After a lengthy period of server downtime, Mortal Kombat 1’s big new Khaos Reigns expansion is out now. While the headline new feature is the addition of paid story content, existing MK1 users will also benefit from a selection of free content. In addition to balance changes, stability improvements and bug fixes, the MK1 update brings Animalities back to the series for the first time since the 1990s. These unique finishing moves see characters transform into animals, before violently tearing opponents apart. To help you deliver these gory new finishing moves to foes, we’ve put together a list of the new Animalities and which inputs to insert in order to perform them.
If you want to pick up the Khaos Reigns expansion for less than the official £40 asking price, then you can purchase a £40 PlayStation Store card for just £35.99 from CD Keys.
