On the FAQ page, they confirm a bunch of characters--Liu Kang, Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Raiden, Kung Lao, Kitana, Mileena, Shang Tsung (pre-order bonus), and JOHNNY CAGE.

The BEST MK reveal trailer in years.

No rap shit.

No "two guys beating each other."

Just pure carnage and actual tidbits on the game's story.

Agreed 100%.

I hate the name 'Mortal Kombat One'. Maybe it's just my PTSD from the Xbox One, though.

Gonna be real, I'm not feeling it so far.

I've given up on believing the story will be good, so this time the gameplay and mechanics will have to impress me tenfold.

Since the trailer implies we'll be choosing our own path, I expect to see hella customization. For now, I'm set on getting the game next year when it's half off.

Ok so we have ANOTHER timeline rebirth. I was hoping not to see god Liu Kang this early as it feels a bit too cheesy. His inclusion should have just been hinted end game. I still say the Titans are koming. Would've preferred digitized sprites as a throwback. Granted we haven't seen any actual gameplay, most likely it will all be 3D rendered if the trailer is any indication. I just don't feel those old school vibes at all which I was hoping for with this new MK1. Time will tell (no pun intended).

Sub-Zero and Scorpion both look like s**t, they look even worse than in MK11, they are now swaping them even deeper from north-east Asians to south-east Asians, and with now race-swapping Raiden too, they made the woke agenda complete. And all this multiverse bs looks like a cheap Marvel ripoff which in itself is trash and it ruined the Marvel. They are trying to shove all this down our throats with blood and gore but b&g is not the magic card anymore and it won't save it.
MK11 was the last MK I bought and when I saw what they did to it, I did not spend more money on the DLCs and on the Ultimate pack. They fooled me once with MK11 but they wont fool me twice, I will definitely not spend money on this.

I have to agree, getting a glimpse of the story setup is a welcome change of pace.

First of all... I really love the trailer. It started right were MK11 ends. I also love some of the new designs like Raiden, Kung Lao, Sub Zero (except the mask), Kitana etc. But I don't like that almost every asian has the same face and maybe Lui Kang as a firegod could be a little bit to much if you see the other character and their look.

But overall I am pleased with what I saw and myself enjoyed MK11 a lot. So I stay curios about the Showcase from Sony to see finally some gameplay because this matters a lot right now since MK11 didn't have the best.

Wonder what the making choices is about?

Liu Kang said World, so I'm almost thinking MMO Konquest vibes or something like Dragonball Xenoverse, with the Hub map, and different fight/opponent choices are at various locations around that hub with Player/NPC Allies n Raid Bosses n community type stuff.

I'm probably WAY off.

Ka-Tra

i see a lot my 2021 movie inspired in the outfits espially raiden new look

LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOO. This is unbelievable.

Are you seriously bothered by a Japanese god looking Japanese? lol

Anyway, I'm also confused as to why Shang Tsung is - once again - a preorder bonus, given the trailer presents him as central to the game's story. Doesn't make much sense.

Hopefully they change their philosophy a bit and have him be the character that's unlocked by playing the story mode. However, it definitely makes sense to make him the pre-order character from a business standpoint. Shang's popularity will entice people to pre-order the game, which will drive sales better than most other choices would.

"Q: How much does Mortal Kombat 1 cost?

I was asked in another thread my take on this game...

I LOVED the trailer. It felt a lot more like Mortal Kombat.

I LOVE the respect given to the Asian culture, almost everyone confirmed are Asian.

I HOPE the Switch version will be playable and way better than buggy MK11.

I HATE that NRS is reinventing the wheel... again. This is now officially the SECOND REBOOT GAME, so is that to say we have have yet another REBOOT TRILOGY? We have had essentially THREE versions of MK1 - the first one in 1992, the awesome MK9 game in 2011 and now this in 2023.

I HATE we haven't been given much "official news" about this game - back in the day news broke immediately of sequels and within a year or so we knew alot about the game - we are SIX MONTHS AWAY and we know very little - we can see the cinematics MAY be out of this world but NOTHING on the gameplay.

I RESPECT that NRS has basically seen their fans HATE the 3D ERA with a passion and have ignored it (I'm talking MKDA to MKA).

I LOVE the rumors from last week were TRUE and that many Vloggers LITERALLY DREW ATTENTION DOUBTING THESE RUMORS, aka that the game would be called MK1 and he doubted it would be available for Switch.

I AM STILL BITTER about MK11 leaving us with an incomplete game and teasing us more areas throughout the Krypt.

MK1 looks like it will COST A LOT OF MONEY OVER TIME and I am not sure if I feel like visiting microtransactions or the concept of "grinding" again.

I HATE there are "pre-order bonus characters" especially when they've been a part of MK since day one - so if we choose to wait it out, does that mean we lose out on playing as Shang Tsung?

I HATE the console-only skin, this means we will be left AGAIN with an UNFINISHED game - there are soo many skins and accessories we won't be getting in MK11, so I HOPE they greatly reduced what is available this time instead of teasing us the world or near-impossible-to-get "Kombat League" or "Ko-Op Play" skins.

I AM EXCITED to see more from this game before I can commit to anything else about it.

First impression is it looks great!!

I am hoping it's a proper sequel to MK11 rather than a reboot of the early 90s MK1. Raiden can sit this one out.

I am very pleased they stuck closer to the graphics of MK11 instead of trying something completely different or reverting back to the style of X or 9.

I hope the gameplay sticks closer to 11 and even 9 is fine too rather than reinventing the wheel or going back to X style.

Mortal Kombat 11 was perfection on all levels, hopefully Mortal Kombat 1 will continue that trend and surpass it.

When a character of over 30 years gets this radical make-over I don't blame someone taking an issue with it after this long lol.

All the new looks reminds me of the movie from Mortal Kombat... well... the latest one :) And when I think of characters who should come back from the 3d era and would fit into this new world.... I would call Ashrah!

Oh and what comes to my mind... If this is a reboot and tells a different story then it could be the original Sub Zero and Noob would be out.

The issue here is referring to it as a radical makeover, when it's really a long overdue correction.

One of the few things I liked about MKX was how Scorpion and Sub-Zero were finally given their accurate Asian appearances. I was terribly disappointed that Raiden wasn't included in that change. I was very pleased to see Raiden portrayed by an Asian actor in the recent Mortal Kombat film and commended the film's team for being willing to get it right.

In any case, Raiden finally having an Asian appearance in the games is only shocking if (a) you never knew he is based on the Japanese god Raijin or (b) you never knew Mortal Kombat in general pulls from Japanese mythology.

Are they modelled from the same actors as in MK11? To me, Liu Kang and Kitana look the same, just with improved graphics..

I dont really agree but hey ho.
