Characters

Arguably the most crucial component of any fighting game is its crop of characters, and Mortal Kombat 1 introduces a compelling cast that's set to grow beyond launch day. We'll be keeping tabs on all the confirmed fighters here, as well as any Kameos, which are selectable side-characters which comprise a core tenet of the brawler's revamped gameplay.

We've got all the important inputs you need in our guide.
