The Summer Game Fest unveiled an extended trailer for Mortal Kombat 1, showcasing its violent and gritty gameplay. The game is a reboot of the universe, with Fire God Liu Kang ushering in a new timeline. Familiar characters return with updated origin stories and looks, including Scorpion and Sub-Zero, who are now brothers. Ed Boon, the creator of the franchise, introduced the new Kameo Fighter system, wherein players can call upon allies mid-combo for additional damage. Mortal Kombat 1 will release on September 19, 2021, across multiple platforms, including PC, PS5, Xbox Series S/X, and Nintendo Switch.
The gameplay trailer highlighted the game’s immersive arenas set in various locations, from an Asian restaurant to a luxurious villa reminiscent of Dead Island 2. The Fatalities are over-the-top, with gruesome scenes of skulls impaled by icicles, hearts ripped out, and opponents burned by bolts of electricity. The Kameo Fighter system allows players to choose a second roster of fighters that appear as a tag-team partner with the press of a button, offering a different set of moves based on the button combination used. While some characters like Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Sonya Blade, Jax, and Kano will be available at launch, a complete list of Kameo fighters remains undisclosed.
Professional martial artist and actor Jean-Claude Van Damme is featured as Johnny Cage in the Kombat Pack add-on, available in Premium and Kollector’s Edition. Players who pre-order the game gain early access to Shang Tsung and beta access in August, exclusively for PS5 and Xbox Series S/X players.
Overall, Mortal Kombat 1 promises to be a thrilling and action-packed gaming experience with its upgraded visuals, new combat system, and revamped storyline. Keep an eye out for more updates on its release date.
