Mortal Kombat 1 is an upcoming fighting game developed by NetherRealm Studios and published by Warner Bros. Games. The game is set to be released for Windows, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and Nintendo Switch on September 19, 2023. It will be the 12th main game in the Mortal Kombat series and a sequel to Mortal Kombat 11. Mortal Kombat 1 will be the series' second reboot following the 2011 release.[1]

Gameplay

Mortal Kombat 1 has been confirmed to feature a story mode, online multiplayer with rollback netcode, and offline gameplay. The game will introduce a feature called Kameo Fighters, which will provide assistance to the player during fights. These characters will be separate from the main roster, and chosen before each fight.[2]

Characters

As of the game's announcement date, it has been revealed to feature reimagined versions of Liu Kang, Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Raiden, Johnny Cage, Kung Lao, Kitana, and Mileena. Shang Tsung will be offered as a pre-order incentive.[2] Six additional characters and five kameo fighters are planned for release as post-launch downloadable content.[2]

Development

After ceasing support for Mortal Kombat 11, NetherRealm Studios disclosed that it was working on a new project on July 2021. Johnny Cage voice actor Andrew Bowen indicated that the 12th installment was in development in a hastily deleted tweet.[3]

On May 18, 2023, NetherRealm Studios announced Mortal Kombat 1 with a release date of September 19, 2023. It is a reboot of the series and is set in the New Era timeline created by Liu Kang after he attained godhood in Mortal Kombat 11.[4] NetherRealm Studios announced that those who preorder any version of the game for the PS5 and Xbox Series will receive access to a beta in August, and after the game launches, NetherRealm will provide cross-play and cross-progression.[5] A skin for Johnny Cage based on the likeness of Jean-Claude Van Damme will be available as premium downloadable content.[6]
