Mortal Kombat 1 pre-order guide: where to get every edition
NetherRealm Studios is pulling along a soft reboot of the mother of all fighters Mortal Kombat 1. While details on the latest entry in the fighting game franchise are still scarce, the game has a scheduled launch date of September 19, a beta will take place sometime in August, and the roster will include some of the most recognizable faces from the franchise.
So far, the confirmed roster of characters includes classic fighters like Liu Kang, Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Raiden, Kitana, Mileena, and Johnny Cage. Shang Tsung has also been confirmed as a bonus character for all pre-orders of the game. While no store-specific pre-order bonuses have been announced yet, it’s confirmed that pre-ordering the game for consoles will give you access to the beta.
Here you can pre-order any edition of the game ahead of its September 19 launch date.

The $69.99 standard edition Mortal Kombat 1 will be available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch and PC for both Steam and the Epic Games Store.
