Mortal Kombat 1 is slated to be released on Septemfor the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch, and PC. This seems to imply that there's an even bigger villain somewhere in the story. It's interesting to note that Boon was unwilling to divulge who the main antagonist of the Mortal Kombat 1 story is considering the role that Shang Tsung played during the first Mortal Kombat 1 trailer. In particular, it's noted that characters within Mortal Kombat 1, both heroes and villains, now have completely different relationships. Kameos seen so far include Kano, Sonya, Jax, Kung Lao, Stryker, Goro, Sub-Zero, and Scorpion.Įd Boon would also go on to talk about how Mortal Kombat 1's lore had drastically changed since the events of Mortal Kombat 9, Mortal Kombat X, and Mortal Kombat 11. Based on the gameplay that we've seen so far, there are 16 Kameo slots of the Kameo select screen. The developers even ensured that it would be a simplified system as it could be activated with a simple press of a button.īoon is apparently expecting there to be between 15 and 20 Kameos in Mortal Kombat 1 on launch day with more on the way via DLC. Needless to say, the Kameo system seemed like it addressed both ideas. Eventually, the developers considered the 2v2 Tag mode from Mortal Kombat 9 even though it was a mode that was rarely played, especially at tournaments. However, Ed Boon ended up pushing for a system that could be shared by every fighter. As an example, this would've meant that Sonya could've had accessed to a drone that would augment her attacks. Initially, the design team conceived of an idea of giving each characters modifiers that were unique for each fighter. Based on this, it seems we could be in store for a surprise there.Īdditionally, Boon also talked about how the Kameo system came to be in Mortal Kombat 1. Oddly though, Boon was apparently tight-lipped about Mortal Kombat 1's online features. But we’re gonna have a whole new system for unlocks.' 'We have a whoooole new system,' declared Boon. Additionally, he has teased that something else will be replacing it.

However, Ed Boon has outright stated that the Krypt will not be returning in Mortal Kombat 1. Within this single player mode, players were able to unlock additional content hidden in the game. The mode has been such a staple within the Mortal Kombat series that it returned for Mortal Kombat: Deception, Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, Mortal kombat 9, Mortal Kombat X, and Mortal Kombat 11. The Krypt was a mode first introduced in Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance.
