Mortal Kombat 1: A fresh start for the legendary fighting game series

Mortal Kombat 1 has been officially announced and is set to release in September 2023. It is a series reboot that will present the fighters in a "new interpretation" and a newly created world. The characters, including Liu Kang, Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Raiden, Kung Lao, Kitana, Mileena, Shang Tsung, and Johnny Cage, will have new backstories, motivations, designs, and abilities. However, the bloody fights and brutal fatalities will remain intact.

Mortal Kombat 1 will offer more "story mode" content in the regular gameplay and introduce a "Kameo Fighters" feature: partner characters will support players during fights, expanding the gameplay possibilities. Rumors suggest that guest characters such as Homelander (The Boys), Peacemaker (The Suicide Squad), and Conan the Barbarian could be integrated into the game in this way.

The game will be released on September 19, 2023 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Windows PC, and Nintendo Switch. You can purchase Mortal Kombat 1 on these platforms both physically and digitally. Don't forget to secure your Mortal Kombat 1 key at Keyfuchs.
