With Mortal Kombat 1, NetherRealm Studios turns back the clock once again, this time refreshing the franchise timeline under the watchful eyes of God Liu Kang. We were also scheduled to get the game in a jiffy with a September 2023 release date set in its initial May announcement. That means character roster info came fast for this game. If you want to keep up on which Kombatants are new or returning for Mortal Kombat 1’s roster, we’ve got the full details here.
