Mortal Kombat is back. Following a four-year gap, Mortal Kombat 1 is set to deliver the same bloody action and easy-to-learn but hard-to-master controls that have made the fighting games so popular for over 30 years. Acting as a soft reboot and the twelfth main installment in the franchise, Mortal Kombat 1 pre-orders are now popping up all over the web, so here's what you need to know.
Developed by NetherRealm Studios, Mortal Kombat 1 will feature new reimagined versions of its legendary roster with a "brand-new cinematic narrative featuring unexpected twists on classic rivalries and original backstories for the wide-ranging cast of legendary fighters". Everyone from Liu Kang to Sub-Zero to Scorpion to Johhny Cage will appear – the latter will even get his own Jean-Claude Van Damme skin. Mileena will also return to the starting roster, while Kameo Fighters will be introduced to assist players during combat. It's got all the makings of another bonafide hit once more.

Mortal Kombat 1 will release across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch and PC on September 19th, 2023 with a Mortal Kombat PS4 version sadly absent. It will, however, feature a large roster with every Mortal Kombat 1 confirmed fighter on the roster rounded up, from Johhny Cage to Sub Zero.
