Read details on the three fighters below:
All three characters, which each hail from different realms, are showcased in a new trailer, entitled The Banished, complete with first look at gameplay and story elements.
Reptile, also known as Syzoth, is a reptiloid slave and shapeshifter from the fringes of Outworld with the ability to spew a powerful acid-like substance at opponents. Ashrah is a Netherrealm demon who has abandoned her evil-ridden ideologies and now fights with an enchanted Kriss dagger in her quest to find absolution. And Havik is an anarchist rebel from the oppressive realm of Seido, intent on taking down his world’s regime while leveraging a unique limb-tearing fighting style.
Mortal Kombat 1 will launch for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store on September 19.

I can't believe there was a time, many many years ago, when the MK characters were actually charismatic... And to see Havik, my favorite MK character of all time, reduced to "that", that's the last nail on the coffin for me.
Go to hell, boon! Go to hell, warner bros!
Nice to see Reptile in his human form again. Looks awesome.
Finally, after all these years, these long years, they've finally gone back to Reptile being a part of the story and actually being good.
I love his redesign as well, total glowup. Just don't kill him off so soon Ed.
I like the look of Repile. If there is one thing I like from Boon, it's that he is always very willing to mix up his roster per game. I sadly think Harada and Tekken has an issue with that. Too many people are dependent on their character being in the next one (or behind a pay wall). Speaking of which, Will? I presume you guys get press releases from WB for these, as noticed Tekken new characters don't get announced on the articles as much.
Very interesting redesign choices for Ashrah and Havik.... they look very different than what I was expecting, nonetheless, they look fun to learn and master!
