Besides these new characters, this DLC will also incorporate Animality finishers and additional story chapters to enhance the gameplay. Expected to launch on September 24, players eagerly anticipate immersing themselves in the enriched Mortal Kombat experience with all the newly added features, some of which have been long-awaited series favorites.

Looking back to 1992, the chronicle of “Mortal Kombat” extends over several decades. Throughout this history, the franchise has consistently discovered creative ways to refine its gameplay mechanics while maintaining a connection to its original content. In “Mortal Kombat 3”, Animalities were introduced, allowing characters to transform into different animals for performing more spectacular final moves. Some players found this feature overly absurd, but many fans cherished the quirky aspect of the series and have been eagerly anticipating a return of Animalities in “Mortal Kombat 1”.

NetherRealm Confirms Kombatant Animalities

From the words of NetherRealm, the Animalities represent a Kombatant’s spirit animal morph, echoing their unique persona in a fascinating way. While many remain hidden for now, some have already unveiled their Animalities. For instance, Mileena, a character with an intriguing backstory, will manifest as a lethal Orchid Mantis in her Animality. This form underscores the significance of Mileena’s teeth, one of her most defining and iconic traits.

The ability for guest characters in Mortal Kombat to acquire Animalities provides NetherRealm with the opportunity to creatively reimagine these combatants. During the podcast, it was hinted that Peacemaker’s Animality is exceptional, although they haven’t revealed the details yet. Additionally exciting are Homelander and Ghostface, who will also receive Animalities. With Ghostface already boasting a Fatalilty that has fans excited, NetherRealm now has an opportunity to exceed gamers’ expectations even more.
