Mortal Kombat 1 marks the latest entry in the blood-soaked fighting series, and it looks to deliver a satisfying fresh dose of ultraviolence for longtime fans. In addition to a new tag-team mechanic that lets you pair a main character with a backup “Kameo” fighter, you can look forward to an epic all-new story, regular seasonal updates that will add new Invasion mode missions, and more.
Of course, as with every entry in the series, Mortal Kombat 1 brings back Fatalities and trust me, they’re more gruesome than ever. Every core fighter in MK1 has two Fatalities – one available from the start and one that won’t be added to your move list until you unlock them. Kameo fighters also have a Fatality of their own you have to unlock. That said, you can still do all Fatalities, even if they haven’t been officially unlocked, if you know the right inputs – which we have listed for you below!
Note, as you can see, each Fatality has to be performed a certain distance away from your opponent. If you want to get a better sense of what we mean by “close,” “mid,” and “far,” just choose Learn from the main menu then pop into Fatalities, and the game will show you the exact ranges you need to be standing at. So, with that said, scroll on to find out how to execute all of Mortal Kombat 1 Fatalities…
