The highly anticipated trailer for Mortal Kombat 1 (MK1) has provided fans with an exciting revelation – the return of Geras as a playable character. Previously, Geras had served as one of the primary antagonists in Mortal Kombat 11, but in the newly rebooted universe, he resurfaces as a crucial ally to Liu Kang, the protagonist and fresh-faced god figure. The captivating ‘Keepers of Time’ trailer showcases Geras’ reintroduction into the fold.
Geras, once again, assumes the role of the keeper of The Hourglass, a powerful artifact that holds dominion over time and destiny across the realm. Possessing all-seeing knowledge, Geras suggests that the peaceful world Liu Kang has fought tirelessly to establish has been compromised. This revelation sets the stage for an epic battle to preserve the sanctity of time and space.
The trailer offers a glimpse into Geras’ formidable combat abilities, reaffirming his reputation as a hard-hitting brute. His combat style, reminiscent of Mortal Kombat 1, remains dominant and unchanged.

The generated damage is accumulated and dealt as soon as they break free from the icy grip of his powers.
