Superstar Appearances

On September 24, the Khaos Reigns DLC will be released in Mortal Kombat 1, ushering in six new characters with impressive profiles:

• T-1000 (Terminator)
• Ghostface
• Conan the Barbarian
• Noob Saibot
• Sektor
• Cyrax

The ‘celebrity crossover’ characters will be available sometime after the launch of the DLC, with NetherRealm opting to drip-feed them in while making Saibot, Sektor, and Cyrax available at launch. The developer has managed to secure the original voice actors for both Ghostface and the T-1000, which is neat.

Boon also spoke about the return of Animalities, the mechanic that sees various characters transform into vicious creatures during a Fatality strike. He spoke at length about the inbound story update, which will focus on Havok and his role in the overarching universe.

All in all, it’s a fairly hefty offering and it should do well to please fans of the gory fighting game for a few more months.
