Mortal Kombat 1 is the latest victim of voices38, who has managed to crack its Denuvo anti-tamper protection. Mortal Kombat 1 came out on PC in September 2023. This means that it took almost three years to crack it.
The previous Denuvo-protected game that was cracked was Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced. So, the gap between these two Denuvo cracks was 21 days.
It’s worth noting that voices38 has also released a crack for Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain. However, CPY had cracked this game in late 2016. This is why I’m mostly focusing on Mortal Kombat 1, which was never cracked by any other group.
Warner Bros has removed Denuvo from an older MK game, Mortal Kombat 11. So, it will be interesting to see whether the publisher will respond to this crack, and whether it will remove Denuvo from MK1. It’s also worth noting that Warner Bros has removed Denuvo from Gotham Knights and Back 4 Blood.
Other publishers have also removed it from some of their games. Take, for instance, Square Enix. Square Enix has removed it from DRAGON QUEST I & II HD-2D Remake. In December 2025, they also removed it from Just Cause 3. Not only that, but they have removed it from The Diofield Chronicle, VALKYRIE ELYSIUM, TRIANGLE STRATEGY, LIVE A LIVE, and Forspoken. Moreover, both Octopath Traveler and its sequel no longer use it. And that’s not all. In May 2024, SE removed it from Star Ocean The Second Story R. Finally, in March 2025, the publisher removed it from Final Fantasy 16.
Capcom is another publisher that has removed Denuvo from a lot of its games. In November 2025, they removed it from Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny. Monster Hunter Rise, Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin, and Resident Evil Village are also Denuvo-free as we speak. Similarly, Resident Evil 2 Remake and Resident Evil 3 Remake no longer use it. In July 2025, the Japanese team also removed it from Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess. Plus, Capcom has recently removed it from Resident Evil 4 Remake.
In March 2023, KRAFTON removed Denuvo from The Callisto Protocol. NEOWIZ has also removed it from its Souls-like game, Lies of P. In October 2024, Gearbox removed it from Homeworld 3, too.
And that’s not all. Yesterday, IO Interactive removed Denuvo from 007 First Light. Bethesda’s Wolfenstein Youngblood, Ghostwire: Tokyo, Doom Eternal, and Doom: The Dark Ages no longer have it. Then we have Bandai Namco, which has removed it from Tekken 7 and NARUTO TO BORUTO: SHINOBI STRIKER.
As always, we won’t allow any download links to the crack. So, don’t bother sharing one in the Comment section. However, I’m pretty sure most of you will be able to find it via a simple Google search.
Stay tuned for more!
