Guest Fighter Origins and Release

Ghostface has been added to Mortal Kombat 1 following the recent DLC expansions, continuing the pattern of horror villains as guest fighters. The masked antagonist was first revealed during San Diego Comic-Con 2024 and has been a subject of excitement and rumours among the fanbase. Now, fans know they can dive into the character's chilling moveset starting November 19 for early access and November 26 for all players.

Teaser Trailer Breakdown

Ghostface’s trailer begins with a chilling nod to Scream’s iconic “Do you like scary movies?” line, voiced by Roger L. Jackson, before showcasing the killer stalking an unknowing Johnny Cage. Fans also got glimpses of Ghostface’s alternate masks, an exciting addition for those eager to customise the killer’s look.

Kombat Pack 2 and Other Characters

Ghostface heads the list for Kombat Pack 2, after the series of DLC characters Oni-Man, Homelander, and Peacemaker. Along with the return of fan favourites like Cyrax, Sektor, and Noob Saibot, Ghostface's arrival further bolsters Mortal Kombat's enlargement of its new universe. The killer's moveset and a possible Animality is yet to be known. That adds to the curiosity surrounding his gameplay debut.

Ghostface in Other Games

This is far from Ghostface's debut in gaming. In 2019, he cut his way into Dead by Daylight. In May, he reemerged as a Call of Duty operator and joined Hunt: Showdown earlier this year. Ghostface's history in gaming, combined with his iconic horror status, makes him the perfect fit for Mortal Kombat's gore-drenched battlefields.
