Mortal Kombat 1 shares one big similarity with MK11

I’ve performed many a fighting game in my time, however Mortal Kombat 1 is shaping as much as be probably the most thrilling one for fairly some time. Given my beloved Mileena is about to return to the fray, I’ve discovered myself asking ‘how lengthy is Mortal Kombat 1‘ or, really ‘how lengthy can I play as Mileena for?’ Nicely, chief artistic workplace and co-creator of Mortal Kombat, Ed Boon, has the entire solutions.

Whereas apparently sitting within the ER within the late hours of Thursday, July 27 (he’s wonderful, don’t fear), Boon opted to reply just a few questions on the upcoming combating behemoth, one in all which asks concerning the size of the sport’s story marketing campaign.

In keeping with Boon, Mortal Kombat 1’s story is “comparable” in size to Mortal Kombat 11. This works out at round six hours when you’re speedrunning via aims, or 51 hours when you go full completionist – and by completionist, I imply unlocking all the pieces in the notorious Krypt.

In fact, six hours is simply the typical obtained by howlongtobeat – the sport’s size will fluctuate in your playstyle and your previous brawling expertise. I additionally count on we’ll see some DLC drop as the sport progresses, and whereas it might simply be different characters I believe that Boon and the workforce at NetherRealm have some tips up their sleeves.

As somebody who has performed far too many MK video games, I do know I’ll in all probability take a little bit longer than six hours. I’m a completionist at coronary heart, and given we’ve acquired long-forgotten characters like Smoke and Rain becoming a member of the fray, I actually wish to get as a lot time with them as attainable. In spite of everything, I’m a former Smoke important and his new skills look wonderful.

For now, as I avidly await the Mortal Kombat 1 release date, I’ll sit and ponder which Mortal Kombat 1 character to important – ha, joke, it’s Mileena – aren’t you shocked?
