Get ready to experience the chilling power of the T-1000 in Mortal Kombat 1! NetherRealm Studios has unleashed the first gameplay footage of this iconic Terminator, showcasing his terrifying array of attacks. Drawing inspiration from Terminator 2, the T-1000’s moveset blends the brutal close-quarters combat of Baraka and Kabal with the shape-shifting abilities of Glacius. Witness the T-1000 morph into a liquid metal blob, only to erupt from the ground with a devastating uppercut. Robert Patrick, the original T-1000 actor, lends his voice and likeness to the character, creating an authentic and chilling portrayal. The gameplay trailer culminates in a spectacular Fatality, a reimagining of the iconic Terminator 2 chase scene, leaving Johnny Cage as a very messy pile of… well, you get the picture.
But that’s not all! NetherRealm has surprised fans with the announcement of Madam Bo as a new DLC Kameo fighter, launching alongside the T-1000. This fan-favorite character from the Mortal Kombat 1 story mode, the resourceful restaurant owner who takes on Smoke and his henchmen, will now be available to assist players in battle. Catch a quick glimpse of her in action during the trailer.
The T-1000 will be available as early access for Khaos Reigns owners on March 18th, with general release on March 25th. Madam Bo arrives on March 18th as a free update for Khaos Reigns owners or as a separate purchase.
The T-1000 marks the final DLC character for the Khaos Reigns expansion, following the additions of Cyrax, Sektor, Noob Saibot, Ghostface, and Conan the Barbarian. While fan speculation about a potential third DLC pack or Kombat Pack 3 continues, Warner Bros. Discovery has reaffirmed its commitment to the Mortal Kombat franchise, highlighting its importance in their future plans.
Ed Boon, NetherRealm’s creative director, previously stated that the studio had already chosen its next project three years prior, promising continued support for Mortal Kombat 1. While many anticipate a return to the Injustice franchise, neither NetherRealm nor Warner Bros. has confirmed this. Boon has hinted at several factors influencing the decision, including the COVID-19 pandemic and the transition to a newer Unreal Engine (Unreal Engine 4 for Mortal Kombat 1, compared to Unreal Engine 3 for Mortal Kombat 11). However, he explicitly stated that the Injustice franchise remains a possibility.
