Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns

Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns is an add-on to the fighting game titled Mortal Kombat 1 released in 2023. The expansion enriches the base version of the game with a continuation of the main plot and also features Kombat Pack 2 - a set of new playable characters. Both the original game and its add-on were developed by the NetherRealm studio, also known thanks to Injustice.

Plot

The expansion continues the story of the main heroes in the renewed universe created by the Fire God Liu Kang. His New Era once again faces a threat when the ruthless Lord Havik and his army arrive from an alternate timeline. The antagonist has only one goal - to introduce complete anarchy. Liu Kang must once again gather warriors who will face the danger.

Gameplay

In Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns we still participate in extremely brutal fights that are the hallmark of the series. The expansion does not introduce changes to the gameplay, instead focusing on expanding the group of heroes.

The DLC once again allows us to play as characters known from previous installments of the Mortal Kombat series. One of them is Noob Saibot, who cooperates with the main antagonist and uses his dark doppelgangers in battle. In Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns there are also female versions of Cyrax and Sektor, who use modern technology. The cast is complemented by iconic movie characters, namely Ghostface from Scream, T-1000 from Terminator 2: Judgment Day, and Conan the Barbarian. The movie characters are played by actors known from the big screen, namely Roger L. Jackson, Robert Patrick, and Arnold Schwarzenegger.

In addition, it is possible to perform a special finishing attack called an Animality, known from the third installment of the series. After triggering it, the victorious character takes the form of a huge animal (like a mantis, a hyena, or a scorpion), to then deal with the rival in a bloody way. This feature was made available for the owners of base Mortal Kombat 1 as part of a free update. It became unlocked on the day of the DLC premiere.

Technical aspects

Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns is a non-standalone add-on, so it requires the base game to run. It is worth mentioning that the content of Kombat Pack 2 is available exclusively in a set with the expansion.
