Ready to “test your might”? Mortal Kombat 1: Premium Edition just dropped on Thursday (Sept. 14) and marks the latest in the fighting game franchise. Unlike previous installments though, Mortal Kombat 1 will mark a new beginning for the game’s universe. So, if you’ve snagged an Xbox deal or the Play Station 5 restock, make sure you pickup a copy of the game to try out the fresh storyline and characters.

Right now, you can get your hands on the premium edition of the game from Amazon, Best Buy and Target for $109.99 or $148 on Walmart for the exclusive steelbook version. If you’d prefer the standard edition, then you can preorder it now for $69.99 or wait until Tuesday (Sept. 19) when it’s officially released from the same retailers.

What Consoles Are Mortal Kombat 1 on?

Both editions of the highly-anticipated game are available on the Nintendo Switch, Xbox X Series and PS5. The standard edition of the game is available on additional consoles and formats including Xbox Series X/S, PS5, Nintendo Switch and Windows PC.

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.
