Mortal Kombat 1 will introduce a reborn Mortal Kombat Universe that has been created by the Fire God Liu Kang, featuring reimagined versions of iconic characters as they’ve never been seen before.
NetherRealm’s genre-defining Story Mode returns with an immersive cinematic narrative featuring unexpected twists on classic rivalries and original backstories for a wide-ranging cast of legendary fighters, including Liu Kang, Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Raiden, Kung Lao, Kitana, Mileena, Shang Tsung, Johnny Cage, and many others.
Mortal Kombat 1 will also introduce Kameo Fighters, a unique roster of partner characters that can assist during matches, creating expanded gameplay possibilities for players.
The realms will tremble under the weight of the Viltrum Empire. Omni-Man approaches our timeline.
Warner Bros. Games released a new Mortal Kombat 1 gameplay trailer spotlighting downloadable content (DLC) guest fighter Omni-Man, inspired by the Invincible comic book and Prime Video adult animated series. The new video shows off Omni-Man’s signature look, along with his formidable moveset that incorporates the character’s superhuman strength, speed, and aerial abilities.
Omni-Man, also known as Nolan Grayson, hails from the alien world of Viltrum and has long fought to protect his adopted home of Earth as one of the planet’s most powerful champions. He even raised his son, the hero known as Invincible (Mark Grayson), to follow in his footsteps and carry on his legacy. But the Viltrumite warrior’s true mission was never benevolence – it was conquest. And the Viltrum Empire, hungry for expansion, has no intention of stopping at Earthrealm.
Omni-Man will join the Mortal Kombat 1 roster on Nov. 9 as part of the early access period for Kombat Pack owners, followed by wide availability on Nov. 16.
Omni-Man in Mortal Kombat 1 is voiced by actor J. K. Simmons, who also voices the character in the Invincible animated series. Season 2 of Invincible premieres Nov. 3 on Prime Video.
The new trailer also provides a fresh glimpse at Tremor, a DLC Kameo Fighter who can assist during matches with a range of support moves. Tremor will be available as part of the Kombat Pack and for standalone purchase on Nov. 20.
