Conan the Barbarian Gameplay Trailer Released for Mortal Kombat 1

Mortal Kombat 1 has been on a roll, dropping two exciting videos back-to-back. Yesterday's esports trailer teased fans with a glimpse of the T-1000, but don't get too excited— the iconic Terminator isn't the next fighter joining the roster. Instead, get ready for the legendary Conan the Barbarian, who will be slashing his way into the game next week, exclusively for premium edition holders. Today, the MK1 team released a gameplay trailer showcasing this iconic character in action.

Conan fits the archetype of a Big-Body brute perfectly. His powerful attacks likely pack a serious punch, but don't expect him to be nimble on his feet. However, his sword might give him an edge with extra reach, compensating for his lack of speed. It would be thrilling to see how Conan stacks up against other heavy hitters like General Shao, Omni-Man, and Homelander.

While Conan sports the unmistakable look of Arnold Schwarzenegger, his fatality might leave fans wanting more. Instead of a flashy finish, Conan simply drowns his opponent in a pool of acid, which lacks the flair seen in some other MK1 fatalities. But remember, Mortal Kombat is not just about the finishing move; Conan the Barbarian is sure to bring a fun and engaging gameplay experience to the table.

If you're a premium edition holder, you'll have the chance to try out Conan next Tuesday. For everyone else, mark your calendars for January 28th to join in on the action.
