If you’re a fan of Mortal Kombat, then you might have already decided to purchase the next major installment. We know that NetherRealm Studios are bringing out Mortal Kombat 1, and you can go ahead and make the pre-order. This will get you ready for the game when it officially launches.

The developers took to the official Mortal Kombat Twitter account and revealed that Mortal Kombat 1 will have beta access starting on August 18, 2023, and will go through August 21, 2023.
