In a new trailer, it was revealed that Mileena will be able to transform into a giant, horrifying praying mantis. On the other hand, a press release noted that every playable fighter in Mortal Kombat 1 will have an Animality.
Developer NetherRealm Studios made the reveal of the upcoming update for Mortal Kombat 1 during San Diego Comic-Con. It was also revealed that voice actors Enuka Okuma, Erika Ishii, and Kaiji Tang will voice Cyrax, Sektor, and Noob Saibot, respectively, said Polygon.
Ishii said that her new character is not a robot like what has been done in past games in the Mortal Kombat franchise. Hollywood actor Robert Patrick, who played the original T-1000 in the Terminator series, lent his voice to Mortal Kombat 1's upcoming character.
Additionally, Arnold Schwarzenegger, who has previously worked with the Mortal Kombat franchise to bring his Terminator character to life, is coming back to appear as Conan the Barbarian.
It is still unclear when players will actually get to see more gameplay showing off the new characters, according to IGN.
