New-Look Reptile Joins Ashrah and Havik as the Latest ‘Mortal Kombat 1’ Roster Reveals [Trailer]
NetherRealm picks up from last week’s Geras reveal with more Kombatants joining the upcoming Mortal Kombat 1, announcing that Reptile, Ashrah, and Havik as the latest playable fighters joining the main roster. The reveal announcement is accompanied by a new trailer, primarily focusing on Reptile’s new look and portraying him in a more sympathetic light than in previous games.
In this incarnation for Mortal Kombat 1, Reptile, also known as Syzoth, is a reptiloid slave and shapeshifter from the fringes of Outworld. Fans will be happy to know that he still retains his ability to spew his acid-like substance at opponents. Though this time around, his entire body briefly morphs back to his reptilian form while performing his moves. We’re also treated to one of his juicy fatalities.
Another returning fighter from Mortal Kombat: Deception, Ashrah is a Netherrealm demon who has abandoned her evil-ridden ideologies, and now fights with an enchanted Kriss dagger in her quest to find absolution. The new trailer also gives us a glimpse at her fatality.
Also returning from Deception is Havik, an anarchist rebel from the oppressive realm of Seido, who is intent on taking down his world’s regime. We’re treated to his uniquely gory fighting style, which involves Havik ripping off his own limbs to beat his opponents with them.
In addition to the three fighters, we also get a glimpse of Sareena, who made her debut way back in Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero. For Mortal Kombat 1, Sareena is now a Kameo Fighter.
Mortal Kombat 1 is set for release on September 19 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.
Fans of Strange Scaffold and publisher Frosty Pop’s apocalyptic Life Eater have another reason to keep coming back to the game, as the much-anticipated Endless Mode is available now. Best of all, it’s a free update!
The new endless mode gives Life Eater players an arena to determine how long they can evade capture while delaying the end of the world. Collect score points called ZEAL by building an airtight procedure around your sacrifices, investigate the lives of countless procedurally generated kidnapping targets, and survive as long as possible in your personal gauntlet of nightmares.
“We’re so excited to expand the playtime of Life Eater with a uniquely dark and intriguing systemic experience,” says Strange Scaffold founder Xalavier Nelson Jr. “You really just terrorize an entire city of people over the span of decades, now, and I can only hope that I don’t come to regret writing that sentence in a press release.”
For those not in the know, Life Eater (check out Aaron’s review here) is a horror fantasy kidnapping simulator where you play as a druid living in suburbia. You serve a dark entity by abducting and sacrificing specific but vaguely described humans every year to stop the apocalypse. Use a unique video editing-inspired interface to discover the intimate lives of your victims, one schedule block at a time. When the time is right, abduct them before authorities find out.
You can snag a copy of Life Eater on Steam.
