With Peacemaker making his way to Mortal Kombat 1 for all players tomorrow (those who purchased the Kombat Pack got the chance to play with him back on February 28), Warner Bros and NetherRealm have released a new behind-the-scenes video, providing an in-depth look at the upcoming antihero, as well as featuring Peacmaker actor John Cena sharing his experience in bringing his character to Mortal Kombat 1.
As expected, John Cena lends his voice and likeness to the Peacemaker, who brings a formidable moveset to Mortal Kombat 1, incorporating the character’s expert gunslinging skills, signature helmet abilities, and loyal bald eagle sidekick, Eagly. It’s all complemented by the character’s legendary dance moves and brash humor.
“Peacemaker is a character built for Mortal Kombat 1,” says Cena. “He is the definitive trash talker, he’s brash, and it’s a whole lot of attitude. To be in the Mortal Kombat 1 universe and to be up against competitors like Scorpion and Sub-Zero…I mean, I’m getting with hall-of-famers.”
In case you missed seeing Peacemaker in action (complete with his ridiculous fatality, WB Games and NetherRealm had released Peacemaker’s official gameplay trailer prior to his Early Access release. Peacemaker will be joined by Kameo fighter Janet Cage (a female version of Johnny Cage from an alternate timeline) later this month.
Mortal Kombat 1 is out now for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.
Meanwhile, we’re still waiting on details for the second season of Peacemaker, which will air on HBO Max.
