Mortal Kombat 1 has unveiled back-to-back character reveals. Yesterday's esports trailer hinted at the T-1000, but the Terminator isn't the immediate addition. Instead, Conan the Barbarian takes center stage, boasting a newly released gameplay trailer. Premium edition owners gain early access next week.
Conan's gameplay showcases a powerful, albeit less agile, fighting style. His strength and potentially extended sword reach might compensate for his lack of speed. A clash between Conan and characters like General Shao, Omni-Man, and Homelander would certainly be a spectacle.
While visually reminiscent of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Conan's fatality, a rather underwhelming acid bath, lacks the visual flair of some other MK1 finishers. However, compelling gameplay is more than just flashy fatalities, and Conan promises an engaging experience.
Premium edition players can unleash Conan on Tuesday. Everyone else must wait until January 28th.
