As the developer explains, the game takes place in a new Mortal Kombat universe created by the fire god Liu Kang. Here you can explore a completely new story, with a new twist on several well-known Mortal Kombat characters.
The figure gallery includes, among others, Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Raiden, Kung Lao, Kitana and Johnny Cage.
As for the gameplay itself, NetherRealm promises new modes and a completely new battle system. The latter has been expanded with what the developer calls Kameo Fighters – computer-controlled characters that can help players in battle.
Mortal Kombat 1 is coming to PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and Nintendo Switch on September 19. A beta will be held in August, but this will only be open to those who pre-order the game for either PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X/S.
