A Warner Bros Discovery executive had confirmed the existence of the twelfth installment in the Mortal Kombat franchise.
Mortal Kombat co-creator Ed Boon had been playful with the franchise’s fans on Twitter. The official YouTube channel had also been releasing teaser videos.
The enthusiastic fanbase was sent down a spiral when one of the teasers showed a little more than a grain of sand. The second teaser featured a ticking clock and suggested that Mortal Kombat 12 would be a reboot. The title will be called Mortal Kombat 1 instead of 12.
As per the latest teaser video, many new characters have been announced and confirmed to come to Mortal Kombat 1. The release date has been set for September 19th.
There are supposed to be some surprise characters to be included in the roster as well. Some special guests like Homelander from the popular show “The Boys” and Conan the Barbarian and Peacemaker are also expected to feature in the title’s roster, as per speculations.
As per the teaser trailer, Mortal Kombat will feature Liu Kang, Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Raiden, Kung Lao, Kitana, Mileena, Shang Tsung, Johnny Cage, and many others.
Tsung is set to be available as a preorder bonus, and Johnny Cage will have access to Jean-Claude Van Damme skin through the Kombat Pack DLC, set to be known as a “Kameo” fighter who can assist players during a match.
Players who purchase the game for preorder for the console can take part in a beta in August for PC, PS5, Switch, and Xbox Series X|S, with early access kicking off in September, depending on the game version.
The three main versions available are the USD 70 base version, USD 110 Premium Version, and a USD 250 Kollector’s Edition.
About Mortal Kombat 1
Developer NetherRealm Studios has officially revealed Mortal Kombat 1, the next chapter in its long-running fighting game series, which was released on September 19th. It takes on that name, rather than the expected Mortal Kombat 12 name, because–as previous teasers hinted at–Mortal Kombat 1 is a sort-of-reboot of the series and takes place in the New Era timeline established by Liu Kang after he ascended to godhood in 2019’s Mortal Kombat 11.
