Warner Bros has decided to make Mortal Kombat 1 free-to-play for this weekend, from today to 10th March, along with providing a sweet 40% discount on Steam.
Well, the limited-time trial version will only allow you to access the first two chapters in the single-player campaign, along with giving access to all online and local multiplayer modes. This is an attempt most likely to gain attraction from the gaming community to provide them with the chance to experience the fighting experience without paying a penny out of their wallet, at least until the trial version lasts. So, for those wanting to have a take on Mortal Kombat 1, you can download the “Free Play Weekend” from your respective platform store.
Apart from that, Mortal Kombat 1 just witnessed the addition of cross-platform functionality and a new DLC guest fighter, none other than DC’s Peacemaker. The character was part of a direct adaptation of the DC version featuring the voice and likeness of John Cena. Here is how my colleague Nathan Birch described the title in his very own review of the Mortal Kombat 1:
Mortal Kombat 1 is one of the franchise’s most bloody-entertaining entries to date, offering up refined action, smartly revamped fighters, and a story mode that delivers a surprisingly-coherent plot and plenty of blockbuster thrills. A lack of compelling modes and meaningful character customization does hurt, but Mortal Kombat 1 should be a heart-ripping hit with fans even if the overall package is slightly anemic.
