Peacemaker Arrives for ‘Mortal Kombat 1’ on February 28 for Kombat Pack Owners

Published

It seems like forever since Quan Chi arrived in Mortal Kombat 1 back in December. And now it’s Peacemaker’s turn later this month. Part of the early access perk for purchasing the Kombat Pack, Peacemaker (modeled after and voiced by John Cena from his appearance in the HBO Max series and James Gunn‘s The Suicide Squad) will arrive in Mortal Kombat 1 on February 28, with the character being widely available soon after.

Peacemaker’s arrival coincides with a new season for Mortal Kombat 1, with the announcement coming late yesterday from the official Mortal Kombat 1 X account. The announcement also carried the first image of Peacemaker. Details on the new Kombatant (and the new season) will be coming at a later date.

The aforementioned Kombat Pack for Mortal Kombat 1 includes access to Omni-Man (from the Amazon Prime series Invincible), Quan Chi, Peacemaker, Ermac, and the soon-to-arrive Homelander (from the Amazon Prime series The Boys) and Takahashi Takeda. Joining them are Kameo fighters Tremor, Mavado, Janet Cage, Ferra, and Khameleon. Unfortunately, The Boys actor Antony Starr appears to not be voicing Homelander, judging from his comments last year.

Mortal Kombat 1 is out now for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.

Kickstarter Goal Achieved for Video Game Adaptation of ‘Lady Death’ Comic With ‘Lady Death Demonicron’

Published

Lady Death fans will be getting a video game to call their own. Franchise creator Coffin Comics has announced that Lady Death Demonicron, a canonical beat-em-up video game in the Lady Death universe, has been funded on Kickstarter and is currently in development for PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and the Nintendo Switch, courtesy of developer Art of Play Games.

With Lady Death Demonicron, the Lady Death franchise marks its 30th anniversary, which began way back in 1994 (though the character first appeared back in 1991). The Kickstarter for Lady Death Demonicron launched just three days ago, and has already reached its goal of $150,000 USD, with the campaign on until May 24.

“We’re excited to handcraft the next chapter of Lady Death in video game form with the creator of Lady Death Brian Pulido and his incredible team,” says Ash Nicholls, Director at Art of Play. “It’s time for Lady Death to conquer the video game space with the leadership of Art of Play,” says creator Brian Pulido. “Demonicron is true to Lady Death’s savage spirit. I can’t wait for players around the world to get their hands on it.”

Lady Death Demonicron will centre on Lady Death (naturally), who just wishes to mourn her friend in peace. Unfortunately, a horde of demonic enemies has swarmed the cemetery gates. These malevolent forces hound Lady Death between realms, invoking a hunt through alternate realities that bring forth a sinister mystery. Poised to help is Ravenheart, a haunted swordsman prepared to accompany Lady Death through these ominous realms in search of answers to a convoluted mystery.

In Demonicron, players will move through hand-drawn environments, accessing the heroine’s lethal sword skills, destructive magic, and strong intuition. You’ll be able to upgrade your kit as you battle through the beat-em-up’s 15 levels, earning new swords and uncovering brutal finishers to slay a path to victory.
