Fans of Mortal Kombat 1 can stop their waiting game as they can now play the legendary character, Conan the Barbarian. Today’s update offers early access players the chance to experience this iconic figure.
Furthermore, the January update tackles and resolves bugs that were found on Steam, Epic Games Store, Nintendo Switch, and the PlayStation 5 Pro editions of the game.
Balance changes for fighters and Kameos are also included in today’s patch notes.
As a gamer, I’m pumped about the new addition to the Kombat Pack 2 – it’s none other than Conan the Barbarian! This latest entry brings together an exciting blend of Mortal Kombat warriors and legendary movie characters. We’ve already seen some heavy hitters like Sektor, Cyrax, Noob Saibot, and Ghostface from the Scream series. After Conan, the final character joining Kombat Pack 2 is going to be the unstoppable T-1000 from Terminator 2: Judgment Day! Can’t wait to see these iconic figures clash in the arena!
Conan the Barbarian will be available on January 28th for those not in early access.
