The world became a better place once the noobs in the Government announced R18+ video games would finally become available down under way back in January 2013 - it's almost hard now to remember times before then... Can you?
The reason I say that is because Mortal Kombat's 12th offering is going back to the beginning with the announcement of Mortal Kombat 1 - set for release on September 19th on Xbox Series S|X, PS5, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Fans had been speculating which direction the Outworld makers would take the franchise, but it seems nostalgia highs are seeping into video game land as well.
Discover a reborn Mortal Kombat Universe created by the Fire God Liu Kang. Mortal Kombat 1 ushers in a new era of the iconic franchise with a new fighting system, game modes, and fatalities!
Featuring a hit list teaser of OG fan fav characters including Lui Kang, Kung Lao, Raiden, Kitana, Mileena and Shang Tsung [available as a playable character if pre-ordered] - all having the crap (and blood) beaten out of them, this latest entry is without a doubt going to be one of the goriest editions yet -especially for new platforms where you'll almost be able to taste the blood personally.
Take a look at the announcement trailer - including some gob-smackingly br00tal Fatalaties - guaranteed to have you pre-ordering instantly...
