The developers of MK1 treat the community to a Kombat Kast stream and some details on the new DLC character, Conan the Barbarian.
The release date of MK1 Conan is approaching, so players are eager to know more about the Barbarian — and especially about his gameplay features. This opportunity occurred on Jan. 16, when NetherRealm Studios revealed the first trailer for the character.
MK1 Conan gameplay trailer
The MK1 Conan trailer is here. It shows the usage of Conan's sword in bloody battles of Mortal Kombat 1. The character has a variety of mid-range attacks that can be linked into a stream of pokes and slashes. The air play doesn't look too prominent, but Conan still has something in his arsenal.
The trailer was part of a Kombat Kast broadcast program. It’s the first such stream in 2025.
The MK1 Conan Kombat Kast was streamed on the official Mortal Kombat YouTube. You can watch it below.
