Ermac is the next fighter to join the Mortal Kombat 1 roster, and developer NetherRealm Studios has released a new gameplay trailer showing off what players can expect from the shadowy warrior. The trailer also reveals that Ermac hits Early Access on April 16 before a full release on April 23, and that Mavado will join the cameo roster later next month.
“Ermac is a collection of spirits connected to the dark magic of Quan Chi who seek to act as a group mind,” reads a press release. “But this spell is temporarily ended when Ermak is defeated by Milena and the mind of King Jerrod, the deceased ruler of the Outworld and one of the spirits in Ermak’s collection, takes control and the royal Rejoins the family, helping the reign of Empress Malena.
“Finally, the fusion of souls reasserts control, and Ermak retreats to the shadows of the Outworld. No longer a slave to Quan Chi, no longer bound to the royal family, he must find a future worth fighting for.”
