While fighting games aren’t exactly known for a gripping single-player campaign, that’s not the case with the Mortal Kombat franchise. With characters and lore dating back to the ’90s, franchise fans are almost always keen to know what’s happening in each game’s story mode.

If you’re wondering how long the Mortal Kombat 11 story mode is, we now have our answer! Speaking to GameReactor, Dominic Cianciolo, Story Director at NetherRealm Studios, have pegged the Mortal Kombat 11 story mode to be at around eight hours long.

I can roughly estimate how long the cinematics and everything are but I can’t tell you exactly how long the story mode will be.” We did however learn from a representative that the story is looking to be around eight hours long. – Dominic Cianciolo, Story Director at NetherRealm Studios

Given this is a fighting game that focuses on multiplayer, eight hours seems like a perfectly good amount of time, no? Of course, there are cutscenes and whatnot, but even so, fans will be pleased to know that NetherRealm won’t be skimping on the game’s story.
