NetherRealm Studios today released a gameplay trailer for the first of three new Mortal Kombat characters arriving in Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns, Cyrax.
Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns arrives in September with a treasure trove of new content. In addition to a new story, the expansion includes Kombat Pack 2, which comes with six characters. Three of them (Cyrax, Sektor, and Noob Saibot) hail from Mortal Kombat and the other three (Ghostface, Conan the Barbarian, and T-1000) are guests. Today, NetherRealm Studios provided a new gameplay trailer focused on Cyrax and her role within the story of Khaos Reigns.
The story aspects of the trailer confirm that a portion of the story focuses on Bi Han (Sub-Zero) instructing the Lin Kuei to crash Kuai Liang's (Scorpion) wedding. Since the end of Mortal Kombat 1 and Bi Han's betrayal of Earthrealm, Kuai Liang left the Lin Kuei to found the Shirai Ryu. Despite her misgivings, Cyrax joins Sektor on the mission and comes into conflict with Johnny Cage and Kuai Liang. Based on the trailer, it would appear that this event sets in motion her defection from the Lin Kuei.
