Mortal Kombat 1 has been keeping fans on their toes with back-to-back video releases. Just yesterday, the esports trailer teased the T-1000, but don't get too excited—Terminator isn't the next fighter to join the roster. Instead, next week, premium edition holders will get their hands on the legendary Conan the Barbarian. Today, the MK1 team unveiled a gameplay trailer showcasing this iconic character in action.
Conan embodies the classic Big-Body brute archetype. His powerful attacks likely pack a punch, though he may lack in agility and speed. However, his sword's extended reach could compensate for this. It would be thrilling to see how Conan stacks up against other heavy hitters like General Shao, Omni-Man, and Homelander.
While Conan's appearance channels the essence of Arnold Schwarzenegger, his fatality might not leave you in awe. He simply submerges his opponent in a pool of acid, which lacks the flair seen in other MK1 fatalities. Nonetheless, the game's appeal extends beyond just the finishing moves, and Conan the Barbarian is poised to offer engaging gameplay.
If you're a premium edition owner, you can dive into the action with Conan next Tuesday. For everyone else, mark your calendars for January 28.
