Quan Chi

NetherRealm’s latest DLC fighter for Mortal Kombat 1, Ermac, is now available in “early access.” Those who own the Kombat Pack can play him now, while others need to wait for his worldwide launch on April 23rd.

Like previous entries in the series, Mortal Kombat 1 is rolling out plenty of DLC fighters, with the game’s first “Kombat Pack” so far serving up Omni-Man from Invincible, Quan Chi, Peacemaker from Suicide Squad, and Ermac. And now NetherRealm Studios has provided a first peek at the second-to-last Kombat Pack fighter – Homelander from the Amazon series The Boys.

A new gameplay trailer released for Mortal Kombat 1 shows upcoming DLC character Homelander in action.

Mortal Kombat 1 has revealed the Homelander trailer, presenting the first in-game look at how the character of The Boys will be portrayed in Netherrealm Studios' game. Mortal Kombat 1 players are anxiously awaiting Homelander's debut in the game, as he will expand the cast of characters with what will surely be a very powerful addition.

A new rumor suggests that the next Mortal Kombat 1 Kameo fighter will be an alternate-timeline version of Scorpion, with Harumi Hasashi donning the iconic yellow ninja mask instead of her husband Hanzo. One of the biggest additions to come from Moral Kombat 1 is the Kameo system, which allows players to select a supporting character from a separate roster to assist in matches. Most of these secondary combatants are classic versions of existingcharacters from the original timeline, which Fire God Liu Kang rebooted at the end of Mortal Kombat 11.

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.

Some merchandise suggests that Ermac was originally meant to be a part of Mortal Kombat 1’s base roster instead of a post-launch DLC character. Originally created as a red-colored palette swap of famed ninjas Scorpion and Sub-Zero, Ermac has been a part of the Mortal Kombat mythos since Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, and it won’t be long before Mortal Kombat 1 players will be able to take control of this powerful undead warrior. Ermac is set to be introduced as the latest MK 1 DLC character on April 16 for Early Access players and April 23 for everyone else.

Mortal Kombat 1's upcoming playable DLC character, Ermac, has been given an airing in developer NetherRealm's latest gameplay trailer, ahead of his arrival later this month.

NetherRealm Studios has released a new trailer detailing the first look of the upcoming DLC fighter Ermac, who makes his return to the Mortal Kombat franchise.

Like previous entries in the series, Mortal Kombat 1 is rolling out plenty of DLC fighters, with the game’s first “Kombat Pack” so far serving up Omni-Man from Invincible, Quan Chi, and Peacemaker from Suicide Squad. It’s been a rather cameo-heavy list so far, but we’re getting back to a fan-favorite from the actual Mortal Kombat universe next – Ermac.

The Mortal Kombat franchise has played host to all kinds of characters from various media as guest fighters, but fans shouldn't hold their breath for Ed Boon himself to ever be featured on the roster. Mortal Kombat's roster has evolved dramatically over the years. New fighters are added to the mix in nearly every release, older fighters get significant revamps, and guest fighters join the fray as well.

Netherrealm Studios finally releases the recently teased Ermac trailer for Mortal Kombat 1, showcasing the upcoming DLC character alongside the new Kameo fighter Mavado, as well as when players can add them to the roster. Following its launch last year, Netherrealm Studios continues to tweak and evolve the core Mortal Kombat 1 experience for fans both through updates as well as new character releases.

Ermac is finally coming to Mortal Kombat 1 next week on April 16 via early access, with Mavado to follow in May.

Mortal Kombat 1 director Ed Boon recently teased a big reveal for later this week, namely a look at the upcoming DLC character Ermac. Mortal Kombat 1’s roster is already jam-packed with revamped versions of some of the franchise’s most noted fighters, and NetherRealm has been adding even more to its latest fighting title post-launch. So far, players have been able to step into the arena as returning Mortal Kombat 1 fighter Quan Chi alongside special guests like Peacemaker and Omni-Man from the hit Invincible animated series.

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.

The day has finally come for Peacemaker fans to step into the shoes of the DC anti-villain in Mortal Kombat 1, becoming available to those who purchased Kombat Pack 1 as one of the previously announced DLC characters. And with that, we've also gotten a sizable patch that includes a number of fixes.

Peacemaker just went live in Mortal Kombat 1 and, as most fans had been guessing, his unique gear piece lets players change (and even remove) his iconic helmet.

