Okay, so I’ve been hyped for Mortal Kombat 1, you know, MK1. The game’s been on my radar since it was announced. And let me tell you, waiting for it has been a real test of patience.
First, I saw a notice that the game had two release dates. I was like, “What? Two dates? Why?” Turns out, one was for early access, and the other was for the full global release. The early access was set for September 14th, 2023, and the regular one for September 19th, 2023.
Honestly, I’m not the type to jump on pre-orders or early access stuff. I figured, “I’ve waited this long, what’s another few days?” So, I decided to hold out for the global release. Marked September 19th on my calendar and tried to forget about it.
Then, I started seeing some buzz online. People were talking about how it was unusual for a game to have a fixed release date announced so far in advance. Apparently, MK1’s date was announced way back in mid-May 2023. That’s like, four months before the release!
- Noticed the two release dates: September 14th for early access and September 19th for global.
- Decided to wait for the global release on the 19th.
- Saw discussions about the early announcement of the release date.
Fast forward to September 14th, I checked online, and boom – people with early access were already playing! It felt a bit like being left out of a party. But hey, I stuck to my plan.
The Final Countdown
Those last few days were tough. Every time I went online, I’d see something about MK1. Gameplay clips, reviews, you name it. I tried to avoid spoilers, but it was like walking through a minefield.
Finally, September 19th arrived. I woke up, made some coffee, and fired up my console. And there it was – Mortal Kombat 1, ready to download. That moment felt amazing, like crossing the finish line after a long race. I started the download and waited some more.
And now, I’ve been playing it non-stop. It’s been a wild ride, full of awesome fights and crazy moments. Was the wait worth it? Absolutely. It’s been a blast!
