Dead gross

Mortal Kombat 1’s massive Khaos Reigns expansion will release on 24th September, bringing with it an entire new storyline to NetherRealm’s increasingly complicated plot. This trailer doesn’t really dilly on the details: it just shows off a series of murders, many of which will make you wince and chuckle in equal measure. Seriously, this series always manages to find the right balance between sadistic and silly.
Annoyingly, because of the violence we can’t embed the video on this page, but you can watch it through here.
In addition to the cinematic campaign, the expansion will come with six new characters: Cyrax, Sektor, Noob Saibot, Ghostface, T-1000, and Conan. The first three additions will be available at launch, while the second three guest characters will be added at a later date. You can catch all six in action courtesy of the trailer above.
It’s also worth noting that everyone who owns the game will unlock Animalities, too. Some of these look delightfully absurd, like two crocodiles inexplicably wandering onto the screen and pulling an opponent in two – or a phoenix causing a fire storm which burns the skin right off their target. Will you be messing around with any of this new content? Finish us in the comments section below.
