Here's a look at Mortal Kombat 1 gameplay, including plenty of guts, gore, and wind up middle fingers

Summer Game Fest has kicked off. Literally.

Along with the newly announced Prince of Persia game, we were swiftly treated to a look at Mortal Kombat 1. This included gameplay, so expect plenty of blood and gore. I am talking about decapitations, saws to the face, spinal cord removal. You know, kind of what you’d expect from the famously brutal fighter series.

Here is that trailer. Maybe put any food you were eating to one side before diving in.

Ed Boon also joined Summer Game Fest, taking to the stage with Geoff Keighly. Boon affirmed that Mortal Kombat 1 is the beginning of a new timeline, and this means the team is “mixing the whole thing up”. Sub Zero and Scorpion are now brothers, rivals are now allies and so on.
