Mortal Kombat 1 is not slowing down when it comes to new character announcements and surprise reveals. Most recently, the first Kombat Pack was revealed for the game, which announced several guest characters and returning Mortal Kombat alumni. Fans of the series will have more announcements to look forward to, including the return of a character that first appeared in Mortal Kombat 11. The roster of playable fighters just continues to get bigger and bigger.
Revealed in a brand new trailer that debuted during DreamCon 2023, Netherrealm Studios announced that Geras from Mortal Kombat 11 will be returning in MK1. The trailer showcases Geras interactions with Fire God Liu Kang and hints at his influence during the story of Mortal Kombat 1. The trailer also showcases some hard-hitting combos and special moves that Geras can use, which focus heavily on his time magic from the sands of time. His brutal fatality was also shown for the first time, which involves decimating half of an opponent’s body off using the magical sands he controls.
Geras was originally a villain that the warriors of Earthrealm had to face in Mortal Kombat 11. He was a servant of Kronika, the big boss in MK11, and tried to prevent Raiden and his warriors from stopping her plans. In Mortal Kombat 1, Geras will have a new design that is a little different than his first appearance in the series, as well as plenty of special moves that expand upon his fighting style.
In the trailer, we see Geras team up with Sector, the robotic Lin Kuei ninja that appears in the game as a Kameo fighter. But that’s not the only fighter we catch a glimpse of in battle. Geras also teams up with Darius in a battle against the Edenian ninja Rain and Kano. Although we don’t get to see a lot of attacks from Rain, Geras and Darius get to display many different Kameo moves and combos on their opponents. The rest of the trailer goes on to show Fire God Liu Kang in action, finishing off with Fatalities from both fighters at the end.
