Warner Bros. :
Warner Bros. Games today released the latest Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns gameplay trailer spotlighting Noob Saibot, one of six new playable characters coming to Mortal Kombat 1 as part of the expansion. The trailer features an in-depth look at Noob Saibot’s abilities and moveset, along with story elements that provide insight into his origins and role within the reimagined Mortal Kombat 1 Universe.
In Fire God Liu Kang’s New Era, a godly Havik from another timeline stole Bi-Han’s soul to create the perfect henchman: Noob Saibot. As Sub-Zero, Bi-Han was the Lin Kuei’s ruthless Grandmaster who dreamed of making his clan a dominant force in Earthrealm. As Noob Saibot, Bi-Han is dedicated to fomenting anarchy. He will not rest until all forms of authority are eradicated.
Noob Saibot’s imposing moveset is on full display in the new trailer, including his use of teleportation to slam down opponents, ghostly projectiles that can detonate with explosive energy after attaching to foes, and the power to use an array of shadow-assisted attacks to take out enemies. The video also teases Noob Saibot’s Animality, the brutal finishing move allowing him to morph into a crocodile to annihilate his 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.
