Mortal Kombat 1 is coming out later this year, which NetherReralm Studios officially announced after it had already been leaked by WB Games.
This morning, WB Games and NetherRealm Studios made the formal announcement that Mortal Kombat 1 will be released later this year. Following the events from the 2019 title, in which (Spoiler Alert) Liu Kang has become a god and reset the timeline to start a new era, we now know that the most recent iteration of the series will take place in the present timeline. MK12 was originally revealed by the publisher early this year. He has brought back some historical figures for this new era, but he has also given them a new route to follow so that they can decide whether to live in peace or engage in combat. And as always, evil will exist when Shang Tsung makes his triumphant comeback. The contest will be published for PC and all three major consoles on September 19. Below, you'll find the trailer, further details on the release, and a few studio statements.
"NetherRealm's genre-defining Story Mode returns with an immersive cinematic narrative featuring surprising revisions to well-known rivalries and brand-new backstories for a diverse cast of legendary fighters, including Liu Kang, Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Raiden, Kung Lao, Kitana, Mileena, Shang Tsung, Johnny Cage, and many others. Additionally, Kameo Fighters, a distinctive cast of supporting characters that can aid in battles, will be included in Mortal Kombat 1 to provide players more gameplay options.
