Not only has NetherRealm revealed the release date and gameplay of Quan Chi, it has also given us our best look yet at John Cena's Peacemaker and Khameleon as a Kameo fighter.
Quan Chi is one of the characters that make up Mortal Kombat 1's Kombat Pack, and the legendary sorcerer will become available to those who have purchased the DLC package on December 14. If you just want Quan Chi and don't want to purchase the Kombat Pack, you will be able to unlock him on December 21.
The trailer is a great showcase for Quan Chi, who first appeared in the animated series Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm. His first video game appearance was Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero and he made his playable debut in Mortal Kombat 4.
The gameplay video features Quan Chi using his abilities to conjure portals to the NetherRealm and use them to attack his foes. We also got a glimpse of one of his Fatalities, and it has him summoning large planes of glass and slicing his enemy into many thinner pieces of themselves.
Khameleon is seen throughout the gameplay video as a Kameo fighter with Quan Chi, and her skills are just as impressive as the way she can change colors. Khameleon will become available in January 2024.
The gameplay trailer ends with a great tease as we see Quan Chi getting ready to battle Peacemaker. In the short scene, we get to hear John Cena's voice as the character in Mortal Kombat 1 for the first time as he says, "Not fight, beat senseless" after Quan Chi asks him if he wants to fight him.
Peacemaker is another member of Mortal Kombat 1's Kombat Pack alongside Homelander, Omni-Man, Ermac, and Takahashi Takeda, and he will arrive in February 2024.
