The Power of Characters in Mortal Kombat 1 - Who are they and what can they do?

The World of Mortal Kombat 1

Friends, who wouldn't want to dive into the colorful world of Mortal Kombat 1? We're starting the timeline again, but this time with Liu Kang as the Fire God leading the mortals of EarthRealm. Instead of the Thunder God Raiden, we now have assistant characters called Kameos by our side, helping us out in tricky situations.

We've seen both expected and some long-forgotten fighters in the new timeline. Some of our favorite characters have undergone profound changes in their origin stories. Scorpion, for example, seems to be alive, and Kitana truly cares for her sister Mileena.

Mortal Kombat 1 Character List

The character list for Mortal Kombat 1 is divided into two different types: you have playable characters that you directly control, and cameo characters that serve as assistants. These cameo characters either extend your combos or interrupt an opponent's combo.

Playable Characters

Mortal Kombat 1 also brings back characters that rarely appear in main games. Li Mei is the most surprising addition so far.

Cameo Characters

  • Sareena (NEW)
  • Darrius
  • Cyrax
  • Frost
  • Jax Briggs
