‘Mortal Kombat 1’ Pro Kompetition Trailer Features Upcoming Guest Fighter Conan the Barbarian [Watch]

As these things go, it’s not much, but what we get looks darn cool. NetherRealm Studios has released a new trailer announcing the schedule and program details for the Mortal Kombat 1 Pro Kompetition: Season 2. And in the trailer, we get our first glimpse of guest fighters Conan the Barbarian and the T-1000, with the former delivering an appropriately savage Brutality.

The Mortal Kombat 1 Pro Kompetition will feature players of all ranks with a chance to compete for a cut of the $255,000 USD prize pool across a variety of live, in-person events in North America, Latin America, South America, and Europe, as well as multiple online tournaments. Season 2 will begin with Pro Kompetition Mexico, an in-person event hosted in Mexico City on February 22nd, and the program will culminate at the Final Kombat World Championship, scheduled for September 2025.

Meanwhile, the trailer for the event showed fans the first glimpse of Conan the Barbarian in action, who will be released on January 21 as part of the early access period for Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns Expansion owners, followed by wide availability on January 28. As with the T-800 from Mortal Kombat 11 Conan features the likeness of actor Arnold Schwarzenegger, and will be getting an official gameplay trailer later today.

Meanwhile, we’re still waiting for news on just when we’ll be getting the T-1000, who will feature the likeness and voice of Robert Patrick. Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns is out now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.
