Mortal Kombat 1 Year 2 Called “Khaos Reigns,” Cyrax and Sektor to Be Gender Swapped, Animalities Confirmed

NetherRealm Studios stayed true to their word that gamers will know more about Mortal Kombat 1’s Year 2 plans at San Diego Comic-Con. The Mortal Kombat panel revealed that the second year of support for the fighting game will be called “Khaos Reigns.”

NetherRealm states that the MK1 Year 2 DLC is like the “Aftermath” expansion from Mortal Kombat 1, and the studio also confirmed the previous datamined characters as well. Players can expect Ghostface from the Scream movie franchise, T-1000 from the Terminator film franchise, Conan The Barbarian, and returning characters Noob Saibot, Sektor and Cryax.

Added info on Sektor and Cyrax, NetherRealm has mentioned that the two characters will be gender swapped, which might trigger some folks, though I sure hope it doesn’t (let’s see what NetherRealm does first and then react accordingly).

Also of note, NetherRealm is said to be adding animalities in the game! For those old enough to remember, the animality finisher was first introduced in Mortal Kombat 3 which turned the winning fighter into an animal (or some sort of creature), which had their own way of finishing enemies.

Here’s a look at Rain’s animality concept:
