NetherRealm Studios showed off the first gameplay footage for Mortal Kombat 1 during today’s Summer Game Fest event.
Mortal Kombat 1 takes place in a rebooted timeline. This means we’re seeing some new twists on classic characters.
The presentation showed off returning characters like Kung Lao, Lui Kang, Scorpion, Kenshi, Kitana, Mileena and Sub-Zero. It also showed off the new Kameo system, which lets a player call in other characters for an attack, like Kano, Goro, Stryker and Sonya Blade.
The gameplay video also showed off the return of X-Ray attacks and Fatalities. The fighting game is set for release on September 19 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch and PC.
