![]() Mortal Kombat 1 has the potential to be running on Unreal Engine 5 which could really push what the current generation of consoles and PC are able to do with the material but this remains to be stated by the developer. What we really want to see is the character animations become more fluid as that's the main aspect where NetherRealm's fighting game series lags behind the likes of Street Fighter and Tekken. ![]() It would be great to see stage fatalities make a return after being absent from Mortal Kombat 11 until they were added to new stages in the Aftermath expansion in 2020. We're also likely to see Brutalities make a comeback as they have been a part of the last two games in the Mortal Kombat series as well, which take a little more skill and are situational for a flashier way to end fights. Naturally, fatalities return, which should act in the way they always have historically, which are cutscenes triggered with a button string to end a match. It's something that was praised by the community and allowed players a way to develop their own play style around the tournament-legal (or custom-created) moves list. This was a way to choose from a specific loadout of abilities (usually new special moves) and certain pre-set combos that would give you advantages and disadvantages when playing. It's unlikely that NetherRealm will break from this tradition as these moves play a pivotal role in changing the tide of matches in both casual and competitive play even in 2023. Now, it appears that X-ray moves are back alongside the new team-up supers which have been demonstrated.Īlso likely to make some kind of comeback in Mortal Kombat 1 is the variation system as seen in Mortal Kombat X and then iterated upon in Mortal Kombat 11. The first two entries of NetherRealm's trilogy used X-Ray moves which were replaced by Fatal Blows in the most recent game from 2019. This means a return of the super meter of old, but also a focus on team-up attacks, and more aggressive play.Įver since the original announcement trailer, Mortal Kombat 1 looked to be much more fluid than the likes of Mortal Kombat 11, embodying the speed of what we saw with Mortal Kombat X back in 2015. Things are a little more straightforward here as NetherRealm appears to be catering to the hardcore fighting game community with systems that you would find in other popular titles. ![]() Now that it's out, we know that Mortal Kombat 1 is a significantly faster game than the previous entries in the series with an emphasis on aerial combos and assists in the form of Kameo fighters. Alternative trailers Mortal Kombat 1 gameplay This new verticality combined with the significantly improved pacing, makes for a fighting game that’s sure to thrive in the competitive scene. There’s never really been the angle of air juggling in the series before, save for the likes of Scorpion’s air throw in the 2011 reboot. Early into the four-minute Summer Games Fest demo, we can see both Scorpion and Sub-Zero start a kombo on the ground before taking to the air and carrying on the assault before crashing back down again to continue. The focus on aerial combat in Mortal Kombat 1 is a real surprise. Both X-rays and screen-filling special moves also return This system allows for enhanced special attacks, with a combo breaker, and then an X-ray move. The regular super meter is making a return, which was last seen in Mortal Kombat X and brought into the series with the 2011 reboot. Mortal Kombat 1 is more conventional in terms of a competitive fighter. We also saw the Kameo fighters in action, acting as assists for things like combo breakers, combo extenders, and team super moves. Things are significantly faster than with its predecessor which is greatly appreciated. As well as giving us a proper look at the new art style and younger characters, most importantly the combat itself has seen a serious facelift. The extended Mortal Kombat 1 reveal as showcased at Summer Games Fest cemented how the upcoming fighter plays.
