NetherRealm Studios has announced that its next character, Conan the Barbarian, will come to the Mortal Kombat 1 roster on January 21, 2025.
Studio head Ed Boon shared a brief trailer for Conan the Barbarian in MK1 on X. In addition to confirming the character’s January 2025 release date, it gives us a glimpse at some of his abilities. We see him using his sword to slash and juggle enemies, with one ability allowing him to deflect a projectile back at an enemy.
If NetherRealm sticks with previous patterns, we can expect to see a more in-depth dive into Conan’s gameplay before his arrival next month. It’s also worth noting that while the character was famously portrayed on-screen by Arnold Schwarzenegger, it remains unclear who voices the character in Mortal Kombat 1.
Conan the Barbarian will hit early access in Mortal Kombat 1 on January 21, 2025. He’ll be the latest fighter in MK1’s Year 2 DLC line-up, following the release of Ghostface last month.
