NetherRealm Studios is pulling a soft reboot of the mother of all fighters with Mortal Kombat1. While details on the latest entry in the fighting game franchise are still scarce, the game has a planned launch date of Sept. 19, will feature a beta taking place sometime in August, and its roster will include some of the most recognizable faces from the franchise.
So far, the confirmed list of characters includes classic fighters like Liu Kang, Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Raiden, Kitana, Mileena, and Johnny Cage. Shang Tsung has also been confirmed as a bonus character for all pre-orders of the game. While no retailer-specific pre-order bonuses have been announced yet, it is confirmed that pre-ordering the game for consoles will get you access to the beta.
Here’s where you can pre-order every edition of the game ahead of its Sept. 19 launch date.
The $69.99 standard edition of Mortal Kombat 1 will be available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, and PC for both Steam and the Epic Games Store. As we previously mentioned, reserving the standard edition will also get you access to Shang Tsung as a playable bonus character when the game launches on Sept. 19.
Right now, you can pre-order physical copies from GameStop, or reserve a digital copy at the Xbox, PlayStation, or Nintendo digital storefronts.
