The developers of Mortal Kombat 1 immediately talked about all the upcoming content for the second year of the popular fighting game.

During their San Diego Comic Con panel, a new trailer for the upcoming Khaos Reigns update was shown off, introducing new characters, new fatalities, and even a new story expansion. These new story chapters follow an alternate timeline version of Havik as he seeks to take over the main timeline and the champions of Earthrealm come together to stop him. This story expansion sees the return of three classic characters: Noob Saibot, Sektor, and Cyrax. Like many characters in the rebooted Mortal Kombat 1 timeline, these three legacy characters will have radically different origin stories alongside reinventions of their classic fighting styles. In this new timeline, Noob Saibot appears to be an agent of chaos created by Havik, while Sektor and Cyrax are now female ninjas instead of male.

All three of these characters will be released as part of Kombat Pack 2. And like the previous Kombat Pack, they’ll be joined by three guest characters: Conan the Barbarian, Ghostface, and the T-1000 from the Terminator franchise. No gameplay was shown for these guys, but we can expect plenty of spot-on references to their respective franchises, as well as some bloody finishing moves. And speaking of bloody finishing moves, the announcement ended with the return of Animalities, finishing moves where the winner transforms into an animal to brutally murder their opponent.

The Khaos Reigns expansion will release on September 24, with the Mortal Kombat characters releasing on the same day, and release dates for the three guest characters to be announced at a later date. Animalities will be released for free. Those who pre-order the expansion will receive new DLC costumes for current and future characters.
