Mortal Kombat 1 has been keeping fans on their toes with a series of exciting video releases. Following yesterday's esports trailer, which included a brief glimpse of T-1000, the focus has shifted away from the legendary Terminator. Instead, next week, players with the premium edition will get early access to the iconic Conan the Barbarian, as revealed in today's gameplay trailer.

Conan embodies the classic Big-Body brute archetype, bringing powerful attacks that likely deal substantial damage. While he may lack in agility and speed, his extended sword range could compensate for this, making him a formidable opponent. It will be intriguing to see how Conan fares against other heavy hitters like General Shao, Omni-Man, and Homelander.

Although Conan's appearance echoes the iconic Arnold Schwarzenegger, his fatality—where he drowns his opponent in a pool of acid—doesn't quite match the flair of some other Mortal Kombat 1 fatalities. However, the game is not solely about the finishing moves, and Conan's gameplay could still offer a thrilling experience.

Premium edition holders can look forward to trying out Conan next Tuesday, while everyone else will have to wait until January 28 to join in on the action.
