Mortal Kombat 1may not have the same level of hype as it did a few months ago, as it keeps on losing players with peaks of barely 1,000 gamers, but one thing that will keep its relevance alive for a while longer is its collaborative nature. NetherRealm Studios’ latestMortal Kombatinstallment continues the tradition of the series collaborating with other pop culture franchises, which is an aspect that makes it stand out from the rest of the games in the fighting genre.
FromThe Boys‘ Homelander toInvincible‘s Omni-Man, it has had a fair share of brutal guest characters, but none of them are as unapologetically hilarious as the one and only Peacemaker.
Cena’s Peacemaker Perfectly Fits Into the World of Mortal Kombat 1
NetherRealm shared the Official Peacemaker GameplayTraileran hour ago, featuring the character’s debut inMortal Kombat 1in all its glory, as the footage kicks off with the iconic main theme from the hit HBO Max TV series. Fans will instantly recognize the familiar guitar riff, along with Cena reprising his role and owning the video game medium as well.
The very first interaction he has is with Liu Kang, who tells the DC guest that “this is no time to smile,” but of course, the response is just as witty as one might expect from someone like everyone’s favourite peace lover.

Cena’s character replies, “Hell yeah, it is,” stating that fighting a Fire God can finally be checked off his “bucket list.” Adding his own amusing flavor to the world ofMortal Kombat, it seems like the character’s core personality that made him so popular in the first place will be faithfully adapted into his gaming counterpart. That is definitely clear when he says “suck on that” and starts pretending to play a guitar solo even when faced with deadly circumstances.
When Is Peacemaker Coming to MK1?
Early Access players will get to play as Peacemaker by the end of this month on February 28, while everyone else will have to wait a week longer as the Full Release comes on March 6. After the DC character’s arrival in thegame, NetherRealm is also bringing Janet Cage into theMortal Kombat 1Kameo roster sometime next month.

It is important to note that Cena’s character is only included in thePremium Editionof the latestMortal Kombattitle, but for those who just have theStandard Edition, they can purchase the Kombat Pack to get the peace-loving maniac.
The new gameplay trailer shows the character using guns and bringing out his iconic eagle into the battles, along with other special attacks like the Sonic Boom and Torpedo. Absolutely devouring the Fire God with the DC character’s shield just looks oddly satisfying.

Ever since Osama was gifted the glorious PS2 more than two decades back, video games have formed a major part of his life, ranging from spending hours playing through every single Dragon Ball game he could find to witnessing the gaming industry evolve into something extraordinary in modern times. Building his collection of PlayStation consoles throughout the years all the way up until PS5, he prefers single-player experiences like The Last of Us and Persona, while also letting off steam on a daily basis with casual EA Sports FC matches. But the current rise in online multiplayer shooters will never really appeal to his old-school self.
