Mortal Kombat 1: Peacemaker comes to restore disorder – News

Discovered by ordinary mortals in the film The Suicide Squad (the good joke of 2021, not the cynical clip of 2016), Peacemaker is a super-anti-hero with good intentions too often perverted by the unhealthy teachings of his father. As a result, if he sincerely desires to bring peace to Earth, his methods are simply awful. Not to mention its atomic splendor which makes Bigard outdated under Ricard. But to be a big idiot has never stopped anyone from knowing how to fight, far from it, and Peacemaker handles the gun as well as the blowgun with poisoned darts or the shotgun – an arsenal duly used to subdue the competition in Mortal Kombat 1.

A greasy and fragrant peace

Peacemaker can also call upon Eagly, his pet eagle, to serve as subsidiary projectiles. He can also count on his helmet with integrated gadgets to defend himself: an anti-projectile force field? Easy. A little anti-gravity to float off the screen and land on the opponent in overhead ? Simple. Imitate the torpedo by throwing yourself at your opponent like Raiden on 3.5 grams of alcohol? Elementary. We can only blame NetherRealm for not having given it a very strong gameplay identity at first glance given the diversity of its tools. As for the first fatality revealed, it involves a helmet functionality central to the series and a jetpack. We'll let you discover.

These first gameplay images also reveal the kameo fighter Janet Cage, a female variant of the handsome guy Johnny who has passed through a rift in the multiverse. At least as egocentric as her counterpart, Janet can help us with the classic techniques of the Cage family (neon green kick or mandal in the nuts). Janet Cage looks like she could stay on the field for a while to help us juggle the opponent. We are awaiting more details to better understand its capabilities.

And since two good news never come alone, NetherRealm Studios dates the arrival of krossplay to February 28. The PC, PS5 and Xbox communities will be able to come together to send each other knuckle salads. Mortal Kombat 1 will also launch a major seduction operation with a free demo available from March 7 to 10 containing all the basic characters, all the Kameo fighters, the first two chapters of Story mode and the very filling Invasions mode. A final addition that should perhaps have been left in the garage given its inanity.

Peacemaker arrives in Mortal Kombat 1 on February 28. Behind him, in the season pass, still to come Ermac, the Protector (Homelander in original version) and Takeda Takahashi.
