Great news for fighting game fans! The console pre-order beta test for Mortal Kombat 1 has been extended this weekend. Originally scheduled to end at its designated time, the beta test will now conclude at 3pm PT on Monday, giving players an additional seven hours of gameplay. The extension was announced on the game’s official social media channels and confirmed by Mortal Kombat’s co-creator and NetherRealm CCO, Ed Boon.

“The Realms have spoken! We will be extending Pre-Order Beta for an additional 7 hours. The Beta will now conclude on Monday, 8/21 at 3:00pm PT,” tweeted the official Mortal Kombat 1 account.
While the reason for the extension remains unknown, fans are urged to make the most of this unexpected opportunity. Take advantage of the extra time to enjoy all the game has to offer.
It’s worth noting that Mortal Kombat 1’s servers underwent stress testing on Xbox Series X and PS5 in June. This testing session led to highly-sought beta invitations being auctioned online for exorbitant amounts.
Prepare yourself for the release of Mortal Kombat 1 on September 19, 2023. The game will be available on Nintendo Switch, PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, PS5, and Xbox Series X.

However, we also highlighted the complexity of the Kameo system and how it adds an extra layer of strategy to an already intricate game. We mentioned that it made us question our own skills, with instances where intended actions didn’t go as planned.
In other news, Katsuhiro Harada, the director of Tekken 8, recently revealed the negative impact that “silly threats” from purported fans have on morale, costs, and character choices within the game.
