Hey, get over here, because we’ve rounded up everywhere in Australia you can pick up a cheap copy of Mortal Kombat 1. Despite its name, Mortal Kombat 1 is the 12th instalment in the long-running fighting game series and is set to reboot the franchise. There was a whole thing in the last game where Liu Kang became a Fire God and recreated the universe.
Announced back in May, we got our first proper look at the game during the recent Summer Game Fest. From what we’ve seen so far, the game’s iconic fatalities seem to be as brutal and ridiculous as ever. Mortal Kombat 1 will also introduce a new feature called Kameo Fighters that’ll let you summon assist fighters to help you out. Also, Megan Fox is there and she’s a vampire.
The game ran a closed beta last month for preorder customers. You can read Kotaku Australia’s impressions of the Mortal Kombat 1 beta here, but overall, we were pretty happy with it. It looks great, controls well and all feels very familiar. If you’re a long-time Mortal Kombat fan, you’ll feel right at home. During the beta, players discovered that the game includes an accessibility feature that will narrate your fatalities.
Ahead of its release tomorrow (September 19), here’s where you can preorder Mortal Kombat 1 while saving yourself a few bucks.
