Mortal Kombat 1 is a 2023 fighting game developed by NetherRealm Studios and published by Warner Bros. Games. It is the twelfth main installment in the Mortal Kombat franchise, and serves as its second reboot after 2011's Mortal Kombat. The game takes place after the events of 2019's Mortal Kombat 11, and is set in a new timeline (the third main timeline in the series' history) created by Liu Kang during his ending in 11's Aftermath expansion. In this new timeline, Liu Kang assembles a clique of fighters to participate in the latest Mortal Kombat tournament in Outworld while contending with an alliance formed by Titan Shang Tsung. In the follow-up expansion, Khaos Reigns, Liu Kang and his allies must contend with Titan Havik. The game was released on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S on September 19, 2023. Most versions of Mortal Kombat 1 received generally positive reviews from critics, with praise towards its visual fidelity, roster, first story mode and new mechanics, but criticism for its microtransactions and second story mode. Conversely, the Switch version was negatively received at launch for its technical issues, graphics, and long loading times.
