Microsoft recently announced everything that’s coming to Game Pass in December. Included in that list is Mortal Kombat 1. NetherRealm Studios’ latest fighter is set to launch on December 10th, which is great news for fighting fans because Mortal Kombat 11 is leaving the service on December 15th. One fan-favorite fighter is out, and another steps in to take its place.
Granted, some MK fans might feel like Mortal Kombat 1 is a step back because of how heavily publisher Warner Bros. Games went on microtransactions, but both games sold well and bring engaging campaigns to the table. If you stay away from the more predatory aspects of Mortal Kombat 1, there’s a solid fighter in there. Additions like Kameo Fighters give you a larger fighting toolset, and cross-play and cross-progression mean you can play almost wherever you want. Just don’t bother with Invasions mode.
Regardless, MK fans and Game Pass subscribers won’t have to worry about losing out on their brand of fighter. Microsoft is smart to make the switch, giving story fans the chance to dive into a new Mortal Kombat, while more hardcore fans won’t have to learn a completely new fighting game if they want to stay on the service. Of course, several more games are coming to Game Pass alongside Game Pass.
