"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.

Boon also confirmed the extension, although it's unclear why the additional time was given so unexpectedly. But let's not look a gift horse in the mouth and all that enjoy!

Mortal Kombat 1 's servers were also stress-tested on Xbox Series X and PS5 in June, during which time some highly-sought beta invitations were auctioned off online for hundreds of dollars .

Mortal Kombat 1 is set to release on Nintendo Switch, PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, PS5 , and Xbox Series X on September 19, 2023.

"The Kameo system is phenomenal, but its an extra level of strategy on top of an already complicated game that has made me absolutely sure that Im going to be terrible at it," we said in our Mortal Kombat 1 preview .

"Often, whenever I tried to get Sonya in to assist me in a ground-based
scrap, Id instead merely make her fly overhead like a Red Arrow, giving us a cheery wave as she flew past us whilst we traded blows on the ground."

In related news, Tekken 8 director Katsuhiro Harada recently revealed that
the "silly threats" some purported fans send to him and other team members have a significant impact not just on morale but also on costs and even the inclusion of some characters.

Mortal Kombat 1 remains one of the most anticipated upcoming games of 2023 - but what else is on the list?
