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, with a gameplay trailer released today, preceding his arrival next week for premium edition owners.

Conan's gameplay showcases a powerful, albeit less agile, brawler archetype. His attacks appear devastating, potentially offsetting his slower speed with extended sword reach. Matchups against characters like General Shao, Omni-Man, and Homelander promise intriguing strategic possibilities.

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

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