NetherRelam has finally shown off some of Peacemaker’s gameplay ahead of his forthcoming Mortal Kombat 1 debut, and there is even a new Kameo fighter to go with him. Every Mortal Kombat entry since 2011’s MK 9 included guest characters from other popular media as post-launch content, and Mortal Kombat 1 is continuing this tradition with its ongoing Kombat Pack 1. First came Omni-Man, who brought his brutal brand of Viltrumite justice to the rebooted world of MK 1 back in November. He will eventually be joined by The Boys’ Homelander sometime this spring, but before that another comic-book character will be stepping into the MK 1 arena.

Mortal Kombat 1 has an interesting roster stacked with Kombatants, both familiar and new, and the DLC Kombat Pack promised to bring even more craziness to things. The first entrant was Omni-Man, who brought an overpowering presence to the game. Then, there was Quan Chi, who used his sorcery to shake things up and make foes squirm. But now, the third entrant is the man who will fight for peace with all his heart, no matter the cost of getting it. Yes, we’re talking about Peacemaker, and his gameplay trailer reveals just how much like his live-action counterpart he is. Hint: he’s pretty much an exact replica.

is officially headed to , with developer NetherRealm Studios confirming the release date for the highly anticipated DLC character.

Mortal Kombat has wrapped filming, and to mark the occasion Karl Urban shared a snap of himself on set. The Boys star plays Johnny Cage in the sequel, and we’ve only had a very brief tease of his character so far with this typically obnoxious picture.

Simon McQuoid’s has officially wrapped filming as we await a release date for the video game adaptation sequel.

Mortal Kombat2 is seemingly coming with the villain Quan Chi. At least, that's what fans have deduced based on a new set photo from producer Todd Garner.

Given the current state of video game adaptations and the decent reception that the previous film had back in 2021, there are many who are curious about Mortal Kombat 2. The movie promises to deliver more of what fans want, including finally doing the titular tournament that everyone knows the theme song to. Over the course of the last few weeks, the movie’s director, Todd Garner, has been slowly teasing all the characters that will be arriving in the film. We’ve seen teases for Shao Khan and his “daughter” Kitana, as well as the first look at Jade. But that’s not the character we’re going to look at today.

Mortal Kombat 2 producer Todd Garner has shared an intriguing new tease ahead of the film’s sequel, and everyone is convinced they know who it is. As you can see from the picture below, it shows a gray hand wearing a black robe, and while there’s not a lot to go on, we’re pretty convinced that it is Quan Chi. 

Mortal Kombat 1 has drawn plenty of criticism since its launch, with most of it being directed at the game’s aggressive monetization methods, but as far as new content is concerned, developer NetherRealm Studios has kept up a steady cadence of new updates. In December, Quan Chi was added to the game’s roster of main fighters, with NetherRealm confirming at the time that Khameleon would be added to the Kameo lineup sometime in January. Now, a release date for the former has been revealed.

Following her appearance in Quan Chi's gameplay trailer in December last year, it's been officially announced that Khameleon will be joining Mortal Kombat 1 as a Kameo Fighter next week, starting on January 16.

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.

What, precisely, is the value of an actor's face in the world of video games?

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.

Mortal Kombat 1: Revenge of the Ninja Mimes.

Mortal Kombat 1 launched back in September and became one of our favorite games of the year – read why in Game Informer's Mortal Kombat 1 review here. Since its release, developer NetherRealm Studios has released additional characters, like Invincible's Omni-Man, while teasing other new fighters like Quan Chi and DC's Peacemaker. Now, Mortal Kombat creator Ed Boon has teased even more new content on the way. 

Antony Starr says he was open to voicing Homelander in Mortal Kombat 1, after it was confirmed that the actor will not be reprising his role for the game's DLC. Responding to a disappointed fan, Starr says, "I was open to it", making his absence in the game all the more baffling.

While the hype that led to Mortal Kombat 1’s arrival has dissipated, as gamers have gotten to experience much of the wonder and brutality that the game has to offer, that’s not to say that the game has nothing left to look forward to. NetherRealm Studios are not novices in extending a game’s worth, and their first Kombat Pack is the best example of what to look forward to. The pack will bring six DLC characters to the mix to bolster the roster and create some dream matches. In November, we got Omni-Man, voiced by J.K. Simmons, and this month, we’re getting the vile sorcerer Quan Chi.

