Mortal Kombat 1 Gameplay
Sadly Netherrealm hasn’t shown us any gameplay footage or a Gameplay Trailer but they have confirmed that Mortal Kombat 1 will feature a completely new fighting system with new combo moves, finishing moves, lethal fatalities, etc. The developers also stated that Kameo fighters will also be featured in the game, Kameo fighters are a unique selection of partners who will assist the player during matches and will be chosen separately from the main roster of fighters.
If the developers bring in a new fighting system then it would be amazing. We hope that NetherRealm Studios don’t mess this up and deliver us smooth and stunning gameplay in Mortal Kombat 1. This was about the gameplay in Mortal Kombat 1 now we will discuss the Trailer of this game which was released a few days ago.
Mortal Kombat 1 Trailer
The Reveal Trailer for the new Mortal Kombat game was released a few days back and it looked really amazing. It featured some characters like Kung Lao, Scorpion, Sub Zero (who is believed to be Bi-Han), and Kitana but the main focus of the Trailer was on Liu Kang. We will provide you with the Reveal Trailer for the game down below.
The quote that Liu Kang says in the Trailer is “There is always something worth fighting for” and it could indicate that many villains could make a return but we would have to wait patiently for that until the game is out. This was it for the Trailer now let us jump on to the platforms on which Mortal Kombat 1 will be released.
Mortal Kombat 1 Platforms
NetherRealm Studios really know how to keep their fans happy as they will be releasing the game on all the next-gen platforms at there same time so one or two platform gamers won’t have to wait a couple more months for the game to be released on their console. The game will be released on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch.
Sadly PS4 and Xbox One X/S gamers won’t be able to enjoy the game on their consoles as PS4 and Xbox One aren’t really capable of running the game flawlessly. PS4 gamers could check out the Best multiplayer co-op games for PS4. We hope that the developers optimize that game well so that even mid-range gaming PCs could run the game flawlessly at a high refresh rate.
