If you were wondering just when we’d finally get footage of Jean-Claude Van Damme doing what he does best in Mortal Kombat 1, wonder no more. NetherRealm has released a new trailer providing a preview of Van Damme’s likeness and voice in the game as a character skin for Johnny Cage.
It’s a bit surreal seeing Van Damme decked out in his (altered) Bloodsport gear doing Johnny Cage mannerisms before facing off against the character that was inspired by The Muscles from Brussels himself. But you have to admit that it’s also so frickin’ cool.
And yes, just in case you were also wondering, we do get Van Damme doing the famous Split Punch on Johnny Cage. Van Damme’s likeness also adds a bit of hilarity to Cage’s Fatality. Vroom-vroom, indeed.
Van Damme joins Megan Fox in Mortal Kombat 1, who was revealed earlier this week as the voice and likeness for Nitara.
The Jean-Claude Van Damme skin for Johnny Cage (available at launch) is part of the Kombat Pack, alongside early access to six new downloadable content (DLC) playable characters – Quan Chi, Ermac, Takeda Takahashi, Peacemaker, Omni-Man, and Homelander (which are all available post-launch) – and five new Kameo Fighters (available post-launch). The Kombat Pack is available as part of the Mortal Kombat 1 Premium Edition and Kollector’s Edition, which can be pre-ordered now.
Mortal Kombat 1 arrives on September 19 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.
