Mortal Kombat 1 (PS5)

Mortal Kombat 1 is a fighting game belonging to the iconic franchise, developed by NetherRealm Studios. It is being published by Warner Bros. Games. Although MK1 is not a direct sequel to Mortal Kombat 11, it cannot be denied that the ending of MK11 opened up new possibilities for the creators…

Story
The events in MK1 will take place in an entirely new world created at the end of Mortal Kombat 11 by the Fire God Liu Kang. As emphasized by the game's co-creator, Ed Boon, "Mortal Kombat 1 is the beginning of a universe," and on the official website, we can find information that the story mode will consist of a completely new narrative and unexpected twists.

Gameplay
Bone-crushing impacts, oceans of blood, and realistic death animations are the trademarks of the cult classic series Mortal Kombat. So, it's evident that all of these elements could not be absent in the latest installment. There will also be spectacular and brutal Fatalities and the aerial combos known from Mortal Kombat: Armageddon.

Among the new features worth noting, Mortal Kombat 1 will introduce Kameo Fighters, which are essentially "reserve warriors" that can be summoned into battle at any moment during a duel.

With the creation of MK1, Ed Boon finally fulfilled his dream, and as a result, Jean-Claude Van Damme will appear in the game as a skin for Johnny Cage. The NetherRealm founder has dreamed of incorporating Van Damme into the game since 1992. Was it worth it? You can judge for yourselves!
