NetherReal Studios and WB Games decided that today was a good day for a good Mortal Kombat 1 update and it is a new trailer which showcases new members of the Mortal Kombat 1 roster and some notable members of the Lin Kuei clan.
Sub-Zero is not alone and more members of the Lin Kuei are joining Mortal Kombat 1 and includes Smoke and Rain as playable fighters meanwhile, it is suggested that this reboot shows Sub-Zero (Bi-Han) trying to reestablish the Lin Kuei Order.
Also new supporting or Kameos characters were revealed and Sektor, Cyrax, Frost, and Scorpion, marking the first time since Mortal Kombat 3 (and only time counting MK3 Ultimate) that Scorpion is not included in canon of the lore of Mortal Kombat (Unless his alter ego Hanzo Hasashi is indeed the exact copy and ability, you can ignore this).
Despite that, it is possible to play alternate versions of the characters as the main fighter and vice-versa for Kameo.
Mortal Kombat 1 will be released on September 19, 2023 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S/X, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
There will be a Premium Edition and the traditional Kollector Edition (Nintendo and PC versions are not included in the Kollector Edition).
The Premium Edition will include all Standard Edition content, along with the Kombat Pack, early access to the game beginning Sept. 14, and 1,250 Dragon Krystals (in-game currency). The Kombat Pack will feature a Johnny Cage character skin with the likeness of famed actor and martial artist, Jean-Claude Van Damme (available at launch), early access to six new playable characters (available post-launch), and five new Kameo Fighters (available post-launch).
Meanwhile, The Kollector Edition will include all of the Premium and PLUS, a 16.5-inch Liu Kang sculpture designed by COARSE and an inspired Liu Kang in-game character skin, three exclusive art prints, a steel case, and 1,450 additional Dragon Krystals (2,700 total).
