A new era of Mortal Kombat has arrived: the developers of NetherRealm have released the trailer for the new installment of the legendary fighting game and revealed the release date for Mortal Kombat 1.

A new Mortal Kombat title has been officially announced.

Here’s what we know

The trailer for Mortal Kombat 1 – the title of the fighting game – shows how familiar characters have found a peaceful coexistence after the events of the previous installment, but the romance has been shattered by a new enemy. With his usual brutality, he eliminated many heroes and challenged the remaining characters.

As expected, Mortal Kombat 1 will be a reboot of the series, as indicated by the voiceover, which speaks of a “new era”.

When can we expect it?

Mortal Kombat 1 will be released on September 19 for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and Nintendo Switch, with a beta test for PlayStation and Xbox gamers in August.

Mortal Kombat 1 pre-orders will begin on May 19, and one of its bonus features will be Shang Tsung, a playable character from the fighting game.
