NetherRealm Studios, the mastermind behind the Mortal Kombat series, has recently unveiled the first gameplay footage (embedded above) of Mortal Kombat 1. A major hit at the Summer Game Fest, this newly unveiled title is already setting pulses racing within the gaming community.
The iconic fighting game franchise that has captured the hearts of gamers since 1992 is now reimagined and set to revolutionize the virtual fighting arena. The highly anticipated reboot was first announced last month, with a release date set for September 19.
This newest installment in the franchise offers a surprise crafted by the Fire God Liu Kang. It promises to redefine how gamers experience their favorite characters by introducing never-before-seen versions of these beloved personalities.
NetherRealm Studios is developing the game for the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles. At the same time, the PC and Nintendo Switch versions are being created by QLOC and Shiver Entertainment/Saber Interactive under NetherRealm’s supervision. This varied development team ensures that each platform’s unique capabilities and experiences are fully optimized, promising a superior gaming experience irrespective of one’s choice of console.
As a nod to the game’s dedicated fanbase, those who invest in the Premium Edition or Kollector’s Edition of Mortal Kombat 1 will be treated to early access to the game from September 14, five days before its official release. This gives ardent fans a chance to dive into the new universe ahead of the rest of the world.
Moreover, gamers who pre-order the title for PS5 or Xbox Series X/S will receive exclusive access to the beta test, slated to happen in August. This enables players to have a sneak peek of the game and provides an opportunity for the developers to incorporate feedback and make last-minute enhancements before the official release.
