NetherRealm and WB Games have unveiled the official gameplay trailer for T-1000, who is set to join the roster of Mortal Kombat 1 next Tuesday. This character stands out with his ability to transform into liquid metal, enabling him to creatively dodge projectiles. T-1000 is poised to become a fan favorite, particularly among those who enjoyed playing as Kabal in previous games. Although Kabal does not appear in Mortal Kombat 1, some of his signature weapons and moves have been integrated into the game, adding a familiar touch for long-time fans.
The trailer also pays homage to the legendary film Terminator 2: Judgment Day with several iconic references. One such reference is the recreation of the scene where T-1000 wags his finger—a gesture famously banned in the NBA as unsportsmanlike conduct. Additionally, T-1000 interacts with Johnny Cage, asking if he has seen John Connor, further bridging the game and the film.
Alongside T-1000, the trailer introduced Madam Bo, who will be added to the game concurrently. T-1000's Fatality showcases his liquid metal nature as he changes his appearance and replaces his victim, reflecting the efficient and ruthless nature of the machine in completing its mission.
No further announcements have been made by WB Games. There are rumors circulating that this might be the final wave of new content for Mortal Kombat 1, with speculation about an upcoming announcement for a new game. However, these remain unconfirmed at this time.
