After a weekend filled with Mortal Kombat announcements at San Diego Comic-Con, NetherRealm Studios and Warner Bros. Games have one more surprise up their sleeve: The Mortal Kombat 1 preorder beta test will run August 18-21.
The official Mortal Kombat Twitter confirmed the details for the beta, which will be available on both Xbox Series X|S and PS5 to those who preorder the game. This follows the closed network stress test, which was held in late June.

The beta test will feature six playable characters and four Kameo fighters, an increase from the four playable characters and three Kameos featured in June’s network stress test. Sub-Zero, Kenshi, Kitana, Liu Kang, Johnny Cage, and Li Mei make up the playable roster, while Frost joins Sonya, Kano, and Jax as selectable Kameos.
