Mortal Kombat is back and starting with a clean slate. Here's what you need to know about the fighter before it releases on September 19th.
Series co-creator Ed Boon says, "This is Mortal Kombat 1. It's a new beginning," and characters will be "re-introduced with new roles."
Developed by QLOC, the PC version's minimum and recommended requirements are forgiving, though the resolution and frame rate is unknown.
Returning fighters seemingly include Quan Chi, Ermac and Takeda, while the previously rumored Peacemaker and Homelander are also present.
The Story Mode will feature a new narrative with "unexpected twists on classic rivalries and original backstories" for its cast.
The Standard Edition retails for $69.99, while the Premium Edition is $109.99 with five days early access and six new characters post-launch.
Pre-orders for the fighting game go live on May 19th at 10 AM PST and include beta access and Shang Tsung as a playable character.
NetherRealm Studios confirms the next Mortal Kombat game will be unveiled tomorrow, with a leaker claim it'll probably be with a CG trailer.
On the back of plenty of teases and leaks, Mortal Kombat boss Ed Boon seems to be hinting at an imminent announcement.
In addition to the previously-rumoured Pacemaker and Homelander, the fighting title could also feature Conan the Barbarian as a DLC character.
The fighter seems to be a reboot of the franchise, and could be announced at the rumoured upcoming PlayStation Showcase.
The game will allegedly be available for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC, and Nintendo Switch, and will retail for $70 on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
Fatalities have always been over-the-top but some just plain jump the shark.
