Mortal Kombat 1 has now officially been announced. Pre-orders start on May 19, 2023, and the game is expected to release on September 19, 2023. This gives enough time for the fighting game community player base to be hyped.

Prima Games is here to deliver the list of all MK1 characters that have been confirmed so far.
