PSA: Mortal Kombat 1's Entire Story Mode Streamed Days Before Launch

thegamer.com:

We've had a bunch of Mortal Kombat 1 leaks lately, but this might be the worst one yet. Somehow, a content creator managed to get hold of a copy of the game early, and proceeded to stream himself playing the story mode. Spoilers are being shared online, so watch out for story details if you want to go in blind.

Clips are being taken down by copyright holder, Warner Bros. Games, but not before they can be backed up and shared by others. Anyone waiting for launch day might want to steer clear of Twitter in particular right now, as fans discuss story elements streamed by the player who secured the game days before release.

Twitter and Twitch user OfficialK3G appears to be the source of the leaked footage, but it's not completely clear how he even managed to secure a copy of the game early. The only explanation he's offered is that he "knows" someone with access, who then presumably passed the copy onto him. Given that OfficialK3G has now broken whatever embargo would have been agreed upon, he probably won't be getting any other games from Warner Bros. in the future.

Speaking of, don't worry, we're not going over any story beats here. But we can't say the same for the Mortal Kombat community, as clips and spoilers are shared around. Some have been copyright claimed already, but now, they're popping up faster than they can be taken down, so social media isn't safe for fans hoping to avoid all of the leaks.

Thankfully, there isn't too much longer to wait now. Mortal Kombat 1 launches on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and Nintendo Switch on September 19. Anyone with a premium edition of the game will get it a few days earlier on September 14, so
