We got a taste of Homelander & Ferra earlier this month, but at long last Mortal Kombat 1 can officially show-off its latest Kombat Pack characters with a full gameplay trailer! The crossover guest and diminutive death-dealer are combining to make a formidable pair. Watch:
Homelander is a brutal, fascist parody of Superman and his ilk, taken from the superhero funhouse world of The Boys: a 2006 comic book created by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, and popularly adapted to live-action for Amazon Prime in 2019. The Mortal Kombat version isn't voiced by Antony Starr, but there are still plenty of references from the streaming TV version.
For the MK die hards, Ferra brings wild & chaotic energy to fights as a nimble assist who can be used as a weapon, leaping from the player's back to do damage to the opposing fighters. She comes from Mortal Kombat X, substituting your chosen character for her symbiotic partner Torr.
Homelander is officially released to downloadable content on Tuesday, 4th of June -- available to everyone who already has The Kombat Pack. Ferra will join the roster later next month, leaving only Takeda to be released. Chief Creative Officer Ed Boon has already confirmed there will be more beyond that, including more story content.
