In just a few days, the ‘Khaos Reigns’ DLC will likely reignite interest in Mortal Kombat 1, as Ed Boon’s teams have planned a significant amount of entirely new content. This includes an extension to the storyline centered around a new threat from an alternate continuum, orchestrated by the ruthless Titan Havik. Liu Kang and his status as the God of Fire must gather his champions and even form alliances with enemies to survive. This narrative addition introduces new characters such as female versions of Cyrax and Sektor. While some players initially expressed concerns about these changes, they were relieved to see that Noob Saibot remains the original Sub-Zero and is more formidable than ever.
Regarding new characters, the launch trailer for the ‘Khaos Reigns’ DLC has also revealed Ghostface in action. The infamous Scream series killer appears at the very end of the video to unveil his hardcore Fatality, particularly since the Scream killer always acts in pairs. Despite his lack of power, his sharp knife allows him to cut skulls in half for a suitably gory result. Ghostface will later be joined by the T-1000 from Terminator (in its Terminator 2: Judgment Day version), as well as Conan the Barbarian. Note that four new character skins will also be offered as pre-order bonuses for Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns, including Scorpion Wedding, Mileena Empress, and classic Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 versions of Sub-Zero and Noob Saibot.
The release of the ‘Khaos Reigns’ DLC for Mortal Kombat 1 is scheduled for September 24th. This addition will introduce new storyline content featuring a threat from an alternate dimension led by Titan Havik, requiring players to assist Liu Kang and his champions in surviving by forming alliances with their enemies. New characters include female versions of Cyrax and Sektor, along with the original Sub-Zero and Noob Saibot. Additionally, the DLC will feature Ghostface from the Scream franchise, followed by T-1000 from Terminator 2: Judgment Day and Conan the Barbarian. Pre-order bonuses for Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns include four new character skins: Scorpion Wedding, Mileena Empress, as well as classic Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 versions of Sub-Zero and Noob Saibot.
