Mortal Kombat 1 released Conan the Barbarian gameplay trailer

Mortal Kombat 1 has unveiled two consecutive character reveals. Yesterday's esports trailer offered a glimpse of the T-1000, but the Terminator isn't the immediate addition to the roster. Conan the Barbarian takes center stage, launching next week for premium edition owners, with today's release of his gameplay trailer.

Conan embodies the classic powerhouse archetype. His attacks appear devastating, though his lack of agility and speed might be offset by his extended sword reach. A clash between Conan and characters like General Shao, Omni-Man, and Homelander would be a compelling spectacle.

While visually reminiscent of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Conan's fatality lacks the spectacular impact of some other MK1 finishers. His acid-drowning technique feels somewhat underwhelming. However, gameplay is paramount, and Conan promises an engaging fighting experience.

Premium edition owners gain early access on Tuesday, while others must wait until January 28th.
