After revealing his in-game appearance and Brutality, NetherRealm confirmed that Conan the Barbarian will join Mortal Kombat 1’s roster on January 28th. However, Kombat Pack 2 and Khaos Reigns owners can start playing on January 21st. Check out his gameplay trailer below.
Based on the 1982 film of the same name and featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger’s likeness, much of Conan’s moves involve his sword. Some particularly devastating moves include slicing and embedding his sword into an opponent’s shoulder before forcefully removing it, and powerful spins. He can also stab an enemy, his their body over his head and slam them down.
As for his Fatality, it’s pretty straightforward, as Conan boils his opponent in a cauldron, later extracting their skull to admire it. Meanwhile, his Animality involves morphing into a bull and goring threats.
Stay tuned for more details when Conan the Barbarian goes live. Mortal Kombat 1 is available for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, PC, and Nintendo Switch. Check out our reviews for the base game and Khaos Reigns.
