Geras will return in Mortal Kombat 1

Developer NetherRealms is fully focused on the reboot of the Mortal Kombat series. As we know from previous announcements, Mortal Kombat 1 will feature many novelties and completely change the franchise, at least in terms of story, by featuring a brand new universe with Liu Kang at the helm. With new stories for all the characters, the studio has rewritten the past to offer a totally different background. Of course, this impacts the relationship between classic Mortal Kombat characters and will bring unexpected surprises.

But Mortal Kombat 1 will offer much more than new stories and you can expect to find many novelties in terms of gameplay. Air combos, Kameo Fighters to be summoned mid-combat, enhanced animations, and new movements are just a few of the elements you will enjoy while fighting in the game. New gameplay modes, impressive graphics, and a level of violence that makes Mortal Kombat 11 look pale complete an offer that will please the fans of the franchise.

While all those elements are important, one of the most relevant pieces of information about Mortal Kombat 1 that can be revealed ahead of launch is the name of the fighters that will be available. We recently could discover the composition of the first DLC pack, but now NetherRealms has revealed a new fighter for the game's roster.

The master of time

Geras, the guardian of the Hourglass will be familiar to the fans of the franchise, who will be able to use once more his time-manipulating powers to reduce the opponents to a bloody pulp. You can watch him in action and also discover a new fatality for Fire God Liu Kang in the latest Mortal Kombat 1 video.

If you can't wait to immerse in the new world of Mortal Kombat 1, the release of the game is scheduled for September 19 on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch. As usual, the best prices to pre-order a Mortal Kombat 1 code are available with our comparator already.
