Mortal Kombat 1 launch trailer spotlights Reiko and Shang Tsung

Mortal Kombat 1 players have spent the game’s early life experimenting with the new Kameo system, which lets you call in other characters to perform an action. Using Kameo characters, players are working out how to do elaborate combos that involve “juggling” their opponent with multiple hits. But this new combo from evil sorcerer Shang Tsung is perhaps the most ridiculous yet.

While fighting games live and breathe in their competitive scene, The Mortal Kombat series has built a strong reputation for its single player offerings and that is no different in Mortal Kombat 1. The latest entry in the long-running franchise once again provides a cinematic story mode which has appeared in all of the games developed by NetherRealm Studios but also introduces the new Invasion mode. This new offering gives players hours of battles and content to grind through to earn new items and cosmetics. Before jumping in, allow me to break it down so you know what to expect. This guide will provide players with a full explanation of the new single player Invasion mode in Mortal Kombat 1.

CD Projekt have dropped the launch trailer for Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, in great news for fans of driving-combat-cutscene montages and wailing, rain-slicked theme tunes, but less great news, apparently, for mega fans of the male-presenting incarnation of player character V, voiced by Gavin Drea. I haven't touched Cyberpunk since release in 2020, and I'm sort of intrigued to discover that the female-presenting version of the protagonist, voiced by Cherami Leigh, has become the default for marketing purposes.

Cyberpunk 2077 has made a remarkable turnaround with last week’s launch of the comprehensive Update 2.0, and that turnaround is set to be cemented with its upcoming expansion, Phantom Liberty. Out imminently, to further ratchet up the hype for its impending release, CD Projekt RED has released a new launch trailer to give you a taste of what the expansion will have in store. Check it out below.
