Mortal Kombat 1 released Conan the Barbarian gameplay trailer

Mortal Kombat 1 has unveiled two consecutive character spotlights. Yesterday's esports trailer teased the T-1000, but the Terminator isn't the immediate addition to the roster. Instead, Conan the Barbarian takes center stage, with his gameplay trailer dropping today, preceding his release next week for premium edition owners.

Conan's gameplay showcases a powerful, brutish fighting style. His attacks appear devastating, though his lack of speed and agility is apparent. This might be balanced by his extended sword reach. A clash between Conan and characters like General Shao, Omni-Man, and Homelander would be a compelling spectacle.

While visually reminiscent of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Conan's fatality lacks the spectacular flair of some other MK1 finishers. His acid-drowning technique is relatively straightforward. However, enjoyable gameplay is paramount, and Conan promises just that.

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