Mortal Kombat-1‘s upcoming expansion Khaos rules will feature a reimagined Sektor, thanks to Fire God Liu Kang’s meddling in the timeline. She’s still a Lin Kuei devotee and now very close to Sub-Zero, but less of a classic cyborg and more of an armor-clad warrior. And as Sektor’s first gameplay trailer reveals, she’s basically Iron Man, only much more sadistic, in the way Mortal Kombat characters often are.
That Iron Man influence is most noticeable in Sektor’s first Fatality, in which she literally launches her opponent Ermac into space, freezes him, and then blasts him back down to Earth, where he burns to a crisp as he re-enters the atmosphere. Sektor and what’s left of Ermac land with a crater-shattering thud as she touches down.
In case there was any doubt that we’re dealing with an Iron Man-type character here, this MCU-esque HUD shot from Sektor’s Fatality goes a long way to clarifying where developer NetherRealm Studios gets some of its ideas from.
Tony Starking her enemies in a smoked paste isn’t Sektor’s only finishing move. Her recently revealed Animality sees her transform into a rhinoceros, then slash her opponent with its giant horn. This is a change from Sektor’s original Animality in Mortal Kombat-3in which the cyborg turned into a glowing bat and chopped off his opponent’s head. (Kabal turned into a rhinoceros by the way skeleton in MK3.)
NetherRealm’s Khaos rules expansion comes to Mortal Kombat-1 on September 24th. That DLC will include Cyrax, Sektor, and Noob Saibot on day one. Three more characters — Scream‘s Ghostface, Conan the Barbarian, and Terminator-2‘s T-1000 — will be released later.
The Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns expansion costs $49.99 on PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X. The Nintendo Switch version costs $39.99.
