To build excitement and gather valuable feedback, NetherRealm, and WB Games have organized an MK1 stress test, running from June 23 to June 25. A select group of content creators and critics have been chosen to participate in this initial test, providing their reactions and reviews. Those lucky enough to be selected have already received their codes and are diving into the game.

Among the participants is FaZe Jev, a well-known Call of Duty streamer, who had the opportunity to experience the stress test. Jev thoroughly explored the tower gameplay and shared his thoughts on the game. One aspect that particularly caught his attention was the inclusion of a “Tea Bag” mechanic, allowing players to perform this infamous gesture instead of executing a fatality. “You Could Just Straight Up Tea Bag,” Jev exclaimed, highlighting this unexpected addition.
