Thought the days of screaming Mortal Kombat at the top of your lungs were over? Think again. The new live-action trailer forMortal Kombat 1starring Dave Bautista has dropped, and boy oh boy, does it whack you over the head with a serious case of nostalgia.
For those who don’t remember as far back as 1993, when the trailer for the original game launched it featured a lot of moody-looking people shouting the title while strutting around the city. If you take the time to watch it on YouTube, you’ll laugh right after you cringe a little – it’s not bad, per se, just very dated. And now, 30 years later, that original trailer has had an update to celebrate the upcomingMK1. Full circle moments, you’ve gotta love them.
Take a deep breath before you shout along with theMK1live-action teaser!

In the teaser, Bautista starts a chain reaction, almost converting the whole city into shouting “MORTAL KOMBAT” repeatedly while he continues into a monologue about destiny, fate, and hearing a calling. It’s incredibly epic, but we’d be lying if we pretended there isn’t still a bit of the cringe factor wedged into the whole experience. Not that it’s stopping the likes ofDr Disrespectfrom wanting to be a character in the upcoming game – they even have their intended fatality in mind.
There isn’t long untilMortal Kombat 1launches – once 14 September gets here, many of us will be back to kicking ass, in-between powering through not one but two massive RPGs (StarfieldandBaldur’s Gate 3).
