Conan the Barbarian Gameplay Revealed in Mortal Kombat 1 Trailer

Mortal Kombat 1 has thrilled fans with back-to-back video releases. Yesterday's esports trailer tantalized viewers with a glimpse of the T-1000, but the legendary Terminator isn't the next fighter to join the roster. Instead, the iconic Conan the Barbarian, resembling the legendary Arnold Schwarzenegger, will be available next week exclusively for premium edition holders. Today, the MK1 team unveiled a gameplay trailer showcasing this formidable character.

Conan embodies the classic Big-Body brute archetype, delivering powerful attacks that likely inflict substantial damage. While he may lack in agility and speed, his extended sword range could compensate for these shortcomings. It would be fascinating to see how Conan fares against other heavy hitters like General Shao, Omni-Man, and Homelander in the arena.

Despite Conan's striking resemblance to Schwarzenegger, his fatality falls short of the wow factor typically associated with Mortal Kombat's gruesome finishing moves. Instead of a charismatic end, Conan simply submerges his opponent in a pool of acid. However, the game's appeal extends beyond its fatalities, and Conan the Barbarian is poised to offer engaging gameplay experiences.

If you're among the premium edition owners, you can experience Conan's might as early as next Tuesday. For everyone else, the wait extends until January 28. Get ready to witness the Barbarian's prowess in Mortal Kombat 1.
