Mortal Kombat 1's Story Mode is the main single player mode available. How long it takes to beat Mortal Kombat 1's Story Mode largely depends on how you get on with the difficulty of the game, but for most players Mortal Kombat 1 should take around six to eight hours to complete. That being said, this Story Mode is probably the easiest one in NetherRealm Studios history, so it may be even faster for some.

However, Story Mode isn't the only single player mode available in Mortal Kombat 1, there's also Invasions which is set to change up roughly every 40 days. Due to the ever-changing nature of the mode there's no concrete time to beat, but playing through the current batch of content shouldn't take more than five to seven hours. Just keep in mind that each season may vary in length.

And of course, Mortal Kombat 1 has Towers which is the game's version of Arcade Mode where you can unlock endings for each fighter. Playing the version of the Tower with the least amount of fights will take about 15 to 20 minutes each, but of course that number will go up if you want to tackle the longer Towers. You'll be able to unlock each ending with the shortest tower, so you won't need to play the harder variants unless you want to challenge yourself.

That's how long it takes to beat Mortal Kombat 1 for each single player mode. But this doesn't account for the endless replayablility thanks to the Local Multiplayer and Online – at least for as long as the severs stay online.
