Publisher Warner Bros. Games and developer NetherRealms shared new gameplay for Mortal Kombat 1 expansion “Khaos Reigns” character Cyrax.
Here’s a brief blurb on the character, plus some new gameplay:
In Fire God Liu Kang’s New Era, Cyrax is a young Lin Kuei warrior from the Zaki clan whose prodigious skills earned her an invitation to serve directly under Sektor. She seized the opportunity with her trademark vigor, but while her skills impressed, her independent streak created rifts between her and her mentor. It has become clear that Cyrax remains untamed and will serve the Lin Kuei on her terms, or not at all. Cyrax’s high-octane moveset is on full display in the new trailer, including her ability to leverage cybernetic technology to perform impressive aerial attacks and evasive maneuvers, complemented by her utilization of energy nets to pin down opponents, explosives to extend combos, and sawblades for devastating strikes.
The new video also teases Cyrax’s Animality, the brutal finishing move allowing her to morph into a hornet to annihilate her defeated opponents. The fan favorite Animalities will be available as a free content update for all Mortal Kombat 1 owners in conjunction with the Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns release on Sept. 24.
The Khaos Reigns expansion launches on September 24th for $49.99 on modern platforms and $39.99 on Switch, it will be the only way to get Kombat Pack 2, as the second character pack won’t be sold separately. A bundle with both Khaos Reigns and Kombat Pack 1 will be sold, though.
Mortal Kombat 1 has been available since September 2023 across PC (via Steam and the Epic Games Store), Xbox Series X|S, Switch, and PlayStation 5.
