When is the Mortal Kombat 1 Release Date?

The new title from NetherRealm Studios is one of the biggest releases of the year, but when is the Mortal Kombat 1 release date? The upcoming fighting game is getting really close to dropping. News about what’s coming with the title is being released fast and thick. Pretty soon, players are going to be able to jump in and experience everything that Mortal Kombat 1 has to offer.

Mortal Kombat 1 will be initially released in September. It’s a bit later in 2023 date for this title, giving it a decent gap away from 2023’s other major fighter, Street Fighter 6. This will also give us a good six months to get to grips with the game before it takes over for 2024’s major fighting game esports events. This is what we know about the Mortal Kombat 1 release date and even the platforms it’s coming to.

When is the Mortal Kombat 1 Release Date?

Mortal Kombat 1 is currently scheduled to release on September 14 2023. This date applies to every platform, you can jump in and start to enjoy the title from this date. If you’re going the digital route, the title will be available for pre-load a few days before the actual release. That way you can jump in straight away at midnight on the Mortal Kombat 1 release date.

According to information released so far and Mortal Kombat 1 leaks, we know the game is going to be a new timeline for the series. It’s basically a full reset for the Mortal Kombat series. This new game is coming four years since the last release in the series, Mortal Kombat 11. It’s been about the standard length between games, so while it hasn’t been a drought fans are pretty keen to get stuck into the next title on the Mortal Kombat 1 release date.

Mortal Kombat 1 Platforms

Mortal Kombat 1 will be dropping soon, but where can fans play it? Like most the biggest fighting game franchises, it’s targeting multiple consoles so the vast majority of players will be able to get involved. The game will be released on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Switch.

The lack of past-gen releases might be disappointing for some fighting game fans. Although, it’s an understandable jump that the genre has to make sooner or later. The game’s Switch release is a bit of a surprise. Hopefully, the port can at least make it playable here even if it doesn’t quite match the frame rate of the other platforms.

Mortal Kombat 1 Beta and Early Access

The Mortal Kombat 1 release date isn’t until September. However, we’ve already started to get some early access periods. The game has been available to play online and offline in a more limited form. There have already been some limited closed Betas. However, MK 1 will be getting a trial before the official release date too!

The game is going to be available for players to start early provided that they pre-ordered the title. If they got the Kollector’s Edition or the Premium Edition, then you’ll be able to start the game on September 14th! It’s going to unlock the entire game early this way. You can make a much earlier start grinding in MK 1.
