Conan The Barbarian joins Mortal Kombat 1’s DLC roster next week
The Switch 2 has dominated the headlines over the past few days, but there’s a lot more going on in the video game world this week.
On the Mortal Kombat front, NetherRealm has revealed the official Conan the Barbarian gameplay trailer featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger’s likeness, with The voice work appears to be done by Chris Cox (who voices Arnie as the Terminator in Life and death battle 11).
The battle of life and death 1 Early access players will be able to play as Conan from January 21, 2025 onwards (aka next week). The character is part of the game’s second DLC pack that includes Ghostface (Scream), T-1000 (Terminator), and three Mortal Kombat characters featured in the Khaos Reigns expansion.
“Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns expands Liu Kang’s New Era with a new story campaign and all-new cinematic experience. Discover how Liu Kang gathered his champions and put his faith in the enemies as he battles the ruthless Titan Havik, who threatens to descend on the kingdoms of the khaos. If they fail, the New Age will fall into chaos.”
Late last year, there were rumors about Mortal Kombat 1’s future DLC supposedly being cancelled. You can learn more about this in our previous story on Nintendo Life.
Earlier this week, EVO also confirmed its main lineup for 2025 – Mortal Kombat will be one of eight featured titles this year.
