The release of Mortal Kombat 1 is nearly upon us! And, just in time for that, the official launch trailer has ? well, launched! Included in this most recent trailer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYa7L4jp11E) is a special focus on historic fighters Reiko (who was introduced in Mortal Kombat 4) in addition to Shang Tsung, who is, interestingly, a pre-order bonus.
As the trailer begins, we hear narration from presumably Liu Kang, who has replaced Raiden as a god of the new timeline. He then utters the most ironic phrase I have ever heard in a game trailer, explaining that he ?was free to craft a new era (https://www.destructoid.com/mortal-kombat-1-gameplay-impressions-sgf-2023/) of peace,? followed by about three minutes and forty-five seconds of pure, unbridled evisceration.

In the trailer, we are shown a preview of the carnage that Reiko can dish out. Taking advantage of the new Kameo Fighters system, he takes a step back while the Kameo Fighter dishes out a boatload of pain. Then, only after brutally shattering the enemy fighter?s leg, Reiko re-enters the fray by sending a giant spear through their chest, pulling it out, only to send it right into their skull. Era of peace? Riiight.
Shang Tsung, on the other hand, seems just as lethal ? if not moreso. In addition to showing off his devastating combos against Liu Kang, the trailer seems to suggest he?s up to his usual shenanigans and will be a significant force against the characters of this franchise-wise universe reset. To reiterate, it?d seem despite his presence in the game?s story, Shang Tsung will only be playable for those who pre-order Mortal Kombat 1, which releases on September 14 for PS5, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch.
