The beta will take place ahead of Mortal Kombat 1's official release date, which is currently scheduled for September 14.

The announcement follows Mortal Kombat 1's recent San Diego Comic-Con presentation in which NetherRealm Studios revealed returning warriors Baraka, Li Mei, and Tanya as well as special guests Omni-Man, Peacemaker, and Homelander. The reveal followed a leak confirming their inclusion.
