Here is everything you need to know about the Mortal Kombat 1 November 9 update.

Omni-Man has finally landed in the NetherRealm after a lengthy journey from Viltrum. By all accounts, the Viltrumite's move set, Fatalities, and presence make him a solid addition to the Mortal Kombat 1 cast. On top of adding Omni-Man to Mortal Kombat 1, NetherRealm Studios deployed an update accompanied by patch notes on November 9 for players on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Switch, and PC.

Here is everything that has been updated and changed in the latest Mortal Kombat 1 patch.
