“And then, obviously,” Boon said, “something goes wrong.” The results will be familiar characters who may be in very, very different circumstances. And the canonical ending of 2019’s MK11 made for a perfect springboard, with series mainstay-turned-fire-god Liu Kang in control of the flow of time and effectively resetting the universe. So is MK1 a reboot, a remake? “I think it could be in the category of a reboot.” Boon explained that the team at NetherRealm wanted to include key existing characters but tell a brand-new story.

While the visuals look stupendous, and the core fighting feels as tight as ever, the Kameo fighters are easily the star of this show. It’s a reintroduction of the entire IP, with one big, big gameplay twist. And what a long, bloody trip it’s been: Eleven mainline games over six console generations and somewhere between 75 and 80+ characters, depending on how and where you want to count them.Īnd now Mortal Kombat 1, which is looking to open the floodgates on that rich, gory history while serving as a chapter-one reset.
