We’re just days away from NetherRealm Studios fighting game Mortal Kombat 1. To prepare for its launch, the studio posted a new trailer showing off some new content, which includes fatalities, mini-games, and more.

The trailer opens up with Liu Kang explaining how he’s destroyed the hourglass and has become the “keeper of time,” which allowed him to create a new timeline. As you get further in, we are given cutscenes on what we can expect from the campaign, which includes Sub-Zero and Scorpion fighting side by side as brothers, some of the cast members fighting, and even how the mini-games will play out.

Some mini-games will have you dodging a series of orbs coming toward you, breaking objects, or simply fighting someone while dodging attacks from creatures as you play. In addition, the trailer shows off a brutal fatality by Shang Tsung that was never seen before until now.

Mortal Kombat 1 is expected to drop later this week on September 14. It’ll be playable on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, PC, and Nintendo Switch.
