NetherRealm and WB Games have officially revealed the gameplay trailer for T-1000, set to join the roster of Mortal Kombat 1 next Tuesday. This character brings a unique twist to the game with his ability to transform into liquid metal, enabling him to dodge projectiles creatively. Fans of Kabal, who is absent from this installment, will find T-1000 appealing, as he incorporates some of Kabal's signature weapons and moves into his arsenal.
The trailer pays homage to the iconic film Terminator 2: Judgment Day with several notable references. One standout moment is the recreation of the famous scene where T-1000 wags his finger—a gesture notably banned in the NBA for being considered unsportsmanlike conduct. Additionally, T-1000 interacts with Johnny Cage, inquiring about the whereabouts of John Connor, adding a layer of cinematic nostalgia to the gameplay.
Alongside T-1000, the trailer introduced Madam Bo, who will also be added to Mortal Kombat 1. T-1000's Fatality showcases his ability to change his appearance and replace his victim with liquid metal, reflecting the efficient nature of his mission as a machine.
No additional announcements were made by WB Games. Rumors are circulating that this might be the final wave of new content for MK1, with speculation about a potential new game announcement on the horizon. However, these rumors remain unconfirmed.
