In Mortal Kombat 1, the developers presented a new vision for characters familiar to many. A fresh take on character designs has by no means always received widespread acclaim in the community.
The recent reveal of Cyrax and Sektor sparked a wave of outrage — in Mortal Kombat 1, they are now women. At the same time, the characters' designs are very similar, which also fuels the community's discontent.
It does not look like the NetherRealm Studios team intends to redesign the fighters. A full gameplay and story trailer for Cyrax in MK1 Khaos Reigns is expected to be revealed on Thursday (August 15), and in the meantime, they have released a short clip showing gameplay of the character.