Next week, Mortal Kombat 1 is getting its second DLC fighter in the form of the Nether Realm’s favorite wizard, Quan Chi. His gameplay trailer makes no bones about the fact that he’s an extremely formidable fighter.

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

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. 

NetherRealm has released a new trailer for Mortal Kombat 1, offering up some sorcery-infused Quan Chi gameplay and a release date for his arrival in the game. As well as that, this trailer also shows Khameleon in all her lethal glory, and gives us our best look yet at John Cena's Peacemaker in-game.

For all the criticism against Mortal Kombat 1’s monetization, its Story Mode has been received relatively well. Given how it ended and whether fans will see more, creator and NetherRealm co-founder Ed Boon confirmed that story DLC is in the works.

NetherRealm Studios has released the first gameplay trailer for Mortal Kombat 1’s next DLC character – Quan Chi. He’s out on December 14th for Kombat Pack owners and December 21st for all players. Check out some of his moves below.

Not only has NetherRealm revealed the release date and gameplay of Quan Chi, it has also given us our best look yet at John Cena's Peacemaker and Khameleon as a Kameo fighter.

Mortal Kombat 1 downloadable content character Quan Chi will launch on December 14 for Kombat Pack owners and December 21 for all users, publisher Warner Bros. Games and developer NetherRealm Studios announced. Additionally, guest character Peacemaker will launch in February 2024.

Quan Chi's gameplay trailer is finally here, giving us a taste of how the longtime fighter's moves have been worked into Mortal Kombat 1. He fights alongside a new Kameo fighter, Khameleon, who is returning to the series for the first time since 2006.

The sorcerer returns to the playable roster in December.

Invincible, Omni-Man, and Atom Eve may be swooping into Fortnite soon, according to leaked images.

Despite lending his likeness to Homelander's guest appearance in Mortal Kombat 1, actor Antony Starr has seemingly confirmed that's where his involvement ends.

Antony Starr, who plays Homelander in The Boys, won't be voicing his character in Mortal Kombat 1. Starr just confirmed the news on his Instagram, after initially seeming unsure when asked if he would be reprising the role.

Omni-Man is set to be added to the Mortal Kombat 1 roster as the first new fighter in the Kombat Pack, allowing Invincible fans to duke it out as the crazed supervillain.

Mortal Kombat 1’s first DLC character, Omni-Man, is available to download from November 9, Warner Bros. Games and developer NetherRealm have announced.

Ostensibly, the newest trailer for Mortal Kombat 1 is about Omni-Man, the first post-launch DLC fighter coming as part of the game’s Kombat Pack. There’s a ton of gameplay, including a longer look at his Fatality, which is inspired by the gruesome subway scene from Invincible in which many innocent train passengers are killed. And there’s a release date for Omni-Man now; he’s coming to Mortal Kombat 1 on Nov. 9.

An accidental posting from Xbox might have revealed when gamers will get their hands on Omni-Man in Mortal Kombat 1! You’ll find the listing from Xbox in the tweet below, but in essence, the post on the official store page for the game on Xbox systems says that Omni-Man will be released on November 6th to those with “early access.” What precisely that means is up in the air, but regardless, we could be getting the Viltrumite warrior in the game sooner than expected. But before we go any further, it should be noted that NetherRealm Studios hasn’t confirmed this release date, and “leaks” like these have been misconstrued in the past.

Xbox spills the beans on when the Invincible villain joins the MK1 roster.

Andrew Morgado, the voice actor for Mortal Kombat 1‘s Reptile, seems to have accidentally revealed that the T-1000 from Terminator 2: Judgment Day will be making its way to the game’s roster. Speaking about working on the game as a voice actor, Morgado talks about meeting various other actors, like Ronda Rousey. He goes on to reveal that Robert Patrick was present at the studio to do work for T-1000.

Omni-Man of Invincible fame is coming to Mortal Kombat 1 in November as part of the Kombat Pack, and now the first official gameplay and cinematic footage has been released. The footage shows Omni-Man looking to claim the new timeline for Viltrum Empire. It also shows scenes that almost identical to the Invincible series, like that train scene.

Mortal Kombat 1 had been teasing, and not teasing, various things that they would show at New York Comic Con. Ed Boon himself deconfirmed several things that wouldn’t be shown at the convention, and many felt this meant we wouldn’t get any look at the upcoming DLC characters for the game via its first Kombat Pack. However, NetherRealm Studios DID show something from the Kombat Pack at the show: the first look at Omni-Man! His inclusion in the game had long been rumored before it was officially confirmed alongside other key DLC characters, and his “first look” trailer shows just how brutal things will get.

