From the Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mortal_Kombat_1):
Mortal Kombat 1 is a 2023 fighting game developed by NetherRealm Studios and published by Warner Bros. Games. It is the twelfth main installment in the Mortal Kombat series, serving as both a sequel to Mortal Kombat 11 (2019) and the series' second reboot, following Mortal Kombat (2011).[3] The game was released for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S on September 19, 2023.
Mortal Kombat 1 received generally positive reviews from critics, though Megan Foxโs performance as Nitara garnered some criticism. The Nintendo Switch version was criticized for its graphics and technical issues.
Mortal Kombat 1 features a story mode, online multiplayer with rollback netcode, and offline gameplay. The game introduces a feature called Kameo Fighters, which provides assistance to the player during fights in a similar fashion to the tag assist fighters of the Towers of Time mode in Mortal Kombat 11 (2019). These characters are separate from the main roster, and are chosen before each fight. There are two types of assists provided by each Kameo Fighter: Summons, which can be performed while the player remains in one place, and Ambushes, which can be performed regardless of what the player is doing. They can also be called to perform their own Fatalities and Brutalities. In addition, the chosen Kameo Fighter also affects how much health the players will have in a fight.[4][5]
Fatal Blows, first introduced in Mortal Kombat 11, return with different functionality. These special moves can still be triggered when a player's health drops below 30% only, however in this game they are performed as collaborative offensive moves between a player and a Kameo Fighter, with each delivering an attack in tandem. Additionally, the most significant attack performed during the Fatal Blow features the X-ray effects last seen in Mortal Kombat X (2015).[6] Also returning is the Air Kombat combo system which was featured in both Mortal Kombat: Armageddon (2006) and the action spin-off Shaolin Monks (2005).[7]
For single-player, the game features the return of the plot-driven Story Mode and the traditional form of Towers mode from the previous games, while introduces the addition of the seasonal Invasion mode, an online mode combining fighting mechanics with board game and role-playing game elements.[8] The players are tasked to move around the board while completing various challenges on each space they move to, earning rewards such as skins, in-game currency, or concept art for completing the challenges. Each Invasion season lasts around six weeks and has its own board and theme.[9] For multiplayer, the versus modes include Local mode to play a match on the same console, Online mode to play against opponents all over the world, and Tournament mode to host a tournament with a unified rule set for the matches.[8]
After ceasing support for Mortal Kombat 11 (2019), NetherRealm Studios disclosed that it was working on a new project in July 2021. Johnny Cage voice actor Andrew Bowen indicated that the 12th installment was in development in a hastily deleted tweet.[11] In February 2023, Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav announced during a 2022 fourth-quarter earnings call that a twelfth installment in the series was set to be released later in that year.[12]
On May 18, 2023, NetherRealm Studios announced Mortal Kombat 1 with a release date of September 19, 2023. It is the second reboot of the series and is set in the New Era timeline created by Liu Kang after he attained godhood in Mortal Kombat 11.[13] NetherRealm Studios announced that those who preorder any version of the game for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S will receive access to a beta in August, and after the game launches, NetherRealm Studios will provide cross-play and cross-progression.[14] The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S versions of the game are being developed by NetherRealm Studios, the Windows version by QLOC, and the Nintendo Switch version by Shiver Entertainment and Saber Interactive.[7]
