Mortal Kombat 1's latest reveals showcase Conan the Barbarian. Two back-to-back videos highlight the upcoming addition; yesterday's esports trailer teased T-1000, but Conan takes center stage this week. Today's gameplay trailer unveils the character, portraying him as a powerful, albeit less agile, brawler. His attacks appear devastating, potentially offsetting his lack of speed with a wider sword range. Matchups against characters like General Shao, Omni-Man, and Homelander promise exciting clashes.

While visually reminiscent of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Conan's fatality lacks the spectacle of some others in MK1. His acid-drowning finish, though effective, feels comparatively less impactful. However, the overall gameplay experience with Conan is expected to be engaging.

Premium edition owners gain early access, playing as Conan next Tuesday. Everyone else must wait until January 28th.
