The full roster of Mortal Kombat 1 has been unveiled, showcasing characters from the base roster, Kameo Fighters, and the Kombat Pack. While the game's teasers have shown 3D models based on their 2D counterparts, the official voice cast for the game has remained under wraps until now. This has left fans eagerly anticipating whether their favorite characters will sound as authentic in the new installment.

When questioned about what fans can expect from Omni-Man's gameplay, Ed Boon remained tight-lipped on specifics but assured that gameplay videos and 'hype' videos will be released as the game approaches its launch date on September 19, 2023. These previews will undoubtedly amplify the excitement surrounding Omni-Man's arrival in the game.
