This Week In Games Australia: Mortal Kombat 1 Leads A Post-Starfield Frenzy

Welcome back to This Week In Games Australia, your look at everything you’ll be playing in the next seven days.

This week: With Starfield in the rearview mirror, video game silly season resumes with a vengeance. WB Games, Ubisoft and Nintendo all pounce at once, with Mortal Kombat 1, The Crew Motorfest and Baiten Kaitos 1 & 2 HD Remaster all launching at once.

In between the three-way AAA fight for shelf space, there is a stack of indies attempting to get between them, like Hauma, The Isle Tide Hotel, Summum Aeterna and Urbo. Among these titles, Nintendo’s taking a second bite of the apple, launching the year’s most comically long title, Pokemon Scarlet & Violet: The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero: Part One – The Teal Mask.

Don’t forget: If you’d like a preview of this piece each week, check out The Kotaku Australia Podcast every Friday! Emily and I go through the coming week’s releases and pick out a few of our favourites (amongst in-depth and friendly chats about what we’re currently playing).
