Buff time wizard Geras joins the Mortal Kombat 1 roster

The newest trailer for Mortal Kombat 1 reveals its latest challenger: Geras. If you’re unfamiliar, he’s the keeper of the hourglass of time who debuted in Mortal Kombat 11, and given that Mortal Kombat 1 is all about timeline shenanigans it makes sense he’d appear to tidy things up. (By punching them.)

Geras seems to have brought back his Temporal Advantage ability, which lets him freeze an opponent in time and then hit them in the butt (or wherever). He’s got a whole raft of time-themed attacks, but some sand-related ones as well, including a fatality that involves holding his opponent’s face against the edge of a whirling sandstorm to angle-grind them down to the bone.
