A modder known as SHAAR has released a new modification that revives classic ninja fighters from the legendary Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 inside Mortal Kombat 11. The update focuses on reintroducing the look and feel of the original arcade-era characters for the modern DX11 build, giving players in Canada and the United States a nostalgic yet refreshed fighting game experience.
The developer has previously showcased this approach with Scorpion and Rain. With this latest effort, Noob Saibot and Sub-Zero have joined the lineup, bringing back their classic visual styles and textures. The result is a striking blend of retro character design and contemporary gameplay fidelity that resonates with longtime MK fans and new players alike. This release underscores how fan-driven mods can expand a game’s universe without altering the core engine.
Short video demonstrations accompany the mod, illustrating how the classic skins look in modern arenas and during signature move animations. The mod is presented as accessible to the player community, inviting anyone to try it and experience the retro MK11 experience. The creator notes that the modification is compatible solely with the DX11 version of Mortal Kombat 11. Installation involves transferring the accompanying texture files into the game’s textures directory, a straightforward process that many PC players can complete in minutes.
In related coverage, attention has recently turned to a Scorpio-themed cosplay that highlighted the enduring influence of Mortal Kombat characters in pop culture.