Mortal Kombat 1's upcoming DLC character, Omni-Man, has received his own first-look trailer, showing off a selection of vicious attacks and appropriately bloody finishers. 

Mortal Kombat 1 has debuted its first post-launch character Omni-Man from the Robert Kirkman comic book Invincible. NetherRealm Studios dropped the gameplay trailer during the New York Comic Con 2023 event, revealing a set of brutal moves that were pulled straight from the eponymous animated series adaptation on Amazon Prime Video. The villainous character will be available as a standalone fighter in November, accessible to those who bought the Premium Edition of the game or the Kombat Pack DLC separately. Actor J.K. Simmons is also reprising his role and voicing Omni-Man for Mortal Kombat 1.

NetherRealm Studios has revealed the planned release window for each character in Mortal Kombat 1's first Kombat Pack, confirming the order they'll come out and letting us know how long we'll have to wait for everyone.

NetherRealm Studios has dropped our first look at Mortal Kombat 1's upcoming DLC character, Omni-Man.

The first trailer for Invincible’s Omni-Man in Mortal Kombat 1 recently dropped, showcasing his overwhelming power and mercilessness (all voiced by J.K. Simmons). While he arrives in November with Tremor, the next Kameo Fighter, NetherRealm Studios also announced release windows for other fighters in the Kombat Pack.

Omni-Man of Invincible fame is coming to Mortal Kombat 1 in November as part of the Kombat Pack, and now the first official gameplay and cinematic footage has been released.

Mortal Kombat 1’s first post-launch character, Omni-Man from Robert Kirkman’s Invincible, arrives this November, developer NetherRealm Studios and publisher Warner Bros. Games revealed Saturday at New York Comic Con. Omni-Man’s first gameplay trailer shows the alien superhero dispatching Scorpion and Liu Kang in gruesome ways — ways that will be familiar to anyone who’s watched Invincible’s goriest moments.

Alongside confirming a November 2023 release window, NetherRealm has revealed the first gameplay trailer for Invincible's Omni-Man at NYCC 2023.

Ermac and Quan Chi are not playable in Mortal Kombat 1, despite featuring heavily in the story mode. You even fight them several times. We'll have to wait for paid DLC for them to join the roster, but modders have already been hard at work accessing their story versions. At the end of September, ermaccer fittingly made Ermac playable, and now, they have Quan Chi working too.

The Mortal Kombat franchise has rejiggered its timeline twice over the past decade, with Raiden altering the course of history starting with 2011’s Mortal Kombat and Liu Kang giving it another go in this week’s Mortal Kombat 1. Narrative reboots like these give developer NetherRealm Studios a chance to rework core elements of Mortal Kombat lore — bitter ninja rivalries, Earthrealmers battling supernatural monsters and wizards, Outworld royalty and military drama — with a fresh spin.

Anyone who picks up a copy of the Premium Edition will have access to the Kombat Pack, this is where you’ll find the confirmed Mortal Kombat 1 DLC characters.

The missing content is coming «in a matter of weeks.»

Settling on one fighting game in this day and age is no easy feat. With so many great titles, deciding which will be your next big investment is hard. Mortal Kombat 1 provides a wide array of content reminiscent of old series ventures like Mortal Kombat Deception and Deadly Alliance. You can jump into the series staple modes like versus, training and tutorials, classic Towers, or Kampaign, where you’ll witness a dimension-shattering new story. 

NetherRealm Studios and Warner Bros. Games today dropped the launch trailer for Mortal Kombat 1, which included the reveal of the final base roster fighter alongside the first look at Shang Tsung.

Ermac was finally unveiled in July earlier this year as part of Mortal Kombat 1's first DLC, to a resounding 'meh' from fans, with many asking him to please mask up. Now, the in-game design has leaked, and the sentiment is pretty much the same.

Everything comes full circle as Jean-Claude Van Damme prepares to join the lineup of Mortal Kombat 1. The inspiration for Johnny Cage is now a skin for the character, and he’s on display in a new trailer. Van Damme provided his likeness and voice for the skin, which lets him fire off quips with the klassic kast. 

Publisher Warner Bros. Games and developer NetherRealm Studios have released a new trailer for Mortal Kombat 1 providing a first look at the Jean-Claude Van Damme character skin for playable character Johnny Cage.
