The game’sInvasionscountdown timer recently received an update that lengthens the current season by an additional 14 days.
Instead of Season 4 arriving on February 13, then, we now know it’s coming on February 28. AsiScreamFGC(viathethiny) noted, this implied Peacemaker and the crossplay update had also been postponed.
Peacemaker and Crossplay have been officially delayed. The countdown has been increased by exactly 14 days (2 weeks). The current release date for Season 4 & Peacemaker is February 27/28.Note that there is currently no official “announcement” from the MK or WB teams regarding…pic.twitter.com/SpoHV1dkCx
In a follow-up tweet,iScreamFGCshared a screenshot of information relayed by reputable insider FateUnknown.
According to the leaker, Mortal Kombat 1’s Peacemaker content andcrossplay featurewere indeed slated to launch at the same time. A “desync issue” requiring extensive time and resources is reportedly the reason for the delay. (It’s worth noting that a release date for crossplay functionality presently remains under wraps.)
The reasoning behind the#Peacemakerdelay was“Desync fix took a lot of time & resources.”Leaker, FateUnknown was right YET AGAIN after coming out & telling us almost less than 24 hours ago. He is right, time after time again!! 🫣pic.twitter.com/eX9elTcwpF
