New Mortal Kombat 1 trailer reveals Shao Kahn and Sindel

Also Motaro appears as a Kameo

A new trailer was shown off for Mortal Kombat 1 as part of the Gamescom Opening Night Live stream. Beyond being another peek at the narrative, there are a few character reveals, as well.

At this point, I thought we’d seen the entire roster, but it looks like that isn’t the case. Both the legendary Mortal Kombat boss Shao Kahn and his Queen, Sindel, have been shown off.  We also get a closer look at a younger, spunkier Raiden. Mortal Kombat 3 sub-boss Motaro also appears as a pretty awesome-looking Kameo. Uh, I think I know who I’m picking.

You know, If Liu Kang was trying to remake the universe to be a more peaceful and prosperous place to live, I’m not sure why he’d bring back Shao Kahn. At least now, he seems to exist beneath the heel of Sindel, which is a bit of a flip.

Uhh, so does this mean there’s still a chance that I’ll get Sheeva? Please?

Mortal Kombat 1 comes out September 19, 2023 to PC, Switch, Xbox Series X|S, and PS5.
