Mortal Kombat 1 DLC character Omni-Man launches November 16

Publisher Warner Bros. Games and developer NetherRealm Studios have announced that the previously announced Mortal Kombat 1 DLC character Omni-Man, will launch on November 16 for all players. However, those who own the Kombat Pack will get to access the player earlier on November 9. A trailer showing the character and his fatality was also released. Omni-Man, also known as Nolan Grayson, “hails from the alien world of Viltrum and has long fought to protect his adopted home of Earth as one of the planet’s most powerful champions.”

Additional details via the publisher:

Omni-Man, also known as Nolan Grayson, hails from the alien world of Viltrum and has long fought to protect his adopted home of Earth as one of the planet’s most powerful champions. He even raised his son, the hero known as Invincible (Mark Grayson), to follow in his footsteps and carry on his legacy. But the Viltrumite warrior’s true mission was never benevolence—it was conquest. And the Viltrum Empire, hungry for expansion, has no intention of stopping at Earthrealm.

Inspired by the Invincible comic book and Prime Video adult animated series and featuring the voice of actor J. K. Simmons, Omni-Man in Mortal Kombat 1 exhibits a formidable moveset and powerful abilities, arriving in Nov. 2023 as the first playable character in the Kombat Pack.

The Mortal Kombat 1 Kombat Pack includes a character skin for Johnny Cage with the voice and likeness of actor and martial artist Jean-Claude Van Damme (available now); three new playable Mortal Kombat characters—Quan Chi (winter 2023/2024), Ermac (spring 2024), Takeda Takahashi (summer 2024); three new playable guest fighters—Omni-Man (November 2023), Peacemaker based on DC’s The Suicide Squad film & Peacemaker series on Max (winter 2023/2024), Homelander based on The Boys television series (spring 2024); one-week early access to all playable characters; and five new Kameo Fighters—Tremor (Nov. 2023), along with Ferra, Janet Cage, Khameleon, and Mavado (release dates still to be announced).

The Kombat Pack is available now as part of the Mortal Kombat 1 Premium Edition for $109.99 (SRP) or separately for $39.99 (SRP). All playable characters and Kameo Fighters will also be available for standalone purchase.
