The story of Mortal Kombat games in recent years has been a mish-mash of double-crosses, weird friendships, and alternate dimension wobbles. They often feel like a casualty of Marvel movie bloat.Mortal Kombat 1was marketed as a “reboot”, for example, but is really just a continuation of previous nonsense, with developers NetherRealm saying “I don’t know, stick a multiverse in it.” Yet from that multiverse now arrives another bad guy, bringing new story chapters for the fighting game’s first big expansion, as well as extra characters like the liquid metal murderer from Terminator 2, a Conan of the barbarian persuasion, and the masked killer of the Scream movies.

The “KhaosReigns” DLC will come out September 24 and also include a bunch of guest characters. Like I say, the T-1000, Conan, and Ghostface will all make an appearance. A free update releasing along with the expansion will also add “animalities” to the biff ‘em up. These are a zoological spin on the series’ traditionally violent finishing moves, andfirst appeared way back in Mortal Kombat 3. When you perform one, your character will transform into a gorilla, hippo, or other charismatic megafauna, and then tear your opponent asunder. The trailer shows Mileena transmogrifying into a giant preying mantis and nibbling on her foe’s head, for instance. It remains unknown if Johnny Cage’s kangaroo kill will reappear, but one can dream.
