Amazon Italy has added Mortal Kombat 1 - Premium Edition to its storefront for 109.99€, which comes with the first Kombat Pack. Unlike other retailers, however, it details what that includes, revealing that the six playable characters are Quan Chi, Omni Man, Ermac, Peacemaker, Takeda, and Homelander. It also breaks down the Kameo characters, who are Johnny Cage, Khameleon, Mavado, Ferra, and the Jean Claude Van Damme skin for JC.Interestingly, the official Mortal Kombat 1 website confirmed Johnny Cage is a playable character in the main roster, and we know that Kameos are separate. How they'll work and what exactly they are isn't clear - it's believed that they might be AI fighters who assist us in battle, meaning that we could employ JC's help when we aren't playing as him. That does mean it's unlikely Khameleon, Mavado, and Ferra will be included in the main roster, however.As for the six DLC characters, half are from Mortal Kombat and the other half are guest appearances, all from comics. Peacemaker is a DC villain who we saw in both James Gunn's The Suicide Squad and his own namesake show, while Omni-Man is the Superman parody played by J. K. Simmons in Invincible, and Homelander is another Superman parody played by Antony Starr in The Boys.
If you've seen Invincible and The Boys, you'll know that the two are brutal, a perfect fit for the Mortal Kombat universe. Ermac meanwhile is a fan-favourite MK character who many have been asking about since even before yesterday's trailer, though right after, some fans went as far as to Photoshop Scorpion to make him look like the undead fusion of souls.
Then we have Kenshi's son Takeda, one of the MKX kids. In the tenth game, legacy characters were introduced and quickly became staples - we had Sonya and JC's kid, Cassie, as well as Kung Lao's nephew Kung Jin, and Jax's daughter Jacqui. Whether we'll see the other not-Teen-Titans remains a mystery, but the Takeda fans who have been asking for his return can rest easy. Although, you'll have to pay a little extra to get your hands on him.
Mortal Kombat 1 launches on September 19, and you can pre-order both it and the Premium Edition right now. When the Kombat Pack will launch isn't known.
