We know that you can pre-order Mortal Kombat 1 now to get access to the Beta. We don’t know for sure, but we guess that sometime in August 2023 will be when the Mortal Kombat 1 Beta begins.

If you pre-order, you’ll also get access to Shang Tsung, who will probably be unlocked through playing Mortal Kombat 1, but you’ll have early access to playing him.

Mortal Kombat 1 has a new mechanic that allows you to combine characters with Kameo fighters for new customized fights and team-ups. When you select your main character, you’ll select any Kameo character — it can even be Sub Zero and Sub Zero — and then you fight.
