Mortal Kombat 1 Shows Off Peacemaker In New Gameplay Trailer

thegamer.com:

Mortal Kombat 1 just dropped the first gameplay trailer for the upcoming Peacemaker DLC. You can check it out below.

It opens with Chris Smith doing his iconic dance from the opening of his titular show, before clashing against Fire God Liu Kang, giving us a taste of John Cena's performance.

As for how he plays, Peacemaker blends brawling with gunplay, though it's made abundantly clear that he's not a long-range zoner. We see him throwing punches up close far more than using his pistol, even whipping out his shield to propel Liu Kang into the air while summoning his pet eagle to dive at enemies.

We also see Peacemaker using his helmet to put up a shield and blast opponents away. He can even use it to "torpedo" himself. As for his x-ray, Eagly pecks at the enemy's eyes while Peacemaker carefully positions his shotgun so that it looks like it's his member, firing off a blast that shatters the opponent's ribs.

Of course, a gameplay trailer isn't complete without a Fatality. He slaps on a jetpack and flies so fast at his opponent that he tears them in half, followed by a sonic boom that eviscerates their flesh, leaving little more than a skeletal torso.

Lastly, the trailer confirms that Janet Cage is joining the Kameo roster in March, AKA the female version of Johnny Cage seen at the end of the story mode.

Not only is Peacemaker the second guest fighter so far, but he's the second comic book character. He first appeared in 1966, created by writer Joe Gill and artist Pat Boyettte, but became a fan-favourite with The Suicide Squad and his own show. He's even set to appear in the anime, Suicide Squad Isekai, with Takehito Koyasu (Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, Attack on Titan) lending his voice to the rising anti-hero star.

Comic characters are all the rage in this first Kombat Pack, as joining Omni-Man and Peacemaker is the iconic Homelander. But while the first two have seen their respective actors reprise their roles in Mortal Kombat 1, Homelander won't be voiced by
