WARNER BROS. GAMES LAUNCHES MORTAL KOMBAT 1: KHAOS REIGNS

Burbank, Calif. – Sept. 24, 2024 – Warner Bros. Games today announced that Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns, an all-new expansion for Mortal Kombat 1, the latest installment in the iconic videogame franchise, is now available digitally for PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, the Nintendo Switch™ system, and PC (Steam and Epic Games Store).

Developed by award-winning NetherRealm Studios, Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns continues the cinematic narrative with new Story mode chapters centered around peace and anarchy. To defend his New Era of peace, Fire God Liu Kang must rally his champions and put faith in his enemies to defeat a perilous threat from an alternate timeline, led by the ruthless Titan Havik, whose sole purpose is to plunge the realms into khaos.

Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns adds to the growing roster of playable characters with the return of Cyrax, Sektor, and Noob Saibot, who are available now as part of Kombat Pack 2 and incorporate unique backstories that fit within the reimagined Mortal Kombat 1 Universe. Cyrax is a young Lin Kuei warrior and martial arts prodigy who can leverage cybernetic technology; Sektor, a master armorer and skilled Lin Kuei warrior in her own right, is Cyrax’s mentor and Sub-Zero’s most trusted lieutenant; and Noob Saibot is a shadowy henchman created from Bi-Han’s (a.k.a. Sub-Zero) soul, dedicated to fomenting anarchy alongside Havik.

Kombat Pack 2 will also bring a new batch of guest fighters into the mix with Ghostface, the recurring identity donned by antagonists from the Scream horror movie franchise, voiced by Roger L. Jackson; T-1000, the liquid metal-based Terminator and deadly cybernetic assassin from the Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) film, featuring the voice and likeness of actor Robert Patrick; and Conan the Barbarian, the towering warrior from the Conan the Barbarian (1982) film, featuring the likeness of actor Arnold Schwarzenegger in the role of the title character. Release timing for the three guest fighters will be announced at a later date.

Additionally, all Mortal Kombat 1 owners have access to a free content update beginning today, including Animalities, the fan-favorite finishing moves allowing all playable characters to morph into their spirit animal to annihilate defeated opponents; Towers of Time, a returning mode with an on-going rotation of challenges and in-game events; and four new arenas – Chaoseum, Night Market, The Maze, and Havik’s Citadel.
