You’re gonna have to plunk down some cash if you want an early hands-on with Mortal Kombat 11. NetherRealm is holding a closed beta soon, and the barrier to entry is a financial one.
Mortal Kombat‘s upcoming closed beta is restricted to people who have pre-ordered the game. This comes on the heels of the online stress test, which required people to sign up and be selected. The beta is less discerning, simply asking that you pre-pay for Mortal Kombat 11.
The closed beta is planned for March 28 through March 31, which is the weekend of PAX East. Series creator Ed Boon shared some new details over Twitter, including start times for each region:
