A reboot set to bring the series back to its roots, Mortal Kombat 1 has taken on its title despite being the twelfth mainline entry in NetherRealm's legendary fighting game franchise. A mainstay of both the arcade and console era of 2D and 3D fighters, the infamously violent franchise has taken many twists and turns on its path to becoming one of the top-selling series in its industry. While Mortal Kombat 1 may be hearkening back to the days of the original trilogy, years of experimental outings have seen a nearly countless array of Kombatants across generations.
