A new Mortal Kombat 1 trailer has been released, and in turn it has confirmed a brand new playable fighter: Geras. Geras is the first new character introduced in Mortal Kombat 11 to be confirmed for MK1, and could very well be the only new character from MK11 in the new installment. Whatever the case, joining Geras in the new trailer is a mystery character who appears to potentially be a brand new character being introduced with the reboot.

Unfortunately, the official Mortal Kombat 1 website has not updated with Geras' character information, so all we have to go by is what is in the trailer. The trailer also revealed a few new fatalities for a various characters, including Geras. And as noted, there is also a mystery character that nobody can figure out the identify of.

At first, many didn't think much of the mystery character that can be seen below, writing him off as a random background character. However, creative director on the game Ed Boon then tweeted out about the character, all but confirming they aren't so random.
