In the wake of its official announcement, Mortal Kombat 1 has been consistently introducing a host of fresh characters, some making a return and others making their debut. While fans await the chance to witness these Kombat 1 characters in action, NetherRealm Studios has chosen Gamescom 2023 ONL as the platform to reveal three more characters, all of whom are revamped versions of familiar faces.
Return of Three Iconic Mortal Kombat Characters
The newly unveiled trailer, aptly named “Rulers of the Outworld,” brings back three beloved characters from the earlier Mortal Kombat games. First up is Shao Kahn, the former ruler of the underworld who has now assumed the role of a general in the new timeline. Shao Kahn’s design retains much of his classic appearance, complete with his trademark skull mask and axe. The trailer offers a glimpse of Shao Kahn’s signature BnB combos and normal moves.
The second character making a return is Sindel, the queen of the Outworld and once the wife of Shao Kahn. In this iteration, Sindel shares the rule of the Outworld with Kitana and Mileena. Her distinctive white hair remains a key feature, which she employs as a weapon against her adversaries. The trailer showcases Sindel’s BnB combo and a visually striking X-ray move, known for its brutality and flair. Additionally, the trailer includes a surprise appearance by Motaro, a boss character from previous Mortal Kombat games.
Last but not least, the trailer introduces Raiden, the champion of the Earthrealm. Having previously served as the protector of the Earthrealm, Raiden wields his signature lightning abilities. This time around, he appears noticeably younger compared to the previous timeline, sporting black hair. Raiden’s classic moves, including his teleportation technique, are still intact. The trailer provides a preview of Raiden’s combos and an X-ray move that features the assistance of Shujinko from Mortal Kombat and the summoning of spectral versions of Raiden to combat Shao Kahn.
These three characters will join the base roster of Mortal Kombat 1, set to launch on September 19 for PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 5. Fans can look forward to experiencing the revamped appearances and combat styles of these iconic figures in the latest installment of the game.
