Mortal Kombat 1 is gearing up for its official release later this year, leaving the community excited about what to expect from the game once it drops. The upcoming title will also have a beta period ahead of its release. It will be interesting to finally try out the new Kameo system, which seems to be the biggest feature of the fighter game so far.
