Mortal Kombat 1 Confirms 3 More Characters

Mortal Kombat 1 has confirmed three more characters that will be appearing in the game: Motaro, Nitara, and Reiko. NetherRealm's highly-anticipated fighting game has had a major presence at this year's San Diego Comic Con. Two new Mortal Kombat 1 trailers have been released to the masses as a part of the event, while a third has so far only been shown to those who are in attendance in San Diego.

The first two trailers for Mortal Kombat 1 that came out of San Diego Comic Con revealed some new characters for the fighting game's growing roster. This includes the previously-leaked Mortal Kombat 1 DLC characters Peacemaker, Omni Man, and Homelander. For some reason, the third Mortal Kombat 1 trailer from Comic Con has not been released online in an official capacity yet, but thanks to those on the ground in San Diego, we know that it includes three new characters.

According to a report by ComicBook, the third Mortal Kombat 1 trailer shown at San Diego Comic Con features Motaro, Nitara, and Reiko. One of the franchise's more unique characters, Motaro is a four-legged Centaurian who first appeared in Mortal Kombat 3. Nitara, meanwhile, is a winged vampire who debuted in 2002's Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance, while Reiko is an Outworld character who first appeared in Mortal Kombat 4. All three of these characters had cameos in Mortal Kombat 11, but it seems they will have bigger roles to play in Mortal Kombat 1. It has yet to be specified if they will be full-fledged members of the roster, Kameo Fighters, or simply appear in story mode cutscenes, however.

For the uninitiated, Kameo Fighters are a new concept in Mortal Kombat 1 where players are able to enlist help from various other Mortal Kombat characters mid-battle. They are not fully playable characters, but they are still going to play a significant role in the gameplay. There will also be some characters who pull double duty as both Kameo Fighters and main roster members, so Mortal Kombat fans should keep that in mind.

It remains to be seen when this newest Mortal Kombat 1 trailer will be released to the masses, but hopefully fans don't have to wait too long. Thanks to the game's appearance at Comic Con, the Mortal Kombat 1 roster is really taking shape, with both the Kameo Fighters field and the main roster field getting filled out. The game's release date is right around the corner, so fans should have some final tallies when it comes to Mortal Kombat 1 characters soon enough.

Mortal Kombat 1 launches September 19 for PC, PS4, PS5, and Xbox Series X.
