Mortal Kombat 1 has recently treated fans to back-to-back video releases. Just yesterday, the excitement was palpable with an esports trailer that included a brief teaser of T-1000. However, it's not the legendary Terminator who's stepping into the arena next. Instead, fans can look forward to the arrival of Conan the Barbarian, who will be available to premium edition holders as early as next week. Today, the MK1 team delighted us with a gameplay trailer showcasing this iconic character.
Conan is depicted as the quintessential Big-Body brute in the game. His powerful attacks are likely to inflict significant damage, though he lacks the agility and speed of some other fighters. This might be offset by the extended range of his sword, adding a strategic depth to his gameplay. It would be fascinating to witness Conan's battles against characters like General Shao, Omni-Man, and Homelander, as their encounters could highlight his strengths and weaknesses.
While Conan bears a striking resemblance to Arnold Schwarzenegger, his fatality might not leave audiences in awe. Instead of the expected flair, Conan's finishing move involves drowning his opponent in a pool of acid, which some might find lacking in the charisma seen in other MK1 fatalities. Nonetheless, the game is more than just about its finishing moves, and Conan the Barbarian is poised to offer an engaging gameplay experience.
If you're a premium edition holder, you can dive into the action with Conan next Tuesday. For everyone else, the wait extends until January 28. Get ready to experience the power and might of Conan the Barbarian in Mortal Kombat 1.
