Gameplay
Unlike the modern Mortal Kombat games, the game is a 3D arena fighter as you pick one fighter and face against an opponent. Each fighter has new movesets designed to take advantage of the third dimension as despite that, environmental attacks still exist as unlike previous environmental attacks, they are either activated by hitting the opponent into the environment and using the grab button to use the environment as an onetime weapon. The game rejects 11 's Fatal Blows and returns to X-Ray attacks which can be activated through a super gauge as you have to use the full meter to use them. Using half of the meter allows you to do a guard break. Fatalities return as both friendships and Hara-Kiri return as well. Hara Kiris can be performed either by just quitting the game mid match or if you input the Hara-Kiri code before the opponent does their fatality.

Stages

 * The Koliseum
 * TBD

Trivia

 * The developers stated that the game was never meant to be the next main Mortal Kombat as the devs worked on the game at the same time as Mortal Kombat 1.
