If you hadn’t seen the Mortal Kombat 11‘s Kabal Brutality before the new patch, you weren’t missing a lot of visible details. The pre-patch version of the move shows Kabal screaming at his rival and revealing them his unmasked face which is supposed to be so horrible that it literally scares the opponents to death. Players wasn’t shown that perspective though and only had a censored version of Kabal to look at. Trials of Osiris boost in D2 is hard to do, because you need to win 7 matches in a row.
Brutality Uncensored
Honestly speaking, no wonder the new version of Kabal’s Brutality is a community joke now.
As you could notice in the video, his Brutality is way different from what you could expect, the good thing was that the blissful censorship with Pixelated in Cabal. The bad thing is that it seems like it wasn’t supposed to be that way, even in the video we see the brutality with one of the “young” skins in Kabal and it looks even more out of place, as it seems that NetherRealm. It shows Kabal with wild hair and eyes that bug out of his head, and it expectedly resembles to Large Marge from Pee-wee’s Big Adventure. Our prayers to dev team to do something, at least censor it back.
