Ed Boon on how Mortal Kombat 1's Homelander and Omni-Man will differ

Ed Boon, chief creative officer at NetherRealm Studios, joins IGN at gamescom 2023 to discuss raising the bar on the 30-year saga, introducing a brand new story that reinvents a lot of its familiar characters, Invasions mode, and more in the upcoming fighting game.

Mortal Kombat 1 will feature more single-player content than its predecessors and it’s teeming with ruthless new characters such as Homelander and Omniman, as well as some disgusting fatalities.

Mortal Kombat 1 is the latest title in the acclaimed Mortal Kombat videogame franchise developed by award-winning NetherRealm Studios. The game will introduce a reborn Mortal Kombat Universe that has been created by the Fire God Liu Kang, featuring reimagined versions of iconic characters as they’ve never been seen before, along with a new fighting system, game modes, bone krushing finishing moves, and more.
