Mortal Kombat 1: Will It Have Friendship Feature?

Check out the detailed guide on Friendship finishing move in Mortal Kombat 1 and if it will be a part of the game. 

So far, Mortal Kombat 1 does not offer Friendship as a finishing move; however, it might get added in the near future. You won’t be able to find the MK1 friendship move in the main menu, and there is no news of them getting added so far.

Before the official launch, the Co-creator Ed Boon expressed that they wanted to cover finishing moves that they have not done recently in San Diego Comic-Con 2023, covered by Screen Rant Plus.

Key Takeaways
  • Friendship is a finishing move that might be a part of Mortal Kombat 1. 
  • Friendship is a counterpart of Fatality, and the character will perform an act of goodwill or kindness towards the end of the match. 
  • The Friendship feature might be introduced as a part of a patch update later but is not available to use in Mortal Kombat 1 as of initial release. 

What Is MK Friendship 

Introduced in Mortal Kombat 11, Friendship is a finishing move that is a counterpart of Fatality. In case a friendship move is added in MK1, you will be able to execute a specific button sequence and activate it.

In the friendship finishing move, the character will perform an act of kindness instead of ripping their opponent apart. The move includes ice skating, painting pictures, giving a birthday present, bubbles, making food, or doing a special dance. 

  • It is important to end the round in either a low kick or a high kick only if you want the MK1 friendship finishing move to activate. 
  • One of the famous friendship finishing moves is Johnny Cage.
  • He will give you a signed autograph or do a vaudeville dance.
  • Another Mortal Kombat 1 friendship move includes Mileena spinning around and cuddling a teddy bear and then having a tea party with two teddy bears dressed up as Jade and Kitana.
