After many rumors and much teasing, NetherRealm Studios finally revealed Mortal Kombat 1 last month. As the title implies, the game is somewhat of a return to basics for the series, at least in terms of characters and story, with a focus on old favorites like Liu Kang, Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Raiden, Kung Lao, Kitana, Mileena, Shang Tsung, and Johnny Cage. What we didn’t see during the game’s announcement was any gameplay, with the debut Mortal Kombat 1 trailer being purely cinematic.
Well, today during the big Summer Game Fest 2023 kickoff show, we got a first look at Mortal Kombat 1 in action, and surprise surprise, the game is looking extremely bloody! Like, next-level completely ridiculous bloody. The trailer offers up some classic showdowns, including Kung Lao vs. Sub-Zero, Mileena vs. Kitana, and more, as well as a look at the new “Kameo” system. Basically, when you go into a fight, you pick a main character as well as a Kameo backup fighter, which you can call into battle at any time with the push of a single button. In the trailer, we see some characters like Sonya Blade and Sub-Zero in classic outfits, as well as some blasts from the past like Goro and Stryker. Oh, and yes, that is Jean Claude Van Damme voicing Johnny Cage this time around. If you’ve got a strong stomach, you can check out the debut MK1 gameplay, below.
