Mortal Kombat 1’s Subsequent Journey Is a Krisis on Infinite Earths

When Mortal Kombat 1 got here out final yr, it gave the preventing franchise a full-on reboot with new standing quos for its characters. By the point the credit rolled on the story mode, it was clear that NetherRealm was going to do like comics and dip into some multiversal insanity for the forseeable future. And like different tales centered on alternate realities, it’s all resulting in a bunch of bloody fights.

Through the sport’s panel at San Diego Comedian-Con, NetherRealm revealed the upcoming Khaos Reigns enlargement. Plot-wise, it takes place a while after MK1’s story, and issues an evil Titan model of Havik threatening the brand new prime universe holding Liu Kang and firm. Serving to the group in opposition to Titan Havik are new variations of Cyrax (Enuka Onuma) and Sektor (Erika Ishii), right here reimagined as human ladies sporting armor much like their authentic cyborg ninja designs. However this Havik’s received an ace up his sleeve in Bi-Han (Kaiji Tang), who had his soul reworked into Noob Saibot. The Aftermath enlargement for Mortal Kombat 11 arrange the story for MK1, so you possibly can in all probability guess on some Khaos making some massive strikes of its personal.

Together with these three, three visitor stars will be part of Mortal Kombat 1’s roster. When you’ve ever wished to slice up any MK characters as Ghostface from Scream, the T-1000 from Terminator 2, or Conan the Barbarian, right here’s your likelihood. Each Roger Jackson and Robert Patrick are mentioned to be reprising their respective roles as Ghostface and the T-1000, whereas Conan’s voice actor is but to be revealed. It’ll be attention-grabbing to see who’s behind Ghostface, particularly given the franchise’s usually wild non-canonical endings.

Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns launches on September 24, both as its personal factor or bundled with the bottom sport and first DLC pack.
