The First Look At Mortal Kombat 1 Gameplay Will Be Shown Off During Summer Game Fest

NetherRealm Studios and Geoff Keighley have announced that the first bit of gameplay for Mortal Kombat 1 will debut at Summer Game Fest on June 8.

Taking to Twitter to announce this as a WORLD PREMIERE, Keighley confirmed that NetherRealm’s Chief Creative Officer and tease master Ed Boon will be live on stage to introduce the first gameplay trailer for the upcoming fighting game.

So far, we’ve had a wonderfully gory cinematic reveal trailer that showed Shang Tsung literally tearing characters apart, but it’ll be nice to see the game in action soon.

Don't miss the world gameplay premiere of @MORTALKOMBAT 1 when Ed Boon (@Noobde) joins @geoffkeighley live on stage at #SummerGameFest on Thursday, June 8.
