Mortal Kombat 1 released Conan the Barbarian gameplay trailer

Mortal Kombat 1 has unveiled two consecutive character reveals. Yesterday's esports trailer teased T-1000, but the Terminator isn't the immediate addition to the roster. Instead, Conan the Barbarian takes center stage, launching next week for premium edition owners. Today's gameplay trailer showcases the Cimmerian warrior.

Conan's gameplay reflects his brutish nature; powerful attacks likely deliver significant damage, though speed and agility appear limited. His sword's reach may compensate for this, but matchups against characters like General Shao, Omni-Man, and Homelander will be intriguing to witness.

While visually reminiscent of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Conan's fatality lacks the spectacular flair of some other MK1 finishers. A relatively straightforward acid bath execution may disappoint some. However, the overall gameplay experience with Conan is expected to be entertaining.

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