Fighting fans outraged by upcoming Mortal Kombat – calls to boycott after shocking reveal

GAMERS have been shocked by a new reveal for the upcoming Mortal Kombat game.

The new game will be a reboot for the series and be named Mortal Kombat 1.

Pre-orders for Mortal Kombat 1 are open now for the launch on Tuesday, September 19, 2023.

As pre-orders are now live the required and recommended specifications for the game are now public.

Most of these are what players would have expected, but there is one thing that shocked fans.

The game requires 100GB on your console or PC in order to install it which is a large chunk of most people’s storage capacity.

For comparison the PS5 and Xbox Series X have the largest storage with 800GB available for games.

The smaller Xbox Series S has just 360GB in storage, meaning that Mortal Kombat would take up almost a third of the available space.

Even with this large size, it’s not the biggest game currently on the market.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor are some of the largest games currently available with a whopping download size of 150GB.

It is much larger than a number of recent releases such as Hogwarts Legacy which is 80GB.

The revealed size is much larger than the majority of modern fighting games though which don’t have to include things like an open world.

For example, Street Fighter 6 which releases early next month is just 60GB.

Those thinking of purchasing Mortal Kombat 1 will have to be careful about the amount of storage they have on their console.
