NetherRealm Studios released a new gameplay trailer for Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns featuring Conan the Barbarian in action. The iconic character features the likeness of Arnold Schwarzenegger and will be added to the roster on January 21st during the early access period. He will then be available for purchase on January 28th across Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC. The trailer is included below along with some additional details:
Born on a battlefield, Conan has become one of the most formidable warriors the world has ever seen through relentless toil and kombat. Sold into slavery after his parents are slain and village destroyed by the malevolent warlord Thulsa Doom, he is eventually freed by his master and embarks on a quest for vengeance, his journey culminating in the defeat of Doom, liberating thousands from his sorcerous grip. In Mortal Kombat 1, Conan stands ready to defend Earthrealm against the vile beings that mean to conquer it.
Conan’s distinct yet devastating moveset is on full display in the new trailer and is built around his iconic Atlantean Sword. The master blade-wielder can perform complex maneuvers with the imposing steel weapon, including his intricate sword spinning and signature overhead chop to take down opponents with brute force. The video also reveals one of Conan’s gruesome Fatalities and teases the fighter’s Animality, the brutal finishing move that morphs the character into a powerful bull to annihilate defeated opponents. The fan-favorite Animalities are available now as a free content update for all Mortal Kombat 1 owners.
