After giving us a sneak peek last month, NetherRealm Studios and WB Games have finally added the T-1000 to Mortal Kombat 1’s DLC roster.
Arriving as a part of the ‘Kaos Reigns’ expansion, the T-1000 brings a whole host of T2-inspired moves to the famous fighter, joining the likes of Conan the Barbarian and Ghostface.
It’s not only DLC content that crops up in this update, mind you. The T-1000 is accompanied by support fighter Madam Bo, new skins, bug fixes and visual tweaks — some of which are even specific to the Switch version.
The full patch notes were shared on the official Mortal Kombat support website, and we have gathered all the Switch-relevant points together for you to check out below:
