Warner Bros. Games has unveiled a fresh Mortal Kombat 1 gameplay trailer showcasing Ermac, the newest DLC fighter scheduled to be added to the main roster on April 16 for Kombat Pack owners during the early access period, with general availability starting on April 23.
Ermac is a collection of souls bound together by Quan Chi’s dark magic that are intended to function as a group mind. But that spell is temporarily undone when Ermac is defeated by Mileena and the mind of King Jerrod, deceased ruler of Outworld and one of the souls in Ermac’s collection, takes control and rejoins the royal family, aiding Empress Mileena’s reign. Eventually, the amalgam of souls reestablishes control, and Ermac retreats to Outworld’s shadows.
No longer Quan Chi’s slave, nor bound to the royal family, he must find a future worth fighting for. In the new video, Ermac’s devastating moveset is on full display, including his ability to teleport, levitate, and utilize a legion of souls to grab, lift, and slam opponents to the ground.
The trailer also showcases Mavado, a fresh addition to the Kameo Fighter DLC, offering support in battles with a variety of moves. Mavado is set to debut in May 2024, accessible through the Kombat Pack or as a separate purchase.
Mortal Kombat 1 is available now for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC (Steam and Epic Games Store).
