Mortal Kombat 1 Reveals Takeda Fatalities and More

Highlights

  • Takeda is the final character for Mortal Kombat 1‘s first Kombat Pass, which brought mix of returning and new characters.
  • Takeda’s official trailer showcases his gameplay, including his bladed whips, ninja stars, and brutal fatality move.
  • Fans are excited for Takeda’s return on July 23, known for his mix of technology and ninja-style abilities in combat originally from MKX.

As a long-time fan of Mortal Kombat, I can’t help but feel elated and nostalgic as we approach the release date for Takeda in Mortal Kombat 1. His return to the roster is a testament to NetherRealm Studios’ commitment to delivering high-quality content to their dedicated fanbase.


After much anticipation, NetherRealm Studios unveils the authentic gameplay trailer for Takeda, the last character added to Mortal Kombat 1‘s initial expansion pass. Approaching the one-year mark since its launch, Mortal Kombat 1 concludes its expansion pass, introducing six new characters to the game’s core roster. This diverse assortment includes fan favorites like Ermac as well as fresh guest characters such as Homelander, Omni-Man, and Peacemaker in John Cena’s portrayal.

Many Mortal Kombat fans were thrilled with the last-minute roster announcement, as it marked the return of a beloved character introduced in Mortal Kombat X: Takeda Takahashi. In the game’s storyline, Takeda is the son of the legendary blind swordsman Kenshi and a member of both Scorpion’s Shirai Ryu and Cassie Cage’s special forces team. What made Takeda stand out was his unique blend of technology and ninja skills, employing weapons such as a light sword and a whip with blades. For weeks, NetherRealm Studios had been hinting at Takeda’s arrival, offering sneak peeks, but now, ahead of EVO, the long-awaited gameplay footage has surfaced.

In Takeda’s promotional video for Mortal Kombat X, we witness a thrilling clash between Takeda and General Shao. This confrontation marks the comeback of Takeda’s iconic weapons – his bladed whips and Kunai. Fans of Mortal Kombat X are sure to be elated by this revelation. During the battle, Takeda skillfully evades attacks by swinging his whip to climb upward momentarily, and hurls explosive ninja stars that detonate after a brief delay, seemingly replacing his light sword technique from Mortal Kombat X. The trailer concludes with one of Takeda’s gruesome fatalities, where his whips mercilessly disintegrate General Shao into tiny fragments.

Takeda Release Date for Mortal Kombat 1

  • July 23

As a long-time fan of Mortal Kombat, I can tell you that the wait for Ferra and Takeda’s addition to the game has been a rollercoaster ride. Initially, I was thrilled when NetherRealm announced that Ferra would be released before Takeda. However, my excitement was short-lived as they later revealed a delay in the Kameo update.

As a long-time fan of Mortal Kombat, I’m always excited for new updates and character additions to the game. With Takeda’s arrival marking the end of Kombat Pack 1, I was initially feeling a bit sad that this chapter of the game was coming to a close. But then, Ed Boon, the creative director at NetherRealm Studios, dropped a bombshell! He teased us with hints about the future of Mortal Kombat 1, assuring fans that we’re far from done.
