DC’s Peacemaker had been revealed for Mortal Kombat 1 ever since the first DLC character pack was announced, but a lot of fans had been frustrated ever since it was announced that he would be delayed.
Now NetherRealm has dropped a look at the gameplay for Peacemaker, and it’s just John Cena up to his usual shenanigans. Check this out:
Mortal Kombat already has their cop character in the form of Stryker, but Peacemaker is different in that he has ‘powers’ that come from his specialized helmet which he also uses alongside more traditional weapons.
If you’ve also seen the Max series, you’ll know that Peacemaker also comes with his pet Eagly which he can use to delve out attacks in the game like an extra Kameo fighter.
As far as his characterization goes, Peacemaker is pretty much a suped-up child of the 80s, what with his obsession with big muscles, guns, and 80s hair metal. We don’t know what kind of alternate skins the game has for him, but I imagine they can go crazy with a variety of helmets as well as an unmasked version to show off that John Cena face model.
We don’t know if any other DC characters will be coming to MK1 down the line, but we do know everyone is now looking for the next drop, Homelander from The Boys, maybe sometime around June.
Peacemaker comes to Mortal Kombat 1 on Feb. 28 for Early Access, but will be available for everyone come March 6. Mortal Kombat 1 is now playable for Xbox Series X|S, PS5, PC, and Nintendo Switch.
