Mortal Kombat 1 is one of the most anticipated titles of this year, and rightly so! The upcoming title will carry forward the lore of the iconic video game franchise. Now that the release date is exactly a month away, there’s some exciting news for fans.
The pre-order beta for Mortal Kombat 1 is currently live on PS5 and Xbox Series X and will be available till August 21st. The beta is accessible to anyone who pre-ordered the game. However, no plans have been announced for a PC or Switch beta.
The beta version of Mortal Kombat 1 features online versus multiplayer mode and the Tower mode. Players can choose out of the six playable characters available– Johnny Cage, Kenshi, Kitana, Li Mei, Liu Kang, and Sub-Zero. The Kameo Fighters roster is even smaller, featuring only Frost, Jax, Kano, and Sonya.
The pre-order beta also has only two stages to choose from. However, the final game will feature several fighters, characters, and stages. The beta is just a scaled-down version of the original game.
The pre-order beta has players applauding Johnny Cage’s epic combos and sunglass finishers. The classic fan-favorite is turning out to be a popular choice among players. Many are enjoying their time experimenting with Johnny ever since the beta went live.
For those who can’t wait to dive into the game, Mortal Kombat 1 is available on early access five days before release. So, if you purchase the Premium Edition ($109.99) or the Kollector’s Edition ($249.99), you can play the game on September 14th instead of September 19th when it finally launches.
About Mortal Kombat 1
Developer NetherRealm Studios has officially revealed Mortal Kombat 1, the next chapter in its long-running fighting game series, which was released on September 19th. It takes on that name, rather than the expected Mortal Kombat 12 name, because–as previous teasers hinted at–Mortal Kombat 1 is a sort-of-reboot of the series and takes place in the New Era timeline established by Liu Kang after he ascended to godhood in 2019’s Mortal Kombat 11.
