Mortal Kombat 1 has been rolling out exciting content with back-to-back video releases. Yesterday's esports trailer teased fans with a glimpse of the T-1000, yet the iconic Terminator won't be the next fighter to join the roster. Instead, Conan the Barbarian, a character that embodies the essence of Arnold Schwarzenegger, is set to make his grand entrance next week. Premium edition owners can look forward to wielding this legendary warrior as early as next Tuesday, while others will need to mark their calendars for January 28.
Today, the MK1 team unveiled a gameplay trailer showcasing Conan in action. True to his roots, Conan is depicted as a formidable Big-Body brute, likely delivering heavy-hitting attacks that pack a punch. While he may not boast the agility and speed of some other fighters, his extended sword range could provide a strategic advantage in battles. It's intriguing to envision how Conan will fare against other heavyweights like General Shao, Omni-Man, and Homelander.
Despite Conan's striking resemblance to Arnold Schwarzenegger, his fatality might not leave you in awe. The move involves drowning an opponent in a pool of acid, which, while effective, seems to lack the flair and charisma seen in other MK1 fatalities. However, Mortal Kombat 1 is more than just its finishing moves, and Conan's addition promises to inject fresh and engaging gameplay into the mix.
