The Mortal Kombat 1 limited beta is on right now for pre-order players, and fans can’t stop hyping over Johnny Cage.
If you clicked on that headline, we probably don’t have to explain to you that « Mortal Kombat 1 » is in fact the newest game in the Mortal Kombat series, and not the first one. This isn’t quite as stupid as it sounds; the story goes that after the events of Mortal Kombat 11’s Aftermath expansion, Liu Kang reset the timeline, and this is now a whole new universe for the second time, marking the third full reboot of the series.So, it’s Mortal Kombat 1 all over again, but this game is a far cry from a remake of the original. There are all kinds of new mechanics—including a Marvel-vs-Capcom-like assist system in the form of Kameo Fighters—as well as a much bigger cast than that original game. The first Mortal Kombat game, released in 1992, had just seven playable characters along with non-playable fighters Goro, Shang Tsung, and the extremely-hidden Reptile.
