The highly anticipated T-1000 from Terminator 2: Judgment Day has arrived in Mortal Kombat 1, joining the ranks of guest characters like Ghostface and Conan the Barbarian.  Voiced and modeled after Robert Patrick, the original actor, the T-1000 brings his liquid metal menace and signature moves to the brutal fighting game.

Fans have already glimpsed the T-1000's gruesome fatalities, some inspired directly from the film.  The character even includes subtle nods to other roles played by Robert Patrick.  Players with Early Access can jump into the action immediately, while the full DLC release is set for March 25th.

Along with the T-1000, this substantial update introduces Madam Bo, the spirited restaurant owner from Mortal Kombat 1's story mode, as a new Kameo fighter.  Her unique moveset, including a particularly memorable Kameo Fatality, adds another layer of strategic depth to the game’s combat system.  Every Kameo Fatality offers distinct animations and effects, adding variety to the finishing blows.

This patch also addresses balance and gameplay for existing characters such as Baraka, Johnny Cage, Kenshi, Kitana, and Shang Tsung, among others.  These adjustments aim to refine the fighting experience and ensure a competitive landscape.

Technical improvements are included as well.  The PC version benefits from an additional Ray Tracing Quality option for enhanced visuals and optimized performance.  Stability improvements and other general fixes have been implemented across all platforms, with the Nintendo Switch version receiving specific updates to graphical textures.

While the future of Mortal Kombat 1 DLC remains unclear,  NetherRealm has confirmed upcoming character skins based on the Mortal Kombat 2 movie, featuring cinematic looks for Johnny Cage, Shao Khan, and Katana.  Whether or not more characters join the roster alongside the T-1000 and Madam Bo remains to be seen.
