Today at the Summer Games Fest, some gameplay was shared in a fantastic video during the live-stream event for Mortal Kombat 1. Characters that fans know and love will be returning in this game but in a new way with new storylines, says MK creator Ed Boon.

This new game takes place in a whole different timeline than Mortal Kombat 11, and characters will have some roles swapped over what fans might be used to. This is a whole new exciting start for Mortal Kombat.

The next Mortal Kombat game will be released this September, this title goes all the way back to the beginning and is called Mortal Kombat 1. Check out the gameplay below and see a full list of all the characters fans can expect to see this far.

Characters appearing in Mortal Kombat 1

Here are the characters we officially know will be appearing in Mortal Kombat 1 so far. This list will most likely be added to even more as time goes on and September gets closer, we could get some surprise appearances.

  • Scorpion
  • Sub-Zero
  • Liu Kang
  • Raiden
  • Kung Lao
  • Kitana
  • Mileena
  • Shang Tsung
  • Johnny Cage

Scorpion and Sub-zero seem to have been found by Lui Kang early and are helping him build a team for the next Mortal Kombat tournament. It seems like Johnny Cage has a new actor and that other characters have new backstories. Raiden doesn’t seem to be the God of Thunder he normally is. Instead, he has taken a role as a student proving himself.

We expect to see more explanations for these characters as time goes on. Until then, Mortal Kombat 1 will be released in September and will be released on all platforms, PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch. Mortal Komabt 11 is available for purchase today on the same platforms.
