The latest trailer for the upcoming Mortal Kombat 1 from NetherRealm Studios showcases several familiar faces. The footage is not only a preview of old-new fighters, but also guest appearance of several lesser-known characters.

Trailer focuses on members of the Lin Kuei - a clan that brings gathers exquisite assassins and warriors.

In addition to the most classic heroes - the "fiery" Scorpion and the "icy" Sub-Zero - another featured character turned out to be Smoke. This ninja - who made his debut in the series as a hidden boss in Mortal Kombat II - demonstrated to us his ability to control smoke.

Players were also introduced to Rain - a warrior wielding the element of water, who in the latest installment lived to see a classy staff.

In addition to these two characters, a small part of the trailer also features three other ninjas:

  1. Cyrax and Sektor - two cyborg members of the Lin Kuei from Mortal Kombat 3 era;
  2. Frost - cryomancer and Sub-Zero's apprentice.

Although these characters will not appear in Mortal Kombat 1 as playable fighters, their presence as part of the Kameo Fighters represents a nice nod to fans of the series.

As a reminder: Mortal Kombat 1 will go on sale September 19. The game will be released on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and Nintendo Switch.
