Ermac Joins ‘Mortal Kombat 1’ Roster Next Week [Trailer]
After getting Peacemaker last month, Mortal Kombat 1 fans will see the return of fan favourite Ermac this month. For those who have Early Access as a Kombat Pack owner, Ermac joins the roster on April 16, with the full release on April 23. The new gameplay trailer gives fans a taste of what to expect from the telekinetic ninja, as well as his painful-looking fatality.
Joining Ermac in the trailer is Mavado. Last seen in Mortal Kombat X, Mavado joins the Mortal Kombat 1 roster as a Kameo fighter later in May.
In keeping with the established timeline we all know, Ermac is a collection of souls bound together by Quan Chi’s dark magic that are intended to function as a group mind. But that spell is temporarily undone when Ermac is defeated by Mileena and the mind of King Jerrod, deceased ruler of Outworld and one of the souls in Ermac’s collection, takes control and rejoins the royal family, aiding Empress Mileena’s reign. Eventually, the amalgam of souls reestablishes control, and Ermac retreats to Outworld’s shadows. No longer Quan Chi’s slave, nor bound to the royal family, he must find a future worth fighting for.
Mortal Kombat 1 is out now for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store. Meanwhile, Simon McQuoid‘s upcoming Mortal Kombat 2 film adaptation wrapped filming earlier this year, with fans waiting for the new trailer to drop later this year.
