Mortal Kombat 1: Conan Gameplay Revealed

Mortal Kombat 1 has unveiled two exciting videos back-to-back. Yesterday's esports trailer offered a tantalizing glimpse of the T-1000, but the Terminator isn't the next fighter joining the roster. Instead, Conan the Barbarian is charging onto the scene, available next week for premium edition owners. Today's gameplay trailer showcases the iconic barbarian in action.

Conan embodies the classic big-body brawler archetype. His powerful attacks promise significant damage, though his agility and speed might be less impressive. This potential drawback could be offset by an extended sword range, making him a formidable opponent at a distance. A clash between Conan and characters like General Shao, Omni-Man, and Homelander would certainly be a spectacle to behold.

While visually reminiscent of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Conan's fatality lacks the explosive impact of some other MK1 finishers. His rather straightforward acid-drowning technique might not be the most visually stunning, but the overall gameplay experience is what truly matters. Conan promises a unique and potentially fun playstyle.

Premium edition owners can unleash the Cimmerian next Tuesday, while everyone else will need to wait until January 28th to wield the legendary barbarian.
