We are days away from the official launch of Mortal Kombat 1 and NetherRealm Studios has released the game’s official launch trailer. What fans of the franchise will find interesting is that the launch trailer showcased Reiko and Shang Tsung’s gameplay. Both will be Kombatants or playable characters in the upcoming game.
Shang Tsung will come as a perk to those who purchased the Premium or Kollector Edition of the game. Tsung will retain his shapeshifting ability in Mortal Kombat 1. This magic ability allows him to change into any character including his opponent and copy their moves.
One of the reveals of the Mortal Kombat 1 launch trailer that got fans excited was Tsung’s so-called ‘Alien Fatality’. In the fatality, the evil sorcerer pins the defeated opponent on the slaughter table, dissects them vertically, and pours a green gooey into the gaping scar.

Tsung then stands back and watches a serpent-like creature emerge from the scar and devour the opponent. Reiko’s fatality is no less horrific. The second-in-command to Tsung will drive a spear into the chest of the opponent, break it into two, and knock down the opponent with the broken half in his hand before driving it into the back of their skull.
