After impressing at this year’s Summer Game Fest, we now have a better understanding of the playable characters in Mortal Kombat 1. The gameplay trailer showcased incredible environments, smooth animations, savage Fatalities, and revealed the new Kameo system, which allows players to team up with various fighters.
The game is set to have 24 characters at launch, with the potential for more classic or new fighters to be added later. The story takes place in a new timeline, so anything is possible.
The Kameo fighters draw from Mortal Kombat’s extensive history, with 18 slots available. However, don’t expect any new or guest characters until after the game’s release. Some Kameo characters, such as Sub-Zero and Scorpion, also appear in the main roster.
Below is a list of confirmed characters and Kameo fighters. Additionally, there are rumored characters from Amazon Italy leaks, set to appear in the first Fighter Pack available at launch.
