Mortal Kombat 1 has unveiled two consecutive character showcases. Yesterday's esports trailer hinted at the T-1000, but the Terminator isn't the immediate addition to the roster. Instead, Conan the Barbarian takes center stage, launching next week for premium edition owners. Today's gameplay trailer reveals the Cimmerian warrior in action.
Conan embodies the classic powerhouse archetype. His attacks appear devastating, though his lack of agility and speed is evident. This might be offset by his extended sword range. A clash between Conan and characters like General Shao, Omni-Man, and Homelander would certainly be compelling.
While visually resembling Arnold Schwarzenegger, Conan's fatality lacks the spectacular flair of some other MK1 finishers. His acid-drowning technique is somewhat underwhelming. However, the overall gameplay experience with Conan promises to be entertaining.
Premium edition owners gain early access on Tuesday, while others must wait until January 28th.
