Warner Bros. Games today released a new Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns gameplay trailer spotlighting Cyrax, one of six upcoming playable characters coming to Mortal Kombat 1, which has sold more than 4 million units worldwide to date. The trailer features an in-depth look at Cyrax’s abilities and moveset, along with story elements that provide insight into her unique role within the reimagined Mortal Kombat 1 Universe.
In Fire God Liu Kang’s New Era, Cyrax is a young Lin Kuei warrior from the Zaki clan whose prodigious skills earned her an invitation to serve directly under Sektor. She seized the opportunity with her trademark vigor, but while her skills impressed, her independent streak created rifts between her and her mentor. It has become clear that Cyrax remains untamed and will serve the Lin Kuei on her terms, or not at all. Cyrax’s high-octane moveset is on full display in the new trailer, including her ability to leverage cybernetic technology to perform impressive aerial attacks and evasive maneuvers, complemented by her utilization of energy nets to pin down opponents, explosives to extend combos, and sawblades for devastating strikes.
The new video also teases Cyrax’s Animality, the brutal finishing move allowing her to morph into a hornet to annihilate her defeated opponents. The fan favorite Animalities will be available as a free content update for all Mortal Kombat 1 owners in conjunction with the Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns release on Sept. 24.
Additionally, new players can join the fight with the Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns Kollection, available now for pre-order on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC and Nintendo Switch. Pre-ordering this edition grants immediate access to the Mortal Kombat 1 main game, previous Kombat Pack, and 1,250 Dragon Krystals (in-game currency), plus access to the Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns Expansion at launch on Sept. 24.
