Mortal Kombat 1, the latest installment of the fighting game series from NetherRealm Studios, will be adding at least six additional characters to its growing roster of fighters and Kameo characters, including old favorites that include Cyrax, Sektor, and Noob Saibot—the secret, shadowy character from Mortal Kombat II that players later learned was actually Bi-Han, the original Sub-Zero from the 1992 game—according to new information discovered by a dataminer. Conan the Barbarian is also said to be one of the additions, and while it isn’t clear whether Arnold Schwarzenegger, who starred as the character in the original films, has lent his face and/or voice to the role, he did appear as the Terminator in Mortal Kombat 11.
The characters that have been uncovered include:
- Cyrax
- Sektor
- Noob Saibot
- Ghostface
- Conan the Barbarian
- T-1000

Game description:
Developed by award-winning NetherRealm Studios, Mortal Kombat 1 introduces a new beginning for the franchise with a reborn Mortal Kombat Universe created by Fire God Liu Kang, featuring iconic heroes and villains reimagined as they’ve never been seen before. The genre-defining Story mode provides a fresh cinematic narrative with new relationships, unexpected twists on classic rivalries, and original backstories for a wide-ranging cast of characters.
Mortal Kombat 1 extends the single player offering with the debut of Invasions, a progression-based mode where gamers can traverse the realms via an interactive map, experiment with different character builds, and complete numerous challenges to earn a variety of rewards, all built on a themed six-week seasonal schedule.
Mortal Kombat 1 also features the new Kameo Fighter system, providing a separate roster of support characters to assist during matches. Pulled from over 30 years of Mortal Kombat history, Kameo Fighters bring an advantage to every fight with an arsenal of offensive and support-based special moves, unique throws, defensive breakers, devastating Fatal Blows, and brutal Fatalities.
