Speaking to IGN at a recent event for the game, NetherRealm Studios marketing manager Brian Goodman explained that the company wasn't prepared to discuss microtransactions "yet", all but confirming there would come a point in the future where an announcement will be made."We are not releasing any details on that yet," he said when asked if the feature would be included in the upcoming brawler. "Nothing to say about microtransactions yet."Though not an official confirmation, the implication of "yet" suggests we will be hearing about microtransactions in the future.There's no way to predict how such a feature could be implemented, though if the Krypt makes a return it could be used in conjunction with that. In previous games, the Krypt was a large area designed to look like a graveyard, with a huge number of tombs you could unlock using the in-game currency Koins. Some of the tombs included secret costumes, fatalities, art and even fighters.It's not beyond the realms of possibility, therefore, that you'll be able to download packs of Koins to expedite the arduous process of getting everything. While this is pure speculation at this point, it does seem microtransactions will likely be present in Mortal Kombat X in some shape or form.Also at the event, we got to check out the newly announced Living Towers mode , which adds unique gameplay modifiers to standard matches, and get a hint at even more characters that could be on the way.
