New Trailer Shows off Jean-Claude Van Damme in Action for ‘Mortal Kombat 1’! [Watch]
If you were wondering just when we’d finally get footage of Jean-Claude Van Damme doing what he does best in Mortal Kombat 1, wonder no more. NetherRealm has released a new trailer providing a preview of Van Damme’s likeness and voice in the game as a character skin for Johnny Cage.
It’s a bit surreal seeing Van Damme decked out in his (altered) Bloodsport gear doing Johnny Cage mannerisms before facing off against the character that was inspired by The Muscles from Brussels himself. But you have to admit that it’s also so frickin’ cool.
And yes, just in case you were also wondering, we do get Van Damme doing the famous Split Punch on Johnny Cage. Van Damme’s likeness also adds a bit of hilarity to Cage’s Fatality. Vroom-vroom, indeed.
Van Damme joins Megan Fox in Mortal Kombat 1, who was revealed earlier this week as the voice and likeness for Nitara.
The Jean-Claude Van Damme skin for Johnny Cage (available at launch) is part of the Kombat Pack, alongside early access to six new downloadable content (DLC) playable characters – Quan Chi, Ermac, Takeda Takahashi, Peacemaker, Omni-Man, and Homelander (which are all available post-launch) – and five new Kameo Fighters (available post-launch). The Kombat Pack is available as part of the Mortal Kombat 1 Premium Edition and Kollector’s Edition, which can be pre-ordered now.
Mortal Kombat 1 arrives on September 19 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.
Remember back in 2022 when developer Survios had announced that they were teaming up with 20th Century Games to develop a new Alien title? Well seeing as it’s Alien Day, Survios has announced their brand-new VR title, Alien: Rogue Incursion. Coming “Holiday 2024” to the PlayStation VR2, SteamVR, and Quest 3, Rogue Incursion will feature an original story that “fully surrounds players within the terrors of the Alien universe”.
Details on the game are light at the moment, but the official site describes the upcoming title as being “designed by Alien fans for Alien fans”, with Survios aiming to craft a “technically advanced, and frightfully immersive Alien virtual reality game.”
Seeing as Alien: Isolation never got official VR support when it was released, this is obviously a welcome announcement. In the meantime, if you’re keen to experience an Alien game in VR, you can always check out the fan-made mod for Alien: Isolation by Nibre_, which allows both the Steam and Epic Games Store version of Alien: Isolation to be played using the Oculus.
And speaking of Alien: Isolation, as you might expect, it’s got a hefty 80% discount going on at the moment on Steam until May 1. So if you still haven’t grabbed it after all these years, this is as good a time as any.
