Omni-Man, despite his immense power, is not exempt from information leaks. Following the unveiling of his debut trailer at New York Comic-Con, the Invincible villain is slated to join the Mortal Kombat 1 roster on November 6, as indicated by the Xbox Store. While the New York Comic-Con announcement established a November 2023 release window for the character, the Xbox Store's description for Mortal Kombat 1 has specified the date further. A message displayed above the Kombat Pack button states, "Purchase the Mortal Kombat 1 Kombat Pack now and prepare for an early release of Omni-Man on 11/6."
The Xbox listing in question highlights the continued involvement of J.K. Simmons, known for his portrayal of Cave Johnson in Portal 2 and other notable characters, as the voice actor for Omni-Man in Mortal Kombat 1. This version of Omni-Man retains his aggressive fighting style seen in the comic and the first season of the Amazon Prime show, with his two Fatalities showcased in the NYCC reveal trailer.
Xbox's announcement precedes the Xbox Partner Preview livestream, set to commence at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET today. Among the anticipated games to be featured during this event are Alan Wake 2, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, Ark: Survival Ascended, and more.
Mortal Kombat 1 and the Kombat Pass are now accessible on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Additionally, the Kombat Pass features renowned characters such as Homelander from The Boys, Peacemaker from DC Comics, as well as MK veterans Quan Chi, Ermac, and Takeda.
