Mortal Kombat 1 has unveiled two consecutive videos showcasing upcoming content. Yesterday's esports trailer teased the T-1000, but clarified that the Terminator isn't the next playable character. Instead, Conan the Barbarian takes center stage, launching next week for premium edition owners. Today's gameplay trailer provides a closer look at this iconic character in action.
Conan embodies the classic big-body brute archetype. His attacks appear devastatingly powerful, though his lack of agility and speed is apparent. This might be offset by his extended sword reach, making him a formidable opponent at range. It will be fascinating to see how he fares against characters like General Shao, Omni-Man, and Homelander.
While visually reminiscent of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Conan's fatality lacks the spectacular flair of some other MK1 finishers. His acid-drowning technique, while effective, feels less visually striking. Ultimately, however, the enjoyment of Mortal Kombat 1 extends beyond fatalities, and Conan's gameplay promises to be a unique and engaging experience.
Premium edition owners can unleash Conan next Tuesday, January 22nd. All other players will need to wait until January 28th to add him to their roster.
