The latest trailer for Mortal Kombat 1 has revealed more of its rebooted fighters and narrative, with series icons Sub-Zero and Scorpion now leading the Lin Kuei clan as it faces opposition from enemy factions. They’re not alone in this struggle, as the trailer has revealed the ninja Smoke will also join them as a playable character, taking rare prominence in the main storyline.
Smoke will utilise flashy smoke-concealed hits and a curved dagger in his new fighting style, and will also have limited teleportation abilities that move him across the battlefield in dramatic bursts of grey.
Rain, another returning playable character, was also revealed in the latest trailer. Rain will wield a new magical water staff in this reboot/sequel, and use close and long-range hits to drown and defeat enemies.
You can see both characters in action in the newly-revealed Lin Kuei Mortal Kombat 1 trailer.
