Gloriously violent fighting game Mortal Kombat 1has received a new trailer showing off iconic sorcerer Quan Chi while also giving us a release date for the return of the classic series antagonist. We also got a sneak peek at DC's Peacemaker, who's slated to join the fight in 2024.
This new trailer is a treat for fans, showing off Quan Chi's dark magic. Portals, tentacles, and glowing green bones are par for the course here. However you slice it, Quan Chi has lost none of his touch.
We now know that the vile sorcerer will be joining Mortal Kombat 1's roster on December 14 as part of the Kombat Pack — the game's version of a season pass — or as a standalone purchase from December 21.
What's more, we also got a glimpse of Peacemaker, a warped vigilante from the world of DC Comics. This version, played by wrestler and meme sensation John Cena, is plucked right out of James Gunn's Peacemaker series from the DC Cinematic Universe. Peacemaker is a brutal, morally ambiguous character who dispenses violence and one-liners with ease. In other words, he'll fit right in amongst Mortal Kombat's ensemble.
The trailer also gives us tour first look at Khamelion, a new DLC Kameo Fighter who can assist during matches with support moves. She's also available as part of the Kombat Pack or as a standalone purchase.
Peacemaker isn't the only prominent character from outside of the Mortal Kombat universe to make an appearance as part of the game's ongoing DLC releases. We've also seen Omni-Man from gritty animated series Invincible join the fray. Very much a Superman-gone-wrong, Omni-Man is a superhuman alien played by the talented J.K. Simmons, fresh from playing another ultra-powered menace in Baldur's Gate 3. In case you missed the news, the mustached menace is currently available for purchase.
Homelander, another super-powered antagonist from Amazon's gritty drama The Boys, will also be joining Mortal Kombat 1's roster. That said, we still don't have a release date for him, so those looking to play as everyone's favorite emotionally stunted, authoritarian horror will have to wait a little longer.

Directed by Louis Leterrier, is a superhero film revolving around the namesake Marvel Comics character and serves as the second entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Starring Edward Norton as Bruce Banner, The Incredible Hulk premiered on June 8, 2008. It earned a 67% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes and $264.8 million at the global box office against a $137.5–150 million budget. If you are wondering when The Incredible Hulk 2 is coming out, this is what we have discovered.
It seems that Matt Reeves's Arkham Asylum show will actually be in the DCU, rather than the same universe as The Batman, according to DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn.
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.
