Developer NetherRealm Studios has not revealed many confirmed characters for Mortal Kombat 1 so far, but the initial roster of playable heroes and villains will likely get veteran players excited. The new fighting game is a direct sequel to the events in Mortal Kombat 11, and at the same time, a reboot of the Mortal Kombat timeline, as the newly anointed Fire God, Liu Kang, is capable of controlling time itself – in the previous game, he defeated the Keeper of Time, Kronika.
In the new game, Liu Kang seeks to bring forth an era of peace and prosperity. Nevertheless, his plans will be cut short by the return of Shang Tsung. In Mortal Kombat 1’s reveal trailer, the sorcerer is seen taking the lives of many well-known characters, all of which have been confirmed for the upcoming game as playable. It is still unknown if they will all be the main characters in Mortal Kombat 1, as the game will also introduce the Kameo system.

As a Fire God and not only a mere combatant, Liu Kang will likely have a totally renewed skill set in Mortal Kombat 1. While he will likely still use martial arts in his fights, he can now rely on mystical powers – the reveal trailer even shows him using his new powers to execute Shang Tsung with dragon-like figures.
In Fire God Liu Kang’s New Era, Kung Lao is one of the confirmed characters in Mortal Kombat 1. The hero is seen leading a peaceful life as a farmer in the countryside before Shang Tsung’s return and has exchanged his mortal hat for one without a blade. That will probably change once the game begins, as his bladed hat is the hallmark of his entire fighting style.
