The official Mortal Kombat 11 1.12 update patch notes are upon us! It has Sindel somewhere in its depth as well as some other new stuff that is a little more mysterious. Also keep in mind that this update is only out for PS4 and Xbox One, as has been the case since launch.
Mortal Kombat 11 1.12 Update Patch Notes | Sindel
She’s not playable until November 26 (for Kombat Pack owners) but the scream queen was included in this patch as evidenced by how you can find augments for her in the Krypt. We will see a full reveal of her November 21 at 1 PM PT on the Kombat Kast. It also has the skins releasing alongside Sindel (like the Klassic Cassie) but those also aren’t available yet.

Mortal Kombat 11 1.12 Update Patch Notes | New tower rewards
Now, when completing certain towers, the game will give players other rewards for that character and that can possibly include Brutalities as well as variation icons (some of these are dependent on playing on Brutal difficulty). Co-op towers also now have multiple towers in them as well, as evidenced by the new tower section on the screen. You can even now play these towers alone if you’re brave enough or have enough augments but group towers will be significantly harder since you are by yourself.
There are also new Brutalities and end of round taunts as well as new secret tower events.
Mortal Kombat 11 1.12 Update Patch Notes | Balance changes
There weirdly aren’t many balance changes in this except how much of the cast now has moves that aren’t effected by Terminator’s Incapacitator. You can get into the nitty gritty below.
