Mortal Kombat 1 is set to release in the fall of 2023. Many fans of the series are eagerly awaiting to get their hands on the latest entry, which comes with a new roster of reimagined versions of classic characters. We got to play the Mortal Kombat 1 Beta when it was live on consoles and shared our impressions of the MK1 beta. But things are going to get better for Mortal Kombat 1 with the official reveal of the Kombat Pack 1 during San Diego Comic Con. And Mortal Kombat fans are excited about it.
The first Kombat Pack for Mortal Kombat 1 will come with new guest fighters from Invincible, Peacemaker, and The Boys shows. Getting the Kombat Pack will allow players to use characters like the powerful Omni-Man, DC’s brash Peacemaker, and the diabolical Homelander. Each character will be voiced by their respective actor from the shows they come from, so expect to hear trash talk from John Cena, Anthony Starr, and J.K Simmons. During the reveal at San Diego Comic Con, the crowd was incredibly excited at each fighter’s reveal during the teaser trailer.
In addition to these guest fighters, Mortal Kombat 1 will see the return of classic Mortal Kombat characters Ermac and Quan Chi, as well as the return of Takeda from Mortal Kombat X. While the reveal did announce the characters, no gameplay from any of them was shown. While there’s a lot of speculation about how the guest fighters will play or how well they’ll mix with the rest of the roster, we’ll have to wait for another trailer as we get closer to the game’s release.
Besides the Kombat Pack 1 reveal, Mortal Kombat 1 also received a new trailer with story details and new character reveals. Those who are fans of the 3D era games will be pleased to see characters like Lei Mei, Darrius, and Tanya make their return to the series. But the trailer also showed the inclusion of Baraka and Khamelon as well. As for what each character will be within the game, both Darius and Khamelon appear to be Kameo fighters, while the others are fully playable on the roster.
There’s still plenty of time for Netherrealm Studios to announce and showcase more of the game before release. Many Mortal Kombat fans are curious to see just how the game will implement the highly-anticipated Jean-Claude Van Damme alternate version of Johnny Cage. For those unaware, the character of Johnny Cage was originally inspired by Jean-Claude Van Damme, when the series was going to be centered around the action star before being scrapped and rebranded into the Mortal Kombat series we know today. For now, we’ll have to wait patiently. Mortal Kombat 1 is set to release on September 19th for all consoles and PC.
