Mortal Kombat has always been a titan in the gaming world. Since the franchise's debut in 1992, the series has captivated millions with its unique blend of riveting if controversial gameplay and a surprisingly intriguing storyline that, believe it or not, is actually interconnected across multiple reboots. Of course, the main highlight is the wide range of engaging characters, which Mortal Kombat 1 will also feature.

Despite being a pseudo-reboot, Mortal Kombat 1 won't feature the same 7 playable characters as the original game.
