After raw footage of the game leaked on social media–including the remaining members of the roster–NetherRealm Studios has elected to get ahead of it and confirm Nitara for Mortal Kombat 1‘s playable roster. However, there’s one extra twist: Megan Fox will be portraying the Outworld vampiress.
NetherRealm released a new trailer for the game both revealing the Jennifer’s Body star as Nitara, as well as the first in-game footage of the character in action. She looks to lean heavily into her vampiric repertoire, as she uses her fangs, claws, and wings to give herself an edge in battle.
Megan Fox is the latest Hollywood name to join the Mortal Kombat ranks, with Ronda Rousey, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, and Peter Weller all featuring in Mortal Kombat 11. She will also join Jean-Claude Van-Damme, Antony Starr, and J.K. Simmons in MK1, as the trio have been confirmed as downloadable content included in the first Kombat Pack.
The new trailer comes on the heels of a massive leak on Reddit earlier this week, where off-camera footage of the Nintendo Switch version of the game was posted along with screenshots of the full playable roster screen. There is one more character from that roster who has yet to be officially revealed, though they have appeared in a few places since the game was revealed back in May.
Mortal Kombat 1 will launch September 19 for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Those who preorder the deluxe editions will get five days early access to the game beginning September 14.
