Recently, the world of Mortal Kombat 1 has been shaken up with a new update that fans won’t want to miss. This update brings the high-profile T-1000 from Terminator 2: Judgment Day into the fray as a playable character. Appearing right on the heels of icons like Ghostface from Scream and Conan the Barbarian, the T-1000 is designed with meticulous detail, including the likeness and voice of actor Robert Patrick. Fans of the franchise can get a taste of the T-1000’s moves, which echo some of the unforgettable scenes from his original movie. Additionally, there are clever nods to Robert Patrick’s other roles interwoven into his character design. For those eager to play as this formidable machine, Early Access gamers have already started their journey, while others will be able to join in on the fun when the DLC officially drops on March 25.
Alongside the T-1000, players will also find that the update doesn’t just stop at new characters. The game has added Madam Bo, the resilient restaurateur from the game’s story mode, as a Kameo fighter. Her unique set of moves, including her deadly Kameo Fatality, offers new strategies for players. Meanwhile, existing characters in the roster haven’t been ignored – Baraka, Johnny Cage, Kenshi, Kitana, Shang Tsung, and others have received numerous tweaks and adjustments to their attacks.
On the technical side, PC players are gifted with new options to enhance their gaming experience. An additional Ray Tracing Quality setting is now available, promising a sleeker look and better performance when toggled. This is part of a larger effort to boost performance and stability across the board. Console players, particularly those on the Nintendo Switch, will notice improvements in texture quality and graphical enhancements, ensuring a more immersive experience.
With rumors of further DLC characters floating around, NetherRealm remains tight-lipped about what’s next for Mortal Kombat 1. While we await official announcements, fans can look forward to a new batch of character skins inspired by the forthcoming Mortal Kombat 2 movie, which promise to bring cinematic flair to characters like Johnny Cage, Shao Khan, and Katana.
