Conan the Barbarian Gameplay Revealed in Mortal Kombat 1 Trailer

Mortal Kombat 1 has delighted fans with back-to-back video releases. Just yesterday, we were treated to an esports trailer that included a brief glimpse of the T-1000, stirring excitement among fans. However, contrary to what many might have assumed, the iconic Terminator will not be the next fighter to join the roster. Instead, the legendary Conan the Barbarian is set to make his debut next week, exclusively for premium edition holders. Today, the MK1 team unveiled a gameplay trailer showcasing this iconic character in action.

From the trailer, it's clear that Conan embodies the classic Big-Body brute archetype. His powerful attacks likely pack a significant punch, though his agility and speed may leave something to be desired. However, his reach might be extended thanks to his sword, potentially compensating for any lack of speed. It would be fascinating to witness Conan go head-to-head with other heavyweights like General Shao, Omni-Man, and Homelander in the arena.

While Conan's appearance bears a striking resemblance to Arnold Schwarzenegger, his fatality might not meet the high expectations set by other MK1 fatalities. The move, which involves drowning the opponent in a pool of acid, seems to lack the flair and charisma that fans have come to expect. Nevertheless, Mortal Kombat 1 is about more than just the finishing moves, and Conan the Barbarian could offer an engaging and enjoyable gameplay experience.

Premium edition owners will have the opportunity to play as Conan starting next Tuesday, while everyone else will need to wait until January 28 to experience this legendary warrior in action.
