Mortal Kombat 5 2023 includes new single-player mode replacing the Krypt

 

Mortal Kombat 1 is bringing back a classic Sektor Fatality, as shown in the game’s latest gameplay breakdown

Mortal Kombat 1’s full roster of DLC characters has been leaked due to an Amazon Italy listing, which gives credence to recent rumors.

In the weeks leading up to Mortal Kombat 1’s official announcement, rumors swarmed the internet about what NetherRealm Studios had planned for the upcoming fighting game title.

Many of the rumors and leaks were proven correct, too, with insiders correctly reporting on the reboot, release window, and planned platforms.

Now, a leak seeping from an Amazon Italy listing hints that uncorroborated claims about DLC plans for the Mortal Kombat reboot may have been accurate, as well.

Amazon listing outs Mortal Kombat 1’s DLC fighters

A little over a week ago, unsubstantiated reports pointed to Homelander and Peacemaker joining the new Mortal Kombat roster as DLC. Notably, a Premium Edition product listing on Amazon Italy, which has since received an update, seemingly confirmed as much and more.

VGC spotted the list of supposed DLC combatants, reporting that the post-launch roster will include the following characters: Ermac, Quan Chi, Takeda Takahashi, Homelander, Peacemaker, and Omni Man.

The first two names are Mortal Kombat classics; meanwhile, Takeda, Kenshi’s son, joined the franchise in Mortal Kombat X. The Boys’ Homelander and DC’s Peacemaker were previously leaked as DLC characters, but the Amazon listing suggests Omni Man of Invincible fame will enter the fight, too.

Since MK9, Mortal Kombat has hosted more than its fair share of noteworthy guest characters, from Kratos and Freddy Krueger to RoboCop and the Joker.

Should the Amazon leak have some weight to it, Mortal Kombat 1 will continue the tradition of interesting DLC releases. As of now, however, WB Games and NetherRealm have yet to confirm their post-launch plans for the title.

News on this front should surface in the coming months, though, with Mortal Kombat 1 slated for September 19.

Mortal Kombat 1 gameplay breakdown shows off classic Sektor Fatality

Mortal Kombat 1 is bringing back a classic Sektor Fatality, as shown in the game’s latest gameplay breakdown.

Longtime Mortal Kombat fans were pleased to learn of Sektor’s return in the latest entry. As of now, however, the cyborg isn’t a fully playable character. He instead counts among MK1’s many Kameo fighters, secondary characters who fight alongside a player’s primary selection.

The Kameo fighters will still get to put special skills like Fatal Blows and Fatalities to use, though. And, fortunately, NetherRealm demonstrated as much in its latest Kombat Kast.

A Day of the Dead-themed skin for Sub-Zero has Mortal Kombat 1 fans confused about why Kung Lao didn’t get the special outfit instead.

How is that not Kung Lao?” reads one response to the above post. Several others in the thread agree – the hat-throwing fighter should’ve been given the honor here. “That should be a Kung Lao skin,” someone wrote. Another fan in the comments argued, “This skin fits more for Kung Lao than Sub Zero.”

Reddit discussions about Sub-Zero‘s new Mortal Kombat 1 skin similarly think the wrong character received the Day of the Dead attire. One of the top comments ponders, “Why on earth was this for Sub-Zero and not Kung Lao?” And another person replied, “I think it’s funnier, because it makes absolutely no sense for Sub Zero to have this skin.”

Mortal Kombat 1 includes new single-player mode replacing the Krypt.

Instead of the Krypt, Mortal Kombat 1 will include a new single-player mode called Invasions, according to preorder details.

Introduced in Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance, the Krypt is a space where players can hand over in-game Koins earned during gameplay to unlock items. The unlockables range from playable characters and concept art pieces to alternate character costumes and new arenas.

Fortunately for players, the Krypt’s returned on several occasions since the Deadly Alliance days, even appearing in MK11 with a host of activities for players to enjoy.

August 2023 Xbox Series X/S & Xbox One Games.

While August 2023 has its share of big names, the month's successor is on a whole other level. September startsAugust 2023 has a couple of noteworthy releases that Xbox fans can sink their teeth into. Deck13's Atlas Fallen might not be as massive of a title as Diablo 4 or Starfield, but the action RPG could prove to be a fun surprise. The developer is primarily known for The Surge, two Soulslikes that are generally respected. Atlas Fallen seems set to be a departure from these sorts of games, offering a more accessible and fast-paced experience.EA's Immortals of Aveum is a first-person shooter revolving around magic instead of guns. The single-player title has produced a couple of captivating trailers that showcase its explosive and stylish combat system, all the while providing a glimpse into the world and story. Toward the end of August, FromSoftware will release Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon, a highly-anticipated sequel in the publisher's long-running mecha franchise. While the company is nowadays primarily known for creating Soulslikes, Armored Core has a storied legacy filled with quality titles, and there is nothing to suggest the 2023 entry will deviate from this pattern. Presuming it hits the mark, Fires of Rubicon could introduce a new generation to an overlooked series.August 2: Atomic Heart: Annihilation Instinct (XBX/S, XBO)
