Mortal Kombat 1 Update Adds New Kameo Fighter and More

The latest Mortal Kombat 1 update adds Mavado to the roster of Kameo fighters and fixes several issues with the game experience and the moves of some fighters. Mavado joins Mortal Kombat 1 shortly after Ermac. Both fighters are available to players who own Kombat Pack 1 or the game's Premium Edition, but it's also possible to purchase them separately.

Kameos are fighters with their own moveset, fatalities, and brutalities that support the main fighter but cannot be chosen as the protagonist of a fight.

Nintendo Switch players can expect some visual adjustments, such as one that hid Kung Lao's hat in some cinematics. Some characters, like Sub Zero, received corrections. The ninja had a bug when using Ice Slide, but not anymore. Kameo fighter Sonya Blade got a nerf to her Energy Rings ability, which now has a slightly longer cooldown.

Mavado is the fourth of the five Kameo fighters from Kombat Pack 1 to be
