So excited. I'm a big MK fan so I was in regardless, but the hype soared once they showed off Reptile. Hope they give him a MK '95 skin.

The single player mode that is coming along side the story mode has seemingly leaked on some box art. Seems very interesting, happy to see more single player content in these games. Should get an official reveal of this mode soon.

New trailer at Gamescom on Tuesday Aug 22nd. This will either show Nitara, General Shao, Sindel, or the 4th and final character no one seems to know who it is. or a gameplay and modes trailer. The leaked single player mode seemed interesting enough to warrant its own trailer.

Clearly inspired by the trailer for MK home release some 30 years ago.

Not crazy about Nitara's design, but Megan Fox is a genuine MK fan and not just a celeb getting paid to be in a game like other celeb cameos of the past. Tons of articles of her talking about how she hated MK8 and such.

I’m not very excited for this like I was the last game. I’m sure I’ll try it at some point but something about this one just seems off

Having played through the story, all tower endings and most of the invasion mode I have to say I am very happy with the story aspects of this game. Gameplay is banging too. The only negative I can say about it is... It seems pretty... Contentless? I get that this is on a new engine and they had to start from scratch, but it feels lacking in many areas compared to MK11. Also, invasions are dreadfully boring. But that final chapter of the story mode is probably my favorite MK moment ever. That went so hard. Also, through datamining it seems most of the upcoming DLC packs have been leaked. PM me if you want the list.

I really love this new era and the new origins/relationships that came with it and am already looking forward to the story expansion(s). I have to agree about the contentless comment, at least when you compare MK1 to MK11. MK11 had a meaty, fun Krypt that was basically Mortal Kombat Disneyworld, but also Towers of Time that had rotating towers, Gauntlet, Character towers and Co-op towers among it. A.I. Battles, though not something I absolutely need or loved, was at least another option if you wanted something else to do and to see how your A.I. compared to others. I do love Invasions and I'm excited for upcoming seasons and the Mesas that'll accompany it (even though I'll admit most of the fights are simply not fun), but MK1 does feel like it's missing 1 more single player element to it to really give us a buffet to sink our teeth into. If the datamines do end up proving true, I'll be very happy with the MK side of things. I don't touch the guest characters so I don't have much of an opinion on them.

I think the teaser at the ends sets up for a pretty fun story expansion down the line like Aftermath was. So I am excited for that. And I think that a Towers of Time type of system is what is missing for sure, but I do miss a lot of things like AI battles that you mention. I loved that in MK11 I could just let my AI fight against some tower and get some rewards and cosmetics while I was eating or whatever. I honestly thinking having that AI made me spend more time with MK11 than I will spend with MK1. Time will tell. I am having a blast as Reptile, his combos are super satisfying and I am just excited to keep playing for now!

I'm really digging it and while there's a few QOL improvements I'd like (it's killing me not being able to pin combos to the screen lol), I love the gameplay and a lot of my criticisms are fixable. I'm cautiously optimistic those datamines come to fruition and they end up supporting this for several years.

That is surely getting patched in soon, community outcry has been far too loud for them to ignore it.
