A new Mortal Kombat game with a possible reboot for the series has been teased in last couple months. The new Mortal Kombat game will be available for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC on September 19, 2023.
NetherRealm Studios has released an official announcement trailer and confirmed the new game is a soft reboot, picking up from where Mortal Kombat 11 has left off. The official FAQ section on the Mortal Kombat 1 website says, “The game will introduce a reborn Mortal Kombat Universe that has been created by the Fire God Liu Kang, featuring reimagined versions of iconic characters as they’ve never been seen before, along with a new fighting system, game modes, bone crushing finishing moves, and more.”
Mortal Kombat 1 will also introduce a new mechanic called Kameo Fighters. Kameo Fighters are a unique roster of partner characters to assist during matches, creating expanded gameplay possibilities for players. These characters are chosen separately from the main roster of fighters.
The Mortal Kombat 1 Standard Edition will be available physically and digitally for $69.99 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC, including Steam and Epic Games Store.
