Mortal Kombat 1stands as one of the premier fighting games in the current gaming landscape. Although it has had a rocky start to its life, constant updates, support, and new content for the game have allowed NetherRealm Studio to craft an incredible game.
One of the most defining aspects of the game was that it followed the franchise’s core philosophy and elevated it to levels that we never expected. However, it’s clear that the developers have failed to deliver on one crucial aspect, which could lead to the downfall of the franchise if it doesn’t get resolved by the next entry.
Gamers Believe Mortal Kombat 1 Has a Terrible Intro Dialogues
There’s no doubt that intro dialogues are probably one of the most underrated aspects of the franchise. This feature was redefined withMortal KombatX, which dropped in 2015 for gamers who were hungry for the franchise’s over-the-top action. It was truly a generational fighting game.

However, over on Reddit, many fans of the franchise believe that Ed Boon and his team have failed to deliver well-constructed intro dialogues in recent entries. It’s almost like they’ve become just casual conversations between two characters and have lost their touch.
Why do even dialogues matter? Well, they are a cornerstone of theMortal Kombatgame’s narrative and immersion. It’s one of the best ways to get a peek into a character’s motivations, rivalries, and backstories. This allows gamers to have a complete understanding of the conflict and stakes before they head out to fight!
This aspect of the rebooted games was a perfect move by NetherRealm to help players connect with various fighters in the game. However, it’s a shame that they’ve scaled down on it in the recent games.
If the studio polished intro dialogues and a few other features inMortal Kombat 1, the game would’ve never suffered at the launch and could’ve been the real success story of the year.
Let’s Hope The Next Mortal Kombat Game Improves on Intro Dialogues
With the franchise boasting twelve mainline games, and several spinoffs, it’s almost guaranteed that the successfulMortal Kombat 1will get a sequel treatment. However, the sequel’s success hinges on NetherRealm Studio’s ability to solve the problems of the previous entry, particularly the intro dialogues.

If the studio wants to fix intro dialogues, it needs to aim for more dynamic interactions that reflect the fighters’ current storyline and relationships. The sequel requires content-specific banter, which could be linked to events orcharacter arcs from theMortal Kombatfranchise.
What’s really crucial is the overall pacing of the dialogue. The studio must make the intros longer, just likeMortal Kombat 1,and make them focused and polished. The franchise features an incredible lore with established characters, and gamers would love to dig deeper into it with intros.
