Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate arrives tomorrow along with the DLC characters for Kombat Pack 2, which means we are just a day away from the first-ever Mortal Kombat game that pits Rambo against the Terminator. Finally, after almost forty years, the prophecy will be fulfilled.
Okay, there’s actually no prophecy that said there’d be a video game made in the 21st century that has Rambo and the Terminator fight to the death, but we’re pretty sure a bunch of folks over at NetherRealm Studios has been eagerly awaiting the day when they’d be able to fulfill their childhood fantasies.
Case in point, NetherRealm put out two new trailers for MK11 Ultimate. They really didn’t need to; we already know who’s coming and have a pretty good idea of what they can do. And one-half of both trailers features a character that’s already been in the game a while.
Both trailers are basically ultra-gore fan fiction of who would win in a fight. NetherRealm doesn’t pick sides in this showdown, so they offer up two trailers where you get to choose who wins.
First up, we have Terminator versus Rambo. In this trailer, Rambo seems to be surprisingly unfazed by the fact he’s being hunted by a time-traveling robot, making this an alternate universe where Rambo somehow saves humanity from extinction. Or at least he would if the Terminator didn’t brutally murder him by first running him down with a Harley Davidson and then blowing him apart with a sawed-off shotgun.
Next, it’s Rambo versus Terminator. Time time, Rambo appears dismayed to learn that the future is ruled by robots that hunt down and exterminate humans. Just as with the first trailer, both sides trade fatal blows that would normally lead to a character's loss, but somehow Rambo manages to ignore this game mechanic and perform his second fatality.
Instead of Terminator falling into one of Rambo's dastardly traps, he just wraps him in a belt of 7.65mm ammunition, pushes him into an electrified box spring, cooks off the aforementioned ammo belt which literally cuts Terminator in half, and then stabs Terminator through the jaw and pulls his billy knife free, cleaving Terminator's skull in twain.
MK11 Ultimate and Kombat Pack 2 arrive tomorrow, November 17.
