As one of the high-profile releases in the first wave of DLC fighters, Mortal Kombat 1 continues the NetherRealm tradition of themed launches. Mortal Kombat 11 featured 80s action heroes, while Mortal Kombat X delved into horror with characters like Leatherface, Alien, Jason, and The Predator. The upcoming DLC suggests a focus on brutal vigilante justice in line with Fire God Liu Kang’s theme.
Mortal Kombat 1 is scheduled for release on September 19 for Xbox Series X, PS5, Nintendo Switch, and PC. With its impressive lineup of characters and exciting gameplay, it is poised to offer fierce competition in an already excellent year for fighting games, alongside titles like Street Fighter 6 and Tekken 8.
