Mortal Kombat 1 is both the 12th fighting game and 23rd installment in the Mortal Kombat series developed by NetherRealm Studios and published by Warner Bros. Games. The game is set to be released for Windows, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch on September 19, 2023.

The game is a follow-up to Mortal Kombat 11. The game is expected to be a soft reboot of the franchise, the second overall reboot of the series after Mortal Kombat (2011)

Mortal Kombat 1 is an upcoming fighting game developed by NetherRealm Studios and published by Warner Bros. Games. It will be the twelfth main installment in the Mortal Kombat series, serving as both a sequel to Mortal Kombat 11 (2019) and the series' second reboot, following Mortal Kombat (2011).[3] The game is set to be released for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S on September 19, 2023.

Set after the events of Mortal Kombat 11 and its Aftermath expansion, Fire God Liu Kang creates a new universe in his own image. Though not everything in his new universe is as perfect as he planned, Liu Kang assembles a clique of warriors from different realms to battle a familiar threat from the past.

After ceasing support for Mortal Kombat 11, NetherRealm Studios disclosed that it was working on a new project in July 2021. Johnny Cage voice actor Andrew Bowen indicated that the 12th installment was in development in a hastily deleted tweet.[6] In February 2023, Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav announced during a 2022 fourth-quarter earnings call that a twelfth installment in the series was set to be released later in that year.[7]

On May 18, 2023, NetherRealm Studios announced Mortal Kombat 1 with a release date of September 19, 2023. It is the second reboot of the series and is set in the New Era timeline created by Liu Kang after he attained godhood in Mortal Kombat 11.[8] NetherRealm Studios announced that those who preorder any version of the game for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S will receive access to a beta in August, and after the game launches, NetherRealm Studios will provide cross-play and cross-progression.[9] The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S versions of the game are being developed by NetherRealm Studios, the Windows version by QLOC, and the Nintendo Switch version by Shiver Entertainment and Saber Interactive.[4]

In August 2023, Dave Bautista appeared in a trailer for the game, homaging the 1993 "Mortal Monday" commercial for the original Mortal Kombat.[10] The following month, Megan Fox was revealed to be voicing Nitara.[11]
