Mortal Kombat 1 has revealed Quan Chi's gameplay trailer along with his December 14 release date. NetherRealm Studios is continuing the release schedule for Kombat Pack 1, which brought Omni-Man as a playable fighter and Tremor as the new Kameo Fighter. And there are even more Mortal Kombat 1 DLC fighters on the way, expanding the roster of playable characters and Kameo fighters.

Quan Chi was first seen in Mortal Kombat 4 and established his place in the franchise as a powerful and cold villain. One of Quan Chi's most notable adversaries is Scorpion, who lost his family and clan at the hands of the sorcerer. Sub-Zero also holds a huge grudge against Quan Chi, who corrupted his brother Bi-Han and turned him into the Noob Saibot. Although Quan Chi appeared in the Mortal Kombat 1 story mode, he wasn't available to play. But that will soon change, as a new video has given an exciting preview of what Quan Chi will be like as part of the game's playable cast.

Mortal Kombat 1 has released Quan Chi's gameplay trailer and revealed his release date on December 14. Players who buy the Mortal Kombat 1 Premium Edition or the Kombat Pack 1 will have early access to the fighter. In his current version, Quan Chi bears a lot of resemblance to his Mortal Kombat X counterpart, like being able to extend the range of his moves through portals. Quan Chi has kept his skull projectiles, which can be fired on the ground or in the air. The sorcerer controls a Lovecraftian creature that uses the portals to attack. Against Shang Tsung, he shows a special move, which is a bone prison used to limit the opponent's movements.

As rumored by fans, Khameleon made her debut in Quan Chi's trailer, which revealed that the Kameo Fighter will arrive in January 2024. She shows off the moves used by Jade, Mileena, and Kitana, such as Jade's special that gives her a green glow and immunity to projectiles. The trailer also shows one of Quan Chi's Fatalities, where he summons a series of glass panels to slice Shang Tsung with ease. The end of the video features a brief appearance by Peacemaker, and although it doesn't include gameplay, the exchange between John Cena's character and Quan Chi excited Mortal Kombat 1 players. Peacemaker is one of the characters included in the first Kombat Pack, along with Homelander.
