The teaser from three weeks ago hinted at significant content with the arrival of Homelander in Mortal Kombat 1, and it has been delivered. Warner Bros Games and NetherRealm Studios have released the gameplay trailer for The Boys series’ anti-hero, and it meets expectations. In terms of character modeling, which is clearly inspired by Amazon Prime Video’s series, as well as his homicidal and narcissistic traits driven by an insatiable need for recognition, love, and power, Homelander stays true to form. When facing Mortal Kombat protagonists, he shows no restraint and will use his powers with the same ruthlessness he is known for. From performing airplane stunts to using his venomous rays to explode opponents’ guts, he adheres to his principles. Homelander will be available in Mortal Kombat 1 on June 4th as part of the Kombat Pack, which can also be purchased separately.
