The Towers of Time is a new game mode inMortal Kombat 11that’s a cross between the multiverse mode found inInjustice 2, also developed by NetherRealm Studios, andMortal Kombat X’sTowers mode. The Towers of Time offer both preset and randomizedchallenges for playerswho want to test their prowess against NPCs in a series of battles. Each fight has a special modifier or challenge, such as a poison-based modifier that drains your offensive and defensive meters and gives it to your opponent.
