So, we have listed out what you can expect from the premium edition.

The Premium Edition includes the Kombat Pack, which gives you access to six new playable characters, five new Kameo characters, and an exclusive Jean-Claude Van Damme skin for Johnny Cage.
The Premium Edition also includes 1,250 Dragon Krystals, which are the in-game currency that can be used to purchase in-game cosmetics.
Last is most obvious, the five-day early access.
