New Mortal Kombat Character's Fatality Is The Most Brutal One
has dropped the official gameplay trailer for its upcoming DLC character, Homelander, and the standout feature is the new characte'rs Fatalities. While all Fatalities are devastating, as is their nature, the ones for Homelander come off as exceptionally brutal, all the while staying true to his character.
In a clip from the trailer provided by DiscussingFilm on X (formerly Twitter) – spliced from the full trailer from 's YouTube channel – Homelander uses his first Fatality on Liu Kang.
