Highlights
- Mortal Kombat 1 will feature a new mini-game that involves destroying a decapitated head, taking the graphic nature of the series to a new level. The game's M18 rating in Singapore is justified by this feature.
- Speculation arises regarding whose heads players will be destroying and the mechanics of the mini-game. Similar skull-destroying activities were present in the 2011 version of Mortal Kombat.
- With a story reboot, novel gameplay, and other updates, Mortal Kombat 1 has the potential to revitalize the series and attract new fans. The introduction of new ideas by NetherRealm Studios bodes well for the game's success.
A ratings board has just leaked a new mini-game in Mortal Kombat 1 that involves a decapitated head. The next entry in the Mortal Kombat series is set to release this September, and it appears to be bringing plenty of innovation and updates to the gameplay. Mortal Kombat 1 will be rebooting the story as well, giving fans a fresh entry point into the action.
Spoilers for Mortal Kombat 1 are already coming out and more are likely to follow as the launch date draws closer. There's still plenty that eager gamers don't know yet and some things that probably won't be revealed until the game is officially out. Still, the steady trickle of news and leaks should keep fans interested until this fall. The latest piece of information to excite players is about a new mini-game that should take the graphic nature of the series to a new level.
Thanks to information released by the Singapore Ratings Board, fans now know that Mortal Kombat 1 will feature a mini-game in which players are tasked with destroying a head. This activity will sometimes appear in specific game modes and, along with everything else in the series known for, has justified an M18 rating in Singapore.
The leak doesn't appear to offer any other details, so gamers will be left to speculate, for now, about whose heads they may be destroying or how they'll be meant to go about it. In 2011's Mortal Kombat, players could sometimes be required to destroy skulls as Reptile in the "Test Your Strike" mini-game, and this could be something similar. Reptile is, in fact, one of two Mortal Kombat 1 characters recently teased by developers which means fans could soon be breaking skulls at the scaly ninja again very soon.
A new mini-game will be one more cool change to the series that NetherRealm Studios will be bringing to shake things up. Between the reboot of the story, novel gameplay, and other updates, like big changes to the Mortal Kombat 1 ninjas, this new title could revitalize the series and attract new fans.
Gamers will have to wait until this September to find out how Mortal Kombat 1 implements all its changes and just how it ranks in the series. NetherRealm Studios and fans alike will surely be hoping for a hit, and the fact that the developer is working to introduce new ideas should be a cause for optimism. Many players will surely be watching closely for more news in the coming months.
Mortal Kombat 1 is scheduled to release September 19 for Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
