Preorders for the expansion include four new skins: “Wedding Scorpion,” “Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 Sub-Zero,” “Empress Mileena,” and “Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 Noob Saibot.” A free update called “Animality” will be available at the time of the launch of “Khaos Reigns,” featuring the return of the “Animality” finishing moves from Mortal Kombat 3.
Here’s an overview of the new content coming:
Khaos Reigns
After repelling invaders that threatened the New Era of peace from the Fire God Liu Kang, Mortal Kombat 1 “Khaos Reigns” expands the story campaign with a completely new cinematic narrative. When a dangerous threat emerges from an alternative timeline, led by the ruthless Titan Havik whose sole mission is to throw the realms into chaos, Liu Kang must rally his champions and place trust in his enemies to defeat this grave danger. Should they fail, the New Era will fall into anarchy.
Animality
The Animalities, fan-favorite finishing moves, will return as a free update for all Mortal Kombat 1 players. Allowing characters to transform into their animal spirit to annihilate defeated opponents, Animalities can be performed by all playable fighters and will be available alongside the release of Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns. Additionally, all owners of Mortal Kombat 1 will receive a free MK 95 Scorpion character skin inspired by the original Mortal Kombat film (1995).
