Ed Boon recently announced on X that NetherRealm Studios will be releasing a new trailer featuring Cyrax’s gameplay and story in Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns. In the meantime, he left us with a sneak peek at more gameplay for Cyrax.
The scene starts off with the intro dialogue between Cyrax and Sub-Zero. It’s interesting to note that Cyrax’s mask is off during this exchange, showcasing once again how the Lin Kuei’s Cyber Initiative is functionally different within this timeline.
“You swore an oath to the Lin Kuei,” began Sub-Zero in the opening scene of the clip.
“I swore an oath to protect Earthrealm,” countered Cyrax. This seems like a shot specifically aimed at Bi-Han considering his betrayal in the main storyline.
Following this, we then get to see new snippets of Cyrax’s gameplay. There are a few new details that were not in the original Khaos Reigns trailer.
Initially, fans were concerned that Cyrax may have changed too much considering that one of her attacks trapped the opponent via a bomb that enshrouds the opponent with a sticky, expanding substance. However, it turns out that Cyrax has retained the iconic net, though it’s used in a different way.
Check it all out below:
