will be disheartened by the inclusion of Denuvo, however I’ve been recently re-playing Tekken 7 (which is still using Denuvo) and did not experience any major issues (there was at some point an issue with it, however it has already been addressed). So yeah, hopefully the implementation in Mortal Kombat 11 will be solid.

Mortal Kombat 11 releases on April 23rd!

          1. Don’t bother man. No matter the proof, you will always have people like the brother. Don’t take the bait.

  1. Wow, they’re behind times, don’t they know it’s all about epic exclusivity now?

    In all seriousness though, I’m not surprised. They’ve already shown how scummy they are
    with previous games and what with all the sjw redesignes they shoved in, they’re not getting my money either way.

  2. It will be like always. Pirates will be able to play the game without issues and only the paying clients are subject to the possible issues.

  3. Kinda surprised its not an Epic Store exclusive considering its made with Unreal Engine. But Thank God!

    This means there’s hope the next Rocksteady game will not be exclusive!

    Not really hyped about this one though, game seems ok, but I will wait for the Super Complete Extra Kombat Gold Edition down the line.

  4. Does not mater if it’s in a fighting game. I am sure anybody who follows Denuvo will know what it did to Tekken 7. Causing unusual hitching spikes when trying to perform combos or doing specific moves.

  5. “hopefully the implementation in Mortal Kombat 11 will be solid”

    It’s like saying: Hope they lube before they shove it in.

  6. When people just trash the game despite it a good game because of denuvo being implemented into the game. Pathetic.

    1. I doubt that. MK10 was pretty garbage so.. MK9 was greaaat, but x sucked. They lost their way in between when they were working on injustice 2.

  7. Pretty sure it will be implemented so badly that the CODEX “wraparound” (not really a crack as it still has the d in it) will make certain moves slow down the game. Just like in Injustice 2.

      1. Well one would hope, some companies are not dissuaded by greed and big bags of cash!

        CDPR, Bethesda, Capcom, etc.

        Some companies are smart enough to realize they can win more by releasing on as much platforms as possible. And smart enough to understand that Steam has almost 100 million users and that means more profit in the long run. Plus they also realize that a Fortnite player would rather spend their money on skins rather than new games.

        But we are talking about WB here so this can go either way.

        1. My bad you are right, forgot about Fallout 76 and SFV.

          But I meant no so greedy as to accept Epics bribes.

      2. It isn’t. The MK reboot games use a heavily modified Unreal 3 engine. The devs said so a couple weeks ago in some story about people complaining about the graphics or something. Not sure why anyone is surprised, if they played MK9 they can see in Sonya’s skin just how outdated the graphics are. In anyone’s skin in the game.

        I wouldn’t be surprised though.

  9. denuvo will now be exclusive to the epic store for one year. You guys remember games? I liked games.

  10. This is why I hold off on purchasing anything that has DRM encoded into it. It’s a scheme that benefits the publishers while screwing the end user who spends their hard earned money purchasing a game that doesn’t even belong to them, and is more likely to affect the integrity of their hardware with crap like Denuvo shoved into a game.

    Mortal Kombat as a franchise has also worn out it’s welcome. It’s become stale and uninspiring, from the gameplay, to the blood and gore gimmick, to the story structure that is identical to Injustice (alternative universes, clean-cut heroes turning evil).

  11. You should start adding “for no reason” to the end of article titles about “x game will be exclusive to epic store” and “x game will be using denuvo”

  12. You should start adding “for no reason” to the end of article titles about “x game will be exclusive to epic store” and “x game will be using denuvo”

  13. Also don’t forget that all the women are fully clothed, and the men are half naked or more in this game. They’re apparently targeting Gay Men, and Straight Women only this time. So I guess Denuvo will be added to their profit losses.

  14. I don’t know why people are angry about using Denuvo, they simply try to protect their games from pirates, at least in the first week, i know some gamers with weak pc can feel some slowdowns but for others 1 or 3 fps doesn’t matter. I’ m not a Denuvo fan but how can they protect their efforts and games from piracy ???

  15. Anybody surprised at this sh*t anymore is a inbred hick. Of course, most major game releases are going to use Denuvo.
