Mortal Kombat 1 is rapidly approaching its release date, with news and public tests dropping for it all the time. Already, a sizable portion of the playable characters and Kameo Fighters available at launch have been revealed. Trailers have pulled back the curtain on Mortal Kombat 1's new Fire God Liu Kang-made universe, and while the driving force of the story is still unclear, the status of Earthrealm and Outworld is becoming apparent. Peace reigns for now, but warriors from all realms are gathering for some major event, potentially a new Mortal Kombat tournament.
