Warner Bros. has attempted to placate angry Mortal Kombat 1 players with two 'free' Fatalities following an outcry caused by the decision to introduce a $10 USD Fatality animation to the game's already heavily criticised premium store.

A surprising leak has come up for upcoming DLC characters for Mortal Kombat 1.
Redditor Quan_Chi shares this clip from Dan Allen Gaming in an interview with Andrew Morgado, the voice actor for Reptile in the new game. In the clip he shared, Morgado claimed that he was in the studio when Robert Patrick himself appeared, and that Robert would be voicing the T-1000. Quan_Chi has then captioned this with the claim that T-1000 will be coming in Mortal Kombat 1.
Of course, the T-1000 was the big baddie in Terminator 2: Judgement Day. In that film, the T-1000 itself appeared to be a mass of silver that could shapeshift into any human form it wanted to. As Terminator 2: Judgement Day’s director James Cameron revealed in his biography, he chose to have the T-1000 take the identity of a cop for most of the film.
While he initially struggled with how to make the abstract idea of a liquid menace relatable, he caught the cultural zeitgeist of distrust vs cops in America following the Rodney King beating. They then cast a young Robert Patrick in the role, as a lean, lithe actor, who could successfully project a menace that could go toe to toe with former bodybuilder Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Of course, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s T-800 made an appearance in the prior Mortal Kombat game, Mortal Kombat 11. There probably isn’t much point to speculate on the lore behind this, as Mortal Kombat’s guest characters are generally understood to be pure fan service and fall outside the franchise’s storylines.
But it is certainly strange that the T-800 and T-1000 are appearing in different games. But then, it is possible that NetherRealm planned to bring Arnold back for this game as well. That would also enable a really fun faceoff between two 80s icons, as Arnold’s T-800 could fight Jean Claude Van Damme finally playing Johnny Cage as Ed Boon always wanted.
There isn’t much we can say about this rumor’s veracity. This seems to be an episode of Dan Allen Gaming that hasn’t been uploaded to YouTube to verify. At the same time, we can clearly see the actor making the claim in person in that clip.
If true, it will certainly be another fun crossover character to add to that roster, meeting up with Homelander, Omni-Man, Peacekeeper, and all the other funny comics characters showing up in Mortal Kombat 1, for no real clear reason.

Here’s how the villainous Viltrumite ends his MK matches.
NetherRealm Studios and WB Games recently debuted gameplay footage for Mortal Kombat 1’s first DLC character, Invincible’s Omni-Man, though it seems the DLC will be omitting something that past DLC additions to Mortal Kombat games have not.
A new gameplay trailer has been released showing off the upcoming Omni-Man DLC, which is inspired by the Invincible comic book and Prime Video adult animated series and features the voice of actor J. K. Simmons. It will be released on November 9 as the first playable character in the Kombat Pack.
Mortal Kombat 1’s first DLC character, Omni-Man, is available to download from November 9, Warner Bros. Games and developer NetherRealm have announced.
NetherRealm Studios has a big new update available for Mortal Kombat 1, which adds a long-request quality-of-life feature: tagging moves. Players can now tag moves from the Move List to the screen, making it easier to practice them. The Move Last will also remember if Advanced View is enabled and return to the last used tab.
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.
Mortal Kombat 1 recently released to some great reviews, and while fans are generally having a great time with the game – not every decision has been met with a positive response. A recent update to the game had a patch note stating “Halloween Fatality added to the Premium Store”, but no such fatalities were found within the game itself.
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.
