Mortal Kombat 1 has been rolling out exciting content with back-to-back video releases. Just yesterday, fans were treated to an esports trailer featuring a sneak peek of the T-1000, but don't get too excited—Terminator isn't the next fighter stepping into the ring. Instead, the iconic Conan the Barbarian, inspired by the legendary Arnold Schwarzenegger, will be joining the roster next week, exclusively for premium edition holders. Today, the MK1 team unveiled a thrilling gameplay trailer showcasing Conan's brute strength and combat style.
As a classic Big-Body character, Conan is all about raw power. His attacks are likely to pack a serious punch, though he may lack in agility and speed. However, his extended reach with the sword could be a game-changer, adding a new dynamic to battles. It will be fascinating to watch Conan go head-to-head with other heavyweights like General Shao, Omni-Man, and Homelander.
While Conan's appearance channels the essence of Schwarzenegger, his fatality might not leave you as awestruck as some of the other MK1 fatalities. In this move, Conan simply submerges his opponent in a pool of acid, which feels somewhat underwhelming in comparison. Nevertheless, Mortal Kombat 1 is more than just about the finishing moves, and Conan's gameplay is expected to bring a lot of fun to the table.
If you're a premium edition owner, you'll get the chance to play as Conan as early as next Tuesday. For everyone else, mark your calendars for January 28 to experience the might of Conan the Barbarian in Mortal Kombat 1.
