Back in August, it was announced that Arnold Schwarzenegger’s character from the blockbuster Sci-Fi movie would soon join the character roster in the wildly popular fighting game, Mortal Kombat 11. Now, we have the first gameplay reveal of the character from the iconic action franchise, the T-800 Terminator, which looks exciting, to say the least.
Going by the gameplay trailer, it looks like the T-800 plays on the heavier side with slow-moving attacks, relying on brute force as opposed to fast movements. Besides, the trailer also shows that the character gets a powerful projectile. Yes, you guessed it right! It’s the famous shotgun from Terminator 2. Classic Terminator stuff!
Also, the T-800 gets a grenade projectile, allowing you to put some distance between you and your opponent making it a setup heavy character.
Not to mention, Netherealm has paid meticulous attention to detail as the character certainly reminds you of the Terminator movie franchise. For instance, the camera zooms-in to show the T-800’s metal exoskeleton when the character is dealt with a crushing blow. Besides, the trailer also shows the T-800 being fired by Scorpion. And instead of just burning off as any character would, the T-800 turns into a full-fledged metallic skeleton who’s been chasing Sarah Connor for years.
Terminator’s first brutality
To pay further homage to the iconic film franchise, Sony Blade is getting a Sarah Connor DLC costume. So yes, you can certainly go back to the T1 days and beat the hell outta the T-800.
Finally, Terminator’s first brutality is also here! And as you would expect, Netherealm did not disappoint as it’s very, very brutal. In the brutality, the Terminator grabs his opponent by the throat and then chokes it until their head shoots up in the air, and finally, blasts the head with a shotgun. Very nice touch.
The Terminator T-800 will be available as early access on October 8 via the Kombat Pack. Mortal Kombat 11 is available for PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch. Besides, the game is also set to release on Google Stadia next month.
