During the EVO 2023 tournament over the weekend, there was quite a bit of fighting game news revealed. Warner Bros. Games and NeatherRealm Studios revealed three more characters for its upcoming Mortal Kombat 1 game that is set to release on September 19. All three of these characters hail from different realms and have been combined into one story-related trailer that has been named The Banished. There is gameplay and story elements revealed here and it also offers a new Kameo Fighter, which brings the total announced to four fighters in this trailer.

Currently, Mortal Kombat 1 includes all new backstories for fighters. So far, the following characters have been announced: Liu Kang, Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Raiden, Kung Lao, Kitana, Mileena, Shang Tsung, Johnny Cage, Kenshi, Smoke, Rain, Li Mei, Tanya, Baraka and Geras. The first new fighter to be announced is the return of Reptile, who will have his human form as his base as opposed to recent titles. Also known as Syzoth, Reptile is described as a reptilian slave and shape shifter that hails from the Outworld that can spew powerful acid-like substances at opponents. Reptile will quickly morph to a lizard during gameplay and will also disappear, much like his original move set.

The next announcement comes in the form of Ashrah, a Netherrealm demon who has abandoned the evil-ridden ideologies and fights with an enchanted Kriss dagger. Lastly, Havik is an anarchist rebel from the oppressive realm of Seido that is hellbent on taking down his world’s regime while leveraging a unique limb-tearing fighting style. He also has claws that extract much like a famous character in the Marvel universe, but he has the ability to use detached limbs to beat down opponents. The Kameo Fighter
