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:
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.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.
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.
