Conan the Barbarian Gameplay Trailer Released for Mortal Kombat 1

Mortal Kombat 1 has been keeping fans on their toes with back-to-back video releases. Just yesterday, the esports trailer teased the iconic T-1000, but it turns out the legendary Terminator isn't the next fighter to join the roster. Instead, next week, premium edition holders will get their hands on none other than Conan the Barbarian. Today, the MK1 team unveiled a gameplay trailer for this iconic character, showcasing what he brings to the fight.

Conan embodies the classic Big-Body brute archetype. His powerful attacks likely pack a serious punch, though he may lack the agility and speed of some other fighters. However, his sword's extended reach could compensate for this, adding a strategic layer to his gameplay. It would be fascinating to see how Conan stacks up against other heavy hitters like General Shao, Omni-Man, and Homelander.

While Conan's appearance is reminiscent of Arnold Schwarzenegger, his fatality might not leave you in awe. The move involves drowning the opponent in a pool of acid, which, while brutal, lacks the flair seen in some other MK1 fatalities. Nevertheless, Mortal Kombat is about more than just the finishing move, and Conan the Barbarian is poised to offer engaging gameplay experiences.

If you're a premium edition owner, you can dive into the action with Conan next Tuesday. For everyone else, the wait extends until January 28. Get ready to experience the might of the Barbarian in Mortal Kombat 1!
