Over the course of a handful of weeks, NetherRealm Studios has managed to reveal the next installment for Mortal Kombat – Mortal Kombat 1 – and prepare its players for the release come this September. Atop of that, pre-orders are also live featuring the number of editions available to get at launch including Sheng Tsung as a bonus for purchasing ahead.

Additionally, the developer featured new gameplay for the game at Summer Game Fest which only fueled the excitement as the team issues the best looking game yet for the franchise. And with these new kombat visuals also features a taxing download requirement for the game too. On PC, recommended specifications notes at least 100 GB of space is necessary to install Mortal Kombat 1.

Recently, a new ‘Lin Kuei’ trailer was uploaded expanding further on the new story for Mortal Kombat 1 and featuring the addition of returning characters Rain & Smoke. You can watch the trailer in the video below:

“Revealed in a new trailer focused on Scorpion and Sub-Zero’s struggle to establish the Lin Kuei’s purpose in Liu Kang’s new Mortal Kombat Universe, the video introduces Smoke, a fellow member of the ancient warrior clan with a mastery of stealth and practical magic. With deep ties to Scorpion and Sub-Zero, Smoke has made the clan’s mission his own and joins his Lin Kuei brethren in defense of Earthrealm,” the description reads, as per Gematsu.

“The trailer also provides a first look at Rain, the High Mage of Outworld who has honed his craft of water magic into a fierce weapon and now hopes to learn the realms’ darkest and most powerful sorcery. Additionally, Sektor, Cyrax, Frost, and Scorpion can all be seen in the video as new Kameo Fighters, which provide a wide range of support moves and abilities during matches.”

Mortal Kombat 1 ships on September 19, 2023 for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
