Mortal Kombat 1 has been keeping fans on their toes with back-to-back video releases. Just yesterday, we were treated to an esports trailer that included a tantalizing glimpse of the T-1000, but don't get too excited— the legendary Terminator isn't the next fighter to join the roster. Instead, next week, premium edition holders will get their hands on none other than Conan the Barbarian. Today, the MK1 team unveiled a gameplay trailer for this iconic character, showcasing what he brings to the fight.

Conan embodies the classic Big-Body brute archetype. His powerful attacks are likely to pack a serious punch, though he may lack in agility and speed. However, his sword's extended reach could compensate for this, adding a strategic layer to his gameplay. It would be thrilling to watch Conan go head-to-head with other heavy hitters like General Shao, Omni-Man, and Homelander.

While Conan's appearance is reminiscent of Arnold Schwarzenegger, his fatality might not leave you as awestruck as some of MK1's other finishing moves. Drowning an opponent in a pool of acid is straightforward but lacks the flair we've come to expect from Mortal Kombat fatalities. Nevertheless, the game's appeal extends beyond just the finishing moves, and Conan the Barbarian is poised to offer an engaging gameplay experience.

If you're among the lucky ones with the premium editions, you'll be able to try out Conan next Tuesday. For everyone else, the wait extends until January 28. Get ready to experience the might of Conan in Mortal Kombat 1!
