One of the most-iconic horror franchises ever is Scream, where a hooded figure in a ghost mask terrorizes a local community across multiple films. With Halloween coming up, NetherRealm has announced its plans to keep the scares going into next month, as Ghostface enters Mortal Kombat 1 on November 19 for those with early access.
A brief teaser trailer appeared on the official Mortal Kombat YouTube channel, which offers brief glimpses at Ghostface’s arsenal of moves. We see him attack Johnny Cage as he sits on a couch watching TV in one scene, while another depicts him taking a stab at Raiden.
Along with these flashes, we also see an array of masks that Ghostface can wear that add more flair to the infamous howling ghost. One dons a ninja mask like Scorpion, another is red with devil horns, and a third has massive teeth jutting out from its mouth.
Ghostface is the first of three guest characters announced for Mortal Kombat 1 as part of the Khaos Reigns expansion, which launched last month. The others–Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Conan The Barbarian and Robert Patrick’s T-1000–do not have a confirmed release date as of this writing, while series veterans Cyrax, Sektor, and Noob Saibot joined the roster at the expansion’s launch.
Mortal Kombat 1 is available now for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC. The Khaos Reigns expansion is available both as a standalone expansion for $50 and as a bundle with the base Mortal Kombat 1 game for $90. The base game, expansion, and the bundle are currently discounted on Steam, while physical editions for console are also discounted on Amazon.
