NetherRealm Studios and Warner Bros. Games have just hit fans with a tidal wave of information about upcoming content set to release for Mortal Kombat 1. The new update is coming up this Fall as an all-new expansion called “Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns,” and there are a lot of amazing goodies for fans to look forward to with it.
Coming right off of their official panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2024, the companies released an official announcement trailer for Khaos Reigns that details a lot of what we can expect to get when it rolls around. For starters, though, fans will see Khaos Reigns launch on September 24, 2024.
This new trailer begins with a look at the upcoming cinematic story expansion. We see that a new version of Havik appears to be the main villain this time around, and this blood thirsty warrior wants to spread anarchy across the realms.
“This new Havik is different from ours,” a voice can be heard saying over clips of more story scenes. “He doesn’t want freedom. He wants to burn everything down.”
A handful of cinematic story scenes are shown that feature the new Sektor and Cyrax in this trailer as well. These are mixed in with our first-ever look at gameplay for both upcoming DLC characters.
Sektor can be seen fighting with rocket boosted punches, the ability to fire a flamethrower, and retractable arms that emerge from her back and do things like grab the opponent and slam them into the ground. Cryax’s gameplay reveals a special move that functions very similar to classic Cyrax’s net, but instead it appears as a green foam that traps the opponent. We also see grenades and a wild air flip kick as part of her arsenal.
