As a lifelong Mortal Kombat fanatic who has witnessed the rise and fall of the series through numerous iterations, I must say that the latest reveal for Noob Saibot in Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns has me absolutely thrilled! The new origin story involving Fire God Liu Kang’s timeline and Havik’s twisted goals is a fresh take on an old favorite, and I can’t wait to see how it unfolds.


After the unveiling of Noob Saibot’s return in “Mortal Kombat 1”, titled Khaos Reigns, NetherRealm Studios offers a sneak peek at the iconic character, his narrative, and of course, his deadly finishing moves known as fatalities. As the approaching expansion for “Mortal Kombat 1” draws nearer (just weeks away from release), details about Khaos Reigns are emerging more frequently.

As a diehard Mortal Kombat fan, I’m thrilled about the new expansion! It picks up right where the main game left off, delving into Fire God Liu Kang’s fresh timeline. The campaign ended with an epic clash, but in a sneaky mid-credits scene, another timeline’s Titan Havik showed up, hinting at a new fight to come.

The brand-new trailer for Mortal Kombat 1 showcases a revamped version of the classic character Noob Saibot, who is known for using portals and creating shadow doppelgängers to confound opponents. This latest preview offers fresh insights into Noob’s storyline, suggesting that Bi-Han not only suffers defeat at the hands of Titan Havik but transforms into a malevolent character with shared anarchistic ambitions. In comparison to the recent trailer for MK1 featuring Sektor, fans of Noob will recognize several familiar abilities, although they appear to have undergone subtle modifications to provide a unique feel. As anticipated, the clip concludes with Noob’s lethal brutality, gory fatality, and a tease of his new animalistic form in which he transforms into an alligator.

Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns Tweaks Noob Saibot’s Origin Slightly

Regarding Noob Saibot’s backstory in Mortal Kombat 1, there is a slight change from the original. Instead of being simply an undead form of the initial Sub-Zero, Bi-Han, this version involves the chaos deity Havik. Havik took his soul with the intention of creating a dual-purpose ally who also defies authority. The traditional storyline for Noob Saibot is that as Sub-Zero he was slain by Scorpion as retribution for his death and the destruction of his clan, which was carried out by the Lin Kuei. After being killed, the sorcerer Quan Chi resurrected Bi-Han in the Netherrealm to become a spectral wraith known as Noob Saibot.

Beyond fresh storylines and characters, there could be hidden updates in Khaos Reigns as well. Recent rumors hint at Mortal Kombat 1 potentially introducing new elements such as an online practice mode along with the enigmatic Warrior Shrine. Although NetherRealm Studios has yet to verify these details, an online practice mode might reappear from the recent installments in the series, whereas the Warrior Shrine remains a total mystery. With Khaos Reigns’ release date fast approaching, it may not be long before these features are officially confirmed.
