Ghostface, the iconic antagonist from the Scream film franchise, is set to arrive in Mortal Kombat 1 next week as part of the Khaos Reigns expansion. Ahead of his arrival, Warner Bros. Games and Netherrealm Studios have released a new trailer that showcases the deadly killer's gameplay.
Ghostface wields his signature hunting knife, slicing up his opponents in brutal fashion. Standard knife attacks aside, Ghostface also has crawling skills for sneaky ground level attacks and can phone in a fellow Ghostface partner to help finish off his victims.
In Mortal Kombat 1, panic has seized the realms as its citizens fear for who might be Ghostface’s next victim. The many killers who have worn the Ghostface mask all share a horrifying trait: they take joy in inflicting pain and taking lives. Armed with a menacing knife, an encyclopedic knowledge of horror films, and a psychopathic compulsion to torture, Ghostface has become an infamous symbol of terror.
The trailer also reveals Ghostface's Fatality, a super meta finishing move that I don't want to spoil because it's pretty awesome. We also get a glimpse at the fighter's Animality, another finishing move that sees Ghostface morph into a deadly vulture. Animalities are a signature finishing move in the Mortal Kombat series but were only recently introduced into Mortal Kombat 1 with the Khaos Reigns expansion.
Ghostface will join the roster as a guest fighter on November 19th as part of the early access period for those who own the Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns expansion. He will be fully available for purchase on November 26th.
The Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns expansion launched in September, introducing a new story expansion and the Kombat Pack 2, which features six new fighters. Mortal Kombat fan-favorites Cyrax, Sektor, and Noob Saibot are already available.
Ghostface is the first of three planned guest fighters arriving as part of the Kombat Pack 2. In addition to the Scream villain, fans can look forward to Conan the Barbarian and the T-1000 Terminator (from Terminator 2) joining the roster at later dates.
Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns is available for $49.99 and includes the story expansion plus the Kombat Pack 2. Also available is the Khaos Reigns Bundle for $59.99, which also includes all the latest content plus the original Kombat Pack 1. Unfortunately, you can not purchase the Kombat Pack 2 set of characters separately from the Khaos Reigns expansion.
