Actor Lends Voice and Likeness to Iconic Fighting Game
Warner Bros. Games and NetherRealm Studios have introduced a new addition to Mortal Kombat 1’s roster, bringing DC Super Hero Peacemaker, portrayed by John Cena, into the fray as the latest guest fighter. This character, originating from The Suicide Squad film and the subsequent Peacemaker series on Max, is now a playable character within the game. Cena’s involvement goes beyond a mere cameo, as he provides both the voice and the visual basis for the character, ensuring that the in-game Peacemaker mirrors his cinematic counterpart in appearance, voice, and personality.
Gameplay and Features
The integration of Peacemaker into Mortal Kombat 1 is highlighted by a unique moveset that showcases his expert gunslinging abilities, distinctive helmet skills, and the inclusion of his loyal bald eagle sidekick, Eagly. Additionally, players can expect to enjoy Peacemaker’s well-known dance moves and his characteristic brash humor as they navigate through the game. Peacemaker, also known as Christopher Smith, is depicted as challenging the peace established by Liu Kang, ready to confront any character that stands in his path within the game’s universe.
Availability and Kombat Pack Details
Peacemaker is currently accessible in Mortal Kombat 1 for players who own the Kombat Pack, with broader availability set for March 6. The Kombat Pack itself is a comprehensive addition to the game, featuring not only Peacemaker but also an exclusive Jean-Claude Van Damme skin for Johnny Cage. Early access to six playable DLC characters is granted through the pack, including Omni-Man, Quan Chi, Ermac, Homelander, Takeda Takahashi, alongside Peacemaker, with five DLC Kameo Fighters slated for future release. This pack is part of the Mortal Kombat 1 Premium Edition but is also available for purchase separately for those looking to expand their character lineup.
This release represents a significant update to Mortal Kombat 1, offering players new content and the opportunity to engage with one of DC’s most unique characters in a fighting game setting.
