Fighting game fans are eagerly awaiting the launch of Mortal Kombat 1. Apart from being a new title from NetherRealm Studios, the game also reboots the long-time-running fighting series. The reboot allowed the developers to keep the favorite elements of the original timeline while implementing new ideas too.
