The first two entries of NetherRealm's trilogy used X-Ray moves which were replaced by Fatal Blows in the most recent game from 2019. Judging from the recent announcement trailer, Mortal Kombat 1 looks to be much faster than the likes of Mortal Kombat 11, embodying the speed of what we saw with Mortal Kombat X back in 2015. True to series tradition, that will mean dedicated block, throw, and stance switching buttons, as well as dial-in combos, three-input special moves, and fatalities of course. While it's currently unknown exactly how Mortal Kombat 1 will play, it's likely to be an iteration over the past trilogy of NetherRealm-developed fighting games. Clear inspiration has been taken from the Mortal Kombat movie from 2021 with a more grounded style and flair, especially in regards to Shang Tsung who bares a striking resemblance to actor Chin Han from the film. The first trailer has shown off what some of the biggest names in the franchise will look like including Liu Kang himself, as well as Kung Lao, Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Kitana, Mileena, and Shang Tsung. It's a smart choice if you ask us as it gives the series a chance to go back to its roots without the hard reset that was needed when Mortal Kombat rebooted back in 2011.
As expected, the title follows on from the events of Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath from 2020, which saw Fire God Liu Kang defeat Shang Tsung and Kronika to reset the convoluted timeline and bring free will to the remade EarthRealm (and presumably OutWorld, too). The cinematic announcement trailer for Mortal Kombat 1 debuted on May 18 which gives us our first proper look at the game. Mortal Kombat 1 trailers Mortal Kombat 1 cinematic announcement trailer
What can I play it on? Xbox Series X, PS5, PC, Nintendo Switch What is it? A reboot of the long-running Mortal Kombat fighting game series We're bringing you everything we know about Mortal Kombat 1 from the gameplay to news, trailers, information regarding the story, and everything else we can find out so that you're ready for when the bloody action title returns in just a few months' time. It's an exciting time to be a fan of the franchise, as Mortal Kombat 1 is likely to be considered one of the best fighting games around in a year that's already going to be graced with some real heavy hitters (pun intended). We know that the game is definitely coming to PS5, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, and PC but no official word has yet been given about previous console generation ports according to the official website listing. The game, originally rumored to be called Mortal Kombat 12, acts as both a canonical soft reboot and a direct sequel to the previous games without completely erasing them from the timeline. Mortal Kombat 1 has officially been announced and is coming out in four months' time on September 19, 2023.
