* UpdatedRerelease: If you don't like paying separately for DLC, just wait about a year after each [=NetherRealm=] console game drops, and they'll put out a GameOfTheYearEdition with all the extra content available on-disc from the start, along with a few little extras. In ''Injustice'''s case, the ''Ultimate Edition'' was also an opportunity to port the game to new systems, namely the UsefulNotes/PlayStation4, UsefulNotes/XboxOne, and UsefulNotes/PlayStationVita. ''11''[='=]s ''Ultimate'' edition serves the same purpose of porting the game to the UsefulNotes/PlayStation5 and UsefulNotes/XboxSeriesXAndS, with a free upgrade offered to current owners of the game.

* BorrowingFromTheSisterSeries:
** ''Mortal Kombat X'' borrowed the "Interactables" mechanic from ''Injustice: Gods Among Us'', as well as the [[PressXToNotDie quick-time event]] feature for its story mode. In addition, the game had a series of prequel comics, a first for the series, expanding the lore and properly introducing some of the new characters, and a three-character fighting mobile game, also another first, after ''Injustice''[='=]s own game.
** ''Injustice 2'' borrowed from ''X'' the DialogueTree feature, the character selection screen (with the addition of the characters hitting each other after being selected), and the "Tower Konquest" battles, rechristened here as the Multiverse/Brother Eye. In addition, its CharacterCustomization feature expands upon ''X''[='=]s "three playstyles per character" system, with even more possibilities.
** ''Mortal Kombat 11'' took the CharacterCustomization system from ''Injustice 2'', its multi-character chapters for the Story Mode, the use of a numeric value to represent the character health, and an {{Overcrank}} effect for both [[FinishingMove Fatalities]] and {{Victory Pose}}s (save certain outros).
