How Mortal Kombat 1 is More than a Fresh Start for the Fighting Franchise
Mortal Kombat 1 is due to release next month and currently stands as one of the most-anticipated titles of Fall 2023. The title is set to usher in a new era for the legendary fighting franchise, simultaneously continuing the narrative of Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath and rebooting the series for a fresh start. In a series of pre-release reveal trailers, developer NetherRealm Studios has done a great job of re-introducing fan-favorite characters in new and exciting ways. While much of the hype surrounding Mortal Kombat 1 is directly tied to these trailers, the title’s original features, including significant gameplay improvements, the Kameo system, and a brand-new mode, prove that Mortal Kombat 1 offers fans far more than a fresh start to the timeline.
