Mortal Kombat fans are seeing a new era begin as NetherRealm Studios creates a new ‘Invasion’ mode for Mortal Kombat 1, such as Kameo fighters for combat and single-player modes.

This new mode will combine RPG progression with classic trademarks of Mortal Kombat’s known gory aesthetic.
PlayStation Blog expounds upon the new mode as a board game and RPG combo, with players exploring a “board game-like map” with various challenges to overcome. GamesRadar described their game experience as “a greatest hits of [Mortal Kombat’s] single-player experiences.”

Mortal Kombat 1 releases on September 14 on Windows PC, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 5.
