Step into a New Era of the ultra-violent fighting game everyone knows and loves with Mortal Kombat 1 on PlayStation 5. Fan-favourite Liu Kang has reset reality, paving the way for its impressive roster of martial arts masters to finally embrace peace. Spoiler: they do not. Unleash hell on your opponents, duelling side-by-side with a series first – Kameo Fighters. Ready to step in when the battle isn’t going your way, these partner characters can either seal your vicious victory, or spell devastating defeat. Not known to shy away from gore, you can expect a whole host of stomach-churning fatalities as you take the fight from the couch to the net with savage online tournaments. So, whether you’re swinging skulls as Scorpion, or freezing your foes as Sub-Zero, come forth and test your might.
Don’t forget to pick up a PlayStation Plus subscription card to play with your friends online.
