Mortal Kombat 1, which will serve as both a sequel to MK 11 and a reboot of the iconic fighting game series, is set to hit shelves on September 14, and NetherRealm Studios and Warner Bros. Games have now debuted a new live-action trailer featuring none other than Dave Bautista (Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Dune: Part 2).
In the teaser, we see Bautista's librarian rally potential players, who let loose the familiar war cry of "Mortal Kombat."
Check out the live-action "It's In Our Blood" trailer below, and let us know if you plan on picking up the game when it releases next month.
