Mortal Kombat 1 Release Date: Earlier this year, Mortal Kombat 1 generated a great deal of online buzz. It resembled Scorpion’s quick movements! They told us that the series is starting fresh with a new parallel universe, which implies new character designs.
The gameplay appeared to be fresh and engaging, particularly the tag-and-assist-based Kameo Fighter system. Recently, on August 22 at Gamescom, they revealed a new trailer and confirmed additional characters for the game.
Since the game will be released in less than a month, we’d like to share everything we know about Mortal Kombat 1 here.

The verified release date for Mortal Kombat 1 is September 19, 2023, according to the developers. We trust no delays will occur!
Therefore, there is little time remaining before the intense conflicts commence. Now is the time to catch up on the lengthy and intricate story of the series before the release of the next game.

Which Platforms and Consoles Support Mortal Kombat 1?
Mortal Kombat 1 is available for PlayStation 5, Xbox One X/S, Microsoft Windows (via Epic Games Store and Steam), and Nintendo Switch. If you own a PlayStation 4 or Xbox One, you will be unable to play this latest soft reboot of Mortal Kombat 1.
