After several rumors, Mortal Kombat 1 has finally been officially revealed and will be released on September 19, 2023, but a question that many are asking is: Will Mortal Kombat 1 be released on PS4 or Xbox One?
NetherRealm and Warner Bros. Games have released an announcement trailer for Mortal Kombat 1, revealing our first official look. the short trailer offered nothing in terms of actual gameplay, the cinematics showed us plenty of gory details, from skull crushing to eye gouging to a poor soul being sliced in two.
Ahead of its September release, players who pre-order certain editions of the game will receive early access, as well as the chance to join the Mortal Kombat 1 beta in August. Pre-order editions include the typical standard edition, available both physically and digitally, and will offer access to the beta version. Players can also get their hands on the special Mortal Kombat 1 Premium Edition or Kollector’s Edition, both of which offer Early Access and Beta Access.
“Mortal Kombat 1 marks a new beginning for the franchise and we couldn’t be more excited to share this original story and a fresh take on the classic characters with our fans.said Ed Boon, Creative Director of NetherRealm Studios and Co-Creator of Mortal Kombat. “We are also introducing our Kameo Fighter system, which brings a unique roster of associated characters, and we are looking forward to showing this feature as well as other new gameplay elements very soon..”
