Back in June, Mortal Kombat 1 was present at Summer Game Fest, which allowed players to try out the game early. If fans couldn't make it, then NetherRealm also allowed fans to play it digitally later that same month when Mortal Kombat 1 conducted its first stress test for its online modes. This allowed players try out the fighting game ahead of its scheduled release in Fall and see how it feels in these early stages. The feedback that the game has been receiving from those playing at EVO has allowed for NetherRealm to make important changes.
The premiere annual fighting game tournament, EVO, had previously announced that Mortal Kombat 1 would be playable at the venue, allowing players another early look at the game. A competitive fighting game player and six-time EVO Champion, SonicFox, recently had the chance to play NetherRealm's upcoming fighter at the event. He complimented how the movement in Mortal Kombat 1 has improved, along with posting how MK1 has incorporated MK9's dash block mechanic. This caught the attention of Mortal Kombat co-creator and director Ed Boon, who confirmed these changes.
Thanks to everyone who gave MK1 suggestions ❤️

We continue to encourage feedback from whomever gets a chance to play these early builds.
Let’s make this game the best it can be together! 🐉 https://t.co/B0b6rbEQL8
The Mortal Kombat 1 director then thanked everyone for the suggestions that they had provided. Boon also encouraged people who are trying out these early builds of the game to provide feedback to the team in order to help improve the game before its launch this fall. Boon concluded his tweet by stating he hopes to make this Mortal Kombat the best it can be, though it is only possible with the feedback provided from fans.
Many fans were appreciative of how NetherRealm Studios and Boon were listening to their concerns and how quickly changes are being implemented. The next chance players will have to try out the game after EVO is with Mortal Kombat 1's beta test this August. Players will be able to access the game's online multiplayer and a limited version of MK1's story mode. This beta test will be running from August 18-21, which is a month before the game's official launch.
Mortal Kombat 1 launches September 19 for PC, PS5, Switch, and Xbox Series X.
