Mortal Kombat 1: Final Year 1 DLC Character Takeda Gameplay Trailer Released

Takeda Takahashi: A Powerful New Warrior

Takeda Takahashi, the enigmatic student of Shirai Ryu leaders Hanzo Hasashi and Kenshi, is the final Year 1 DLC character for Mortal Kombat 1. From July 23, Premium Edition or Kombat Pack 1 owners will have exclusive access to this formidable fighter, while others can purchase him separately.

Gameplay Trailer Unveils Takeda's Abilities

The gameplay trailer released by Mortal Kombat 1 developer NetherRealm showcases Takeda's unique abilities. Armed with razor-sharp claws and a telekinetic staff, he combines agility and precision in combat. The trailer also features references to the Kombat Kids, a group of young warriors who do not appear in Mortal Kombat 1's timeline apart from Takeda.

A Fitting Conclusion to Year 1 DLC

While some may view Takeda's inclusion as an anticlimactic end to the Kombat Pack, others will undoubtedly appreciate the addition of this formidable character. NetherRealm's attention to detail in Takeda's design and gameplay, coupled with his ties to the Mortal Kombat lore, make him a worthy addition to the roster.
