Read details on the game below:
The video showcases the dynamic in-game action through a variety of characters and bone-krushing kombat, while also spotlighting the new Kameo Fighter system which brings a unique roster of characters into the mix to assist during matches – all set against the backdrop of an original track entitled “Fatal (Mortal Kombat 1)” by Grammy-nominated artist ZHU.
The trailer provides a fresh look at several legendary fighters, along with narrative hints about their backgrounds that offer a glimpse into what the Mortal Kombat 1 story holds. Liu Kang has restarted history by crafting a New Era for the sake of peace, while Mileena, twin sister of Kitana and rightful heir to Outworld’s throne, has been infected by a dreaded and lethal disease. Lin Kuei warriors and brothers Scorpion and Sub-Zero fight for the future of the clan, while Earthrealm champions Raiden and Kung Lao fight for family and honor. Johnny Cage, who is more concerned with staying relevant in the eyes of his fans, fights for his own vanity. Also joining the main roster is Kenshi Takahashi, who is on a quest to retrieve the revered sword, Sento, and restore his family’s name.
Additionally, the video features various Kameo Fighters, such as Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Sonya Blade, Kano, Goro, Kung Lao, Stryker, and Jackson “Jax” Briggs. Each Kameo Fighter is based on a klassic version of the character pulled from over 30 years of Mortal Kombat history and is shown performing offensive and support-based moves, including devastating Fatal Blows, brutal Fatalities, and defensive Breakers.
Mortal Kombat 1 will launch for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store on September 19.

Looks good and as violent as ever.
Compared to the new street fighter and tekken this is looking a bit bland, doesn't look bad but I was hoping for something more.
They're actually naming it Mortal Kombat 1? I just thought it was going to be a reboot, not literally called MK1. So what are they going to call the REAL MK1? MK1-1? Doesn't make much sense lol.
Whether people are currently playing original or not, it's still confusing when discussing the franchise. Now, instead of simply saying Mortal Kombat 1, we're going to have to say the original Mortal Kombat, or Mortal Kombat 2023... or something else. Same with writing about it. Now, I'm going to have to use parenthesis and put the damn year in there every time I mention it. Sigh.
Maybe I'll just do what I do with Xbox (Xbox, Xbox 2, Xbox 3, Xbox 4 etc.) and call it MK12 anyway.
MK is what truly got me into video games 30 years ago. Hurts me to see the garbage it has become. Even the x-ray moves were better made in MK9. Btw, I miss the sexy female characters from MK9... that's definitely over, apparently...
Looks more like "Injustice 3: MK Edition". Even for free, I wouldn't want it. I have too much respect for the old MK games and this game (and the 2 last MK games) spits on them. I hate Boon and Warner Bros for that!
