Hot news: Mortal Kombat 1 – A complete reboot of the original.

Attention, Mortal Kombat fans! NetherRealm Studios has been secretly developing a new fighting game for several years, and now we’re about to spill the beans. However, it’s not just another installment; it’s a complete reboot of the original. Get ready for Mortal Kombat 1! The release date is already set for September 19, 2023, just four months after the official announcement. The developers, by choosing such a short marketing cycle, are demonstrating confidence in the game’s readiness without delays.

It’s important to know on which platforms Mortal Kombat 1 will be available. The game will be accessible on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, and PC. However, there is no information about its release on the previous-generation consoles, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. If these platforms are not mentioned on the official game website, fans who own PS4 and Xbox One should consider getting a new console.

The title Mortal Kombat 1 suggests a new storyline full of fresh ideas. The series is starting from scratch, and old plotlines should be forgotten. While the debut trailer of the game didn’t showcase gameplay, we learned some details. The combat system will be revamped along with new mechanics. Additionally, they promise the introduction of new modes, though details haven’t been revealed yet. However, it’s assumed that we will get the traditional Towers mode and possibly a variation of the Living Towers from Mortal Kombat 11. Such modes enhance players’ interest in single-player modes, allowing them to unlock gear for characters, as was the case in Injustice 2.

The storyline of Mortal Kombat 1 unfolds after the events of Mortal Kombat 11. The main character is Liu Kang, who defeated Kronika and prevented her from rewriting the universe. Now, as the God of Fire, Liu Kang decides to rectify all the changes made by Kronika, creating a new Mortal Kombat universe that combines familiar and entirely new elements.

So, who will we see in Mortal Kombat 1? In the trailer, we noticed Liu Kang, Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Kitana, Mileena, Shang Tsung, and Kung Lao. Moreover, the official game website states that Raiden and Johnny Cage will also appear in the game. Thus, nine characters have already been confirmed. But that’s not all, and we can expect both familiar fighters and entirely new ones. Will there be guest characters in the game? The answer to this question remains a mystery, but such a possibility always attracts the attention of series fans.

You’re probably wondering about the cost of Mortal Kombat 1. The game’s beta version is scheduled for August, and pre-orders start on May 19 at 8:00 PM Moscow time. The base version of the game will cost $70, the premium version will be $109, offering early access to 6 new characters after the game’s release and to 5 cameo fighters, as well as a Van Damme skin for Johnny Cage. The most dedicated fans can get the collector’s edition for $250, which includes a Liu Kang figurine and all the benefits of other versions. Every player who pre-orders will receive Shang Tsung as a playable character. Of course, pre-ordering also guarantees participation in the August beta version of the game. However, it’s currently unknown whether pre-orders will be available to Russian players.

So, get ready, Mortal Kombat fans, a new chapter in this exciting series awaits us. Mortal Kombat 1 promises to be an exhilarating game with a revamped combat system and captivating modes. Prepare to engage in epic battles with your favorite characters and perhaps some unexpected guests. Don’t waste time; pre-order and be one of the first to dive into the world of the new Mortal Kombat!
