Netherrealm Teases the Arrival of Homelander From ‘The Boys’ in ‘Mortal Kombat 1’ [Teaser]
When you’re reminded of that milk-drinking scene from The Boys, you know you’re in for something special. While it’s not the official trailer for Homelander’s arrival in Mortal Kombat 1, NetherRealm is giving us a taste (sorry) of what to expect in the very near future, including the (somewhat) official reveal that Ferra (sans Torr) will be a Kameo Fighter.
Mortal Kombat creator Ed Boon had actually teased Ferra joining Mortal Kombat 1 a few days ago on X in his usual cheeky way.
As for Homelander, we’re not given any footage of him in action, although we do get what appear to be his fatalities. As you might expect (as was the case with Omni-Man), the fatalities call back to various scenes from The Boys. No official date has been announced for Homelander’s arrival in Mortal Kombat 1, but those who purchased the Kombat Pack will be granted Early Access before his wider release.
Meanwhile, Season 4 of The Boys does have a release date of June 13 on Prime Video. The superhero drama will return with three episodes on that date, followed by a new episode each week, ending with the season finale on Thursday, July 18.
Mortal Kombat 1 is out now for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.

Upcoming “Unholy Alliance” Update for ‘Cult of the Lamb’ Adds Local Co-op and More [Teaser]
Cult of the Lamb players will be getting more free goodies later this summer with the Unholy Alliance update. Coming August 12, the update introduces a brand new playable character in the Goat, which coincides with the game allowing local co-op.
With the Unholy Alliance update, the entire Cult of the Lamb campaign will be playable in local co-op. Players will also be able to enjoy special 2-player versions of existing mini-games, such as Fishing and Knucklebones, as well as choose from a selection of weapons, tarot cards, curses, and corrupted relics as your cooperative crusades progress.
The Lamb and Goat can also swap weapons, deal extra damage when fighting back to back, and even deliver a critical hit when their attacks are in sync. Good news for those who prefer to stay alone in their corner: they will be able to benefit from various new powers.
In addition to the addition of cooperative play, the Unholy Alliance expansion adds several tarot cards, relics, buildings, fleeces, character traits and quests, as well as the addition of new secrets to discover.
More information on the update will be released as the launch date creeps closer. Cult of The Lamb is available now on PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and the Nintendo Switch.
