NetherRealm Studios and Warner Bros. Games have released a new trailer for Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns, a new expansion for the critically acclaimed fighting game. As previously revealed, the Khaos Reigns expansion will introduce a new Kombat Pack of downloadable characters: Cyrax, Sektor, Noob Saibot, Ghostface, the T-1000, and Conan the Barbarian.
Although we've still got a little over a month until Khaos Reigns arrives, the new trailer highlights gameplay featuring Cyrax as well as story elements that provide insight into her role within the reimagined Mortal Kombat 1 Universe.
In addition to seeing her general abilities and moveset, we also get a glimpse at Cyrax's Animality. As previously revealed, Khaos Reigns will re-introduce Animalities into the series. These fan-favorite finishing moves allow characters to morph into their spirit animal to brutally annihilate defeated opponents. In Cyrax's case, she turns into a hornet.
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 Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns expansion is set to arrive on September 24. It is currently available for pre-order on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC for $49.99 and on Nintendo Switch for $39.99. Anyone who pre-orders will receive four new character skins on September 24: Wedding Scorpion, Empress Mileena, and klassic Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 versions of Sub-Zero and Noob Saibot.
The expansion will deliver the next phase in the game's narrative centered around peace and anarchy with new cinematic Story mode chapters and six new fighters in Kombat Pack 2. Cyrax, Sektor, and Noob Saibot will be available at launch on September 24, while the new guest fighters — Ghostface (Scream), T-1000 (Terminator 2: Judgement Day) and Conan the Barbarian — will be available at a later date to be announced.
Also available is the Khaos Reigns Bundle, which includes access to the previous Kombat Pack. It can be purchased for $59.99 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC and $49.99 on Switch. The Kombat Pack features six characters (Omni-Man, Quan Chi, Peacemaker, Ermac, Homelander, and Takeda Takahashi), five Kameo Fighters (Tremor, Khameleon, Janet Cage, Mavado, and Ferra), and the Jean-Claude Van Damme character skin for Johnny Cage.
Lastly, there is the Khaos Reigns Kollection available for $89.99 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, and $79.99 on Nintendo Switch. This includes the main Mortal Kombat 1 game, the first Kombat Pack, 1,250 Dragon Krystals (in-game currency), and access to the Khaos Reigns expansion when it launches on September 24.
