Mortal Kombat 1 was a standout game during this week’s Summer Game Fest. It was certainly my favorite hands-on demo from the Los Angeles-based Play Days. I’m looking forward to the full release on September 19 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch and PC.

The reboot features familiar Mortal Kombat flash and brutality, but it also has some notable new features. This includes Kameo fighters, a new twist on the assist fighter mechanic that we’ve seen before in the genre.
