Get ready, fighter, because the Chaos Reigns arrived, and it looks like the Mortal Kombat 1 decided that just fighting in hell wasn't enough. The NetherRealm Studios and the Warner Bros. Games have officially released the new DLC that promises to bring even more chaos to the already challenging Mortal Kombat 1. Want to know what's new? Then hold on tight, because here it comes!

The Return of Cyrax, Sektor and Noob Saibot – The Dark Trio

If you are one of those who loved to blow everything up with Cyraxwhich turns its enemies into robotic mincemeat, or preferred the stealth attacks of Sectorthis DLC is a gift from the cyber gods. Not to mention the dark Noob Saibotwhich continues to be darker than emo during a full moon. These three are ready to bring their deadly abilities back, and no, they didn't come to play.

The story of these guys in MK1 is more reimagined than a Disney remake. Cyrax, for example, is now a young warrior from the Lin Kuei clan, and Sektor, her respected cybernetic mentor. Noob Saibot, on the other hand, continues with that “shadows are my friends” vibe, only now he has the help of Havikthe great titan of chaos, to spread anarchy everywhere.

Ghostface, T-1000 and Conan: Who called this team?

And if you thought the cast was complete, don't worry, because the surprises don't stop. The DLC also brings three new guest fighters who came straight from cinema. The masked killer Ghostface (yes, the guy from Pânico who always calls at the worst time), the cyber T-1000 (which until the Arnold Schwarzenegger is afraid), and the classic barbarian Conanwho arrives ready to crush skulls and overthrow kingdoms.

Now tell me, who in their right mind thought that mixing Ghostface, a killer robot and a bloodthirsty barbarian would be a good idea? Answer: the geniuses at NetherRealm, of course! Because it's not enough to have ninjas, cybernetics and gods; you need to add a touch of Hollywood chaos.

Animalities are back – Now, everyone becomes an animal!

The New Tower of Time – Because defying gravity was already not enough

If you like a good challenge, Tower of Time is here to humiliate you in new ways. This mode, which has always had a rotation of events with increasing challenges, now brings new arenas like The Labyrinth and the Havik Citadel. And of course, the premise remains: survive the chaos as new modifiers turn your life upside down. But hey, the reward is worth it, or at least that's what you'll tell yourself as you attempt revenge after taking a beating.

Strike with the Gods – Surround yourself with Hoplites and lead the Phalanx!

As if all this chaos weren't enough, you'll also be able to lead your troops like a true Spartan commander. That's because, in Chaos Reignsthere is a new mechanic of siegewhere you can join forces with the Hoplites and use the formation Phalanx to give that naughty block to Greed. If the 300 Sparta inspired you, this is your moment to shine (or be crushed, depending on your skill level).
