When Does Mortal Kombat 1 Beta Start?

Experience early fatalities.

Mortal Kombat 1 features a rebooted universe set within the Mortal Kombat universe. I personally can't wait to dive in and see what Liu Kang has done after taking over Earth Realm. Fortunately, NetherRealm Studios and Warner Bros. games are letting me and other players play early through the Mortal Kombat 1 Beta. But that leaves the question of when the beta for Mortal Kombat 1 begins.
