Rumour: Mortal Kombat 1 Is the Next Main Entry on PS5

So... the leak is what the teaser told us and that there will be 3 standard versions?
Not exactly sure what was "leaked" here. Console versions? This "leak" is more an educated guess than a leak, but ok.

@Nem And the Mortal Kombat 1 name is new.

I would rather they just kept with the correctly numbered entries personally. I’ll call it MK12 no matter what it ends up being tagged as.

What kind of leak is this supposed to be? There's nothing here we couldn't guess or expect... Ok, movin' on.

You had me at no-last Gen versions planned! Thank the lord 🙏🏻

So it's like MK9 again?

sounds good to me. i hope they do reboot and dump all the guest garbage and special forces garbage

@Orpheus79V Yeah, basically - except now with an explicit "1" lol

@Shinnok789 It's true. The end of aftermath basically shows that the series is getting a reboot, back to the past and re-writing the story, no?

@Orpheus79V @Voltan
Maybe they'll go the Final Fantasy route and call it MK 1-2 😅

I hope this works out better for them than it did for Xbox One...

No, don’t do that, please. Not “1”. Anything but this.

It would be weird to call it “1”. What game has ever been called 1 before? Even God of War just called itself GoW. Did Resident Evil call itself 1? I do remember a RE 0 (zero) but not a 1. Just call it MK and then everyone will be forced to add (2024) every time they write the name.😝

I still have my Game Gear copy of the first game so I'm set.

I'll probably pick up the PS5 version in about 3 years when the Komplete version releases with all DLC.

It was a bad decision when xbox did it, why do they think it would work for Mortal Kombat?

Should just be Mortal Kombat (2023) or whatever year it ends up releasing.

Perhaps an 'I' instead of a '1'?

I heard the digital deluxe version will contain some extra costumes and other 'surprises' that won't be included in the standard version.
Oops, now I've leaked it!!

According to my reliable sources the Deluxe version will be more expensive than the Standard version.
My other reliable source also stated that the Kollektor's edition will be even more expensive than the two mentioned versions.

I guess we just have to wait and see but as I sad, those are some pretty reliable insiders.

Should just be called Mortal Kombat then, the 1 just doesn't sound right. I won't be interested if a character pass is announced alongside the initial announcement of the game. I just can't support half games anymore, no matter how good they might be.

Hmmm part of me feels they've rebooted as a way to remove most characters so they can then add them back in at a later date and charge. Will wait for the Ultimate edition 2 years on from release.

I'm not a fan of them calling it MK1 but I get it...they are continuing the story of Liu Kang going back in time to team up with the Great Kung Lao in the first MK tournament.

@J2theEzzo You mean Mortal Kombat 1-3? What we all like to call Mortal Kombat 9 was already Mortal Kombat 1-2.

I don't really care what they call it, I’ll still call it either MK12 or MK '23 (or whatever year it may get released).

Makes sense to reboot, given how complex and involving the plot is.
Yes, that was sarcasm.

What a dumb name.

Homelander?

Well, I guess that is the closest thing we'll get to Superman or Omni-Man in Mortal Kombat so I'm down for that.

Plus Homelander fits MK in the sense he's an evil ***** with no qualms against killing lol

Very cool to have the boys in mk. The show/comic is depraved enough to fit right in.
Also fine having a reboot. Even though I loved the 9/10/11 trilogy, I don't see much air in there storywise.

@Shinishii was that one not just called 'Mortal Kombat'? Further adding to the confusion....

But I guess you're right! MK 1-3 it is!

So... in a sense, it is a reboot and a remake of 9 at same time =P

@PlayStationGamer3919 it’ll probably be the MK 1993/4 version and called the legacy edition 🙈😀

they have run out of ideas and i do not blame them. this is a 30 year old franchise afterall. time to kill it and begin a new IP for christ sakes.

HIGHLANDER!!!!!!!! Nuff said!

@rjejr battlefield 1

I wanna be Rambocop

Hopefully this looks wildly different, like a new take on how the original MK1 looked in 1992 with digitized graphics.

I have Mortal Kombat 1, 2 and 3 coin opp in my man cave!!

@TheArtfulDodger Um, ok......Cool?

Kids like it, they say they prefer MK 11 tho. They’re 9!! 😂😂

Is Pedro pascal will be a DLC character hahaha

As long as I can play with the Bob Mills edition of Subzero, I'll be happy.

I think it will be "Mortal Kombat" only. I've met Ed Boon one day in person and we played some rounds of Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe. He did not say it but you could feel how uncomfortable he felt about that game. They were not allowed to create that brutal fatalities and everything was so clean washed. He likes these original Mortal Kombat ingredients. So here comes my interpretation:

Mortal Kombat 11 already looked awesome but with a new engine and the potential of the current gen they will be able to bring a much more realistic and in that context mature and brutal look. I don't know if anybody can follow that idea but when the original Mortal Kombat was released it felt ultra realistic and real. I think nobody who was not playing video games during that time can understand that from todays perspective.

The new Mortal Kombat will go exactly that way imho. It's like Diablo 4 compared to Diablo 3. The series left this path one day and now they are getting back to what made the original game that unique. And that's why they want to call it "Mortal Kombat", I guess. It will have that original look and feel again. In times of a new Tekken and a new Street Fighter Game where every game gets promoted with high marketing budgets that's how you have to position a Mortal Kombat Game.

@DestructionAllstars "battlefield 1"

Thanks. Still stupid tho. 😂
