The trailer ends with an interesting cameo, if you can see it.

After Ed Boon teased an upcoming Mortal Kombat 1 update just before the weekend, NetherRealm Studios has released a gameplay trailer for Quan Chi, the next character to join the MK1 roster. He’ll make his debut on December 14.
The trailer shows off the sorcerer’s ability to summon portals to the NetherRealm and use them to his advantage, both through teleportation and special attacks. In one instance, we see a massive tentacle come through a portal and slam his opponent on the floor, while in another, Quan Chi himself jumps through a portal and lands on top of his foe.
The next Kameo fighter, Khameleon, is also featured in the video, and she uses a combination of moves from some of Mortal Kombat’s most famous femme fatales--Kitana, Mileena, and Jade--to help Quan Chi in battle. The trailer ends with a small glimpse at the next downloadable character, DC Comics’ Peacemaker, whose likeness and voice will be provided by John Cena himself.
Quan Chi will be available for those with early access through the Kombat Pass on December 14 on all platforms. He will then be available for purchase separately on December 21. Khameleon will be added to the Kameo roster in January, while Peacemaker is slated for inclusion in February.
Mortal Kombat 1 is available now for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC. The Kombat Pass includes access to Omni-Man, Quan Chi, Peacemaker, Ermac, Homelander, and Takeda, and it can be purchased both separately and as part of MK1’s premium editions.

Mortal Kombat 1's addition of Quan Chi seemingly confirms that DLC characters won't be getting any additional skins, as was the case for Omni-Man when he launched.
Like previous entries in the series, Mortal Kombat 1 is rolling out plenty of DLC fighters, with the game’s first “Kombat Pack” including Omni-Man from Invincible, Quan Chi, Peacemaker from Suicide Squad, Ermac, Homelander from The Boys, and Takahashi Takeda.

Mortal Kombat 1 already has some of the best Fatalities in the series, but it just got a whole lot better thanks to Quan Chi's second grisly finishing move.
Quan-Chi, cross-play, and more this winter.
Quan Chi, the cruel Netherrealm sorcerer and one half of Mortal Kombat’s famous deadly alliance, is now part of the Mortal Kombat 1 roster. He’s available as part of the fighting game’s first Kombat Pack DLC, and is the second post-launch character to join MK1, following Omni-Man.
These days, fighting games live and die based on their online playerbase, and yet, Mortal Kombat 1 did not launch with crossplay support. Thankfully, that will change relatively soon though, as NetherRealm Studios announced in a recent livestream that crossplay between PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PS5 will be coming in early 2024 (perhaps unsurprisingly, the ill-fated Switch version is left out).
During a recent livestream, developer NetherRealm Studios revealed that it is working on releasing cross-play multiplayer for Mortal Kombat 1 in the coming months. While the studio was unable to develop the feature in time for the game’s launch back in September, it has stated that the feature will be coming to the PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S versions of Mortal Kombat 1 in February.

Mortal Kombat 1 returnee Quan Chi will make his debut as the second DLC character added to NetherRealm’s latest before Christmas. The former miner was revealed as part of a gameplay trailer overnight, which you can watch above. In it, you’ll see the face-painted baldie unleashing all sorts of misery on a variety of opponents.
