[Gambid]

Netherrealm Studios just lifted the vail surrounding Conan the Barbarian, the 5th Kombat Pack 2 DLC character to join the ever growing roster of Mortal Kombat 1 (2023). They offered us a lot of new information, footage and screenshots, so lets start. First here is the gameplay trailer for the new character.

The trailer gives us a very good look at Conan's mastery with the sword and some of his special and finishing moves.

Here is what the developer has to say about the Conan the Barbarian:

Downloadable content guest fighter Conan the Barbarian is the towering Cimmerian warrior from the Conan the Barbarian (1982) film, featuring the likeness of actor Arnold Schwarzenegger in the role of the title character.

Born on a battlefield, Conan has become one of the most formidable warriors the world has ever seen through relentless toil and kombat. Sold into slavery after his parents are slain and village destroyed by the malevolent warlord Thulsa Doom, he is eventually freed by his master and embarks on a quest for vengeance, his journey culminating in the defeat of Doom, liberating thousands from his sorcerous grip. In Mortal Kombat 1, Conan stands ready to defend Earthrealm against the vile beings that mean to conquer it.

Conan’s distinct yet devastating moveset is on full display in the new trailer and is built around his iconic Atlantean Sword. The master blade-wielder can perform complex maneuvers with the imposing steel weapon, including his intricate sword spinning and signature overhead chop to take down opponents with brute force. The video also reveals one of Conan’s gruesome Fatalities and teases the fighter’s Animality, the brutal finishing move that morphs the character into a powerful bull to annihilate defeated opponents. The fan favorite Animalities are available now as a free content update for all Mortal Kombat 1 owners.

To promote the new fighter and all the additional upcoming changes to the game, Netherrealm Studios released the 12th instalment of the Mortal Kombat 1 (2023) Kombat Kast, focusing on Conan the Barbarian and giving a lot of information about the upcoming balance changes and new/modified moves for characters such as Reiko, Raiden and Kitana.

In addition it also revealed that Invasions Season 10 will be a repeat of the Season of the Blood Moon. The season first appeared as Season 2, when Invasions was a far cry from its current state in terms of encounter variety and overall gameplay maturity. So here we also expect that this season will feel very much like a new one. The developer is also promising new rewards to be added, including for some of the DLC characters.

Conan looks awesome. All these sword moves and armor, plus the revive special in the same vein as Jason Voorhees from MKX, he's really slashing his way to MK1.

Also I'm really curious to see how it will be to use his Kameo throw special with Motaro and Goro, that is... a very BIG thought in my head now.

And regarding Invasions, yes there is a lot more variety now, the variety back then was still very good, and the mode already had the gameplay maturity, both back then and now. And now with new skins to unlock not only for for the main roster for also the DLC characters, we got a whole bunch of stuff to do with Invasions, showing the single player replay value that MK1 offers, and I can't wait for it.
