Mortal Kombat is back, and it’s more brutal than ever. The iconic fighting game franchise has been reborn with Mortal Kombat 1, a reboot that also serves as a sequel to the events of Mortal Kombat 11. If you’re confused by the timeline shenanigans, don’t worry, you’re not alone. The story of Mortal Kombat is so convoluted that even the developers have given up on making sense of it. Instead, they’ve decided to embrace the chaos and create a new universe where anything goes.
A New Fighting System
Mortal Kombat 1 is not just about rewriting history. It’s also about the gameplay with new features and mechanics that will make you feel every punch, kick, and stab. Here are some of the new additions that will make Mortal Kombat 1 the more intense than ever before.
Kameo Fighting Partners
One of the most innovative features of Mortal Kombat 1 is the Kameo Fighting Partners system. This allows you to pick from a unique roster of helpful characters who will assist you in fights. These characters are not playable, but they can provide support by attacking, defending, healing, or distracting your opponent. You can choose from familiar faces like Johnny Cage, Sonya Blade, Raiden, and more, as well as some surprising guests like Batman, Wonder Woman, Freddy Krueger, and even Claude Van Damme. The original inspiration for Johnny Cage is finally making his debut in Mortal Kombat 1.
New Game Modes
Mortal Kombat 1 offers a variety of game modes for different tastes and preferences. You can play the story mode to experience the epic saga of Liu Kang’s new era and the threats that arise from it. You can play the arcade mode to test your skills against a series of opponents and unlock endings for each character.
New Fatalities
No Mortal Kombat game is complete without fatalities, the gruesome finishing moves that have become synonymous with the series. Mortal Kombat 1 takes fatalities to a whole new level with more variety, detail, and creativity than ever before. You can witness some of the most horrific and hilarious ways to end your opponent’s life, such as ripping their spine out, smashing their head with a hammer, burning them alive, or even making them explode with a fart. Mortal Kombat 1 is not afraid to mix humor with horror in its fatalities.
The game is set to release on September 19, 2023, for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and Stadia. If you’re a fan of fighting games or just enjoy watching people get mutilated in creative ways, you won’t want to miss this game.
