Mortal Kombat 1 has unveiled two consecutive videos showcasing its upcoming content. Yesterday's esports trailer teased the T-1000, but confirmed that the Terminator isn't the next playable character. Instead, Conan the Barbarian is the focus, arriving next week for premium edition owners. Today's gameplay trailer offers a closer look at this iconic character in action.

Conan's gameplay demonstrates a classic "big body" fighting style. His attacks appear powerful and likely deliver substantial damage, though he sacrifices agility and speed. This may be offset by his extended sword reach. A clash between Conan and characters like General Shao, Omni-Man, and Homelander would certainly be a spectacle.

While visually reminiscent of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Conan's fatality lacks the visual punch of some other Mortal Kombat 1 finishers. His acid-drowning fatality is somewhat underwhelming. However, the overall gameplay experience offered by Conan the Barbarian is likely to prove entertaining.

Premium edition owners gain early access on Tuesday, while everyone else can expect Conan to join the roster on January 28th.
