Buy: Mortal Kombat 1 Premium Edition $109.99
The premium edition of the game will include everything in the standard edition as well as a few bonuses such as early access to DLC characters like Suicide Squad’s Peacemaker, The Boys’ Homelander and more. You can also enjoy the benefits of a Kombat Pack (including six new playable characters), a skin of Jean-Claude Van Damme for Johnny Cage as well as 1,250 Dragon Krystals to use in the game.
NetherRealm Studios used this game as a revamp to the franchise “with a reborn Mortal Kombat Universe created by Fire God Liu Kang, featuring iconic heroes and villains reimagined as they’ve never been seen before,” according to a press release. Now, players can indulge in “story mode,” which provides a more cinematic experience with “new relationships, unexpected twists on classic rivalries and original backstories for a wide-ranging cast of characters,” the press release described.
Expect fan favorite characters like Liu Kang, Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Raiden and Kitana to return as well as the Megan Fox-voiced heroine (who is also a vampire), Nitara.
