So, Ed Boon was teasing us earlier this month, right? Well, the cat’s finally out of the bag. NetherRealm Studios, alongside Warner Bros. Games, just dropped a bomb with a new Mortal Kombat 1 gameplay trailer. And guess who’s stepping into the arena? It’s DC Comics’ Peacemaker, folks. Yeah, you heard it right. John Cena’s not just lending his voice but his whole likeness to the role.
The trailer? Oh, it’s a blast. Showcases Peacemaker doing what he does best – kicking butt and throwing shade with some choice insults. Classic Peacemaker style. And, as per tradition with these gameplay reveals, they wrapped it up with a bang. Peacemaker’s finishing move? Absolutely brutal. Uses his jetpack and Sonic Boom to slice through the competition. Literally.
Now, let’s talk size for a sec. Yeah, you might need to squint a bit – 640 × 360480 × 270. And, uh, make sure your browser’s up to snuff, ’cause this video’s not playing around. HTML5, baby. If you’re getting an error, well, that’s a bummer. Means you can’t watch it. And, hey, you gotta be of age. They’re not just letting anyone in on this action.
By the way, clicking ‘enter’? Means you’re cool with GameSpot’s rules and privacy stuff. Just so you know.
Now, back to the juicy bits. Peacemaker’s looking sharp, straight out of Suicide Squad and his own series on Max. Cena’s killing it, but he’s not the only one getting in on this action. Remember JK Simmons? Yeah, he’s back as Omni-Man from Invincible. Talk about star power.
Peacemaker’s not just any addition; he’s part of the Kombat Pass lineup. Following Omni-Man and Quan Chi, he’s shaking things up as the third character to join. And, oh, there’s more on the way. Ermac, Takeda, and Homelander from The Boys are up next. Plus, a bunch of Kameo assists like Tremor and Khameleon, with Ferra, Mavado, and Janet Cage still in the pipeline. Janet Cage, by the way, is Johnny Cage but flipped. And she’s not just for show; she teams up with Peacemaker for some killer moves in the trailer.
If you’re itching to get your hands on Mortal Kombat 1, good news. It’s out on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Peacemaker’s joining the fight on March 6, but if you’ve got the premium edition, you’re in early on February 28. Wanna grab just the Kombat Pass? That’ll be $39.99. Or, if you’re just here for Peacemaker, he’s yours for $8.
