Mortal Kombat 1 is back and it's as nasty and violent as ever! Beyond the newest trailer, NetherRealm Studios has revealed a few more updates, including its Invasion mode. During Gamescom Opening Night Live, a violent Mortal Kombat 1 trailer was released, unveiling several more playable characters. Not only that, but Sony helped to unveil an intriguing new single-player mode.
Long-time fans will be thrilled to see recurring villains Shao Khan and Sindel make a return, although in a slightly different role - Shao Khan is now a general serving under Sindel. Even more exciting, two more kameo fighters can be spotted in the trailer: Shujinko and Motaro, both of whom have been absent from the series for a long time.
In addition to the playable characters, Invasion mode is an intriguing new single-player experience like the main story, but a board game/role-playing game hybrid. Players will form a party of characters and move across a map, completing challenges along the way. It will also receive periodic updates with different invading factions and enemies. One example the PlayStation Blog gives is a Scorpion from an alternate reality.
Footage from the beginning of the game’s story mode has also been shared, revealing the main antagonists. Shang Tsung, who you'll need to pre-order to play as him, is one of the major threats for the story, while the other is Kronika. How she’s back is a mystery, but her dialogue suggests she remembers the previous timeline and is promising Shang Tsung the chance to become the all-powerful baddie he used to be.
Mortal Kombat 1 launches for Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC on September 19. Not only can gamers expect a violent and thrilling experience, but they'll also be able to acquire in-game currency and unlock things like concept art.
For those eager to get their hands on Mortal Kombat 1, it's time to stay tuned for updates, sign up for exclusive gaming content, and follow the latest releases before they're seen on the site.
