T-1000 Terminator coming in Mortal Kombat 1 Pro Kompetition

A new trailer for Mortal Kombat 1 Pro Kompetition Season 2 was released. It includes highlights from past events and a new look at upcoming guest fighters Conan the Barbarian and T-1000 Terminator. Conan the Barbarian will be released on Jan. 21 as part of the early access period for Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns Expansion owners, followed by wide availability on Jan. 28.

Featuring the likeness of actor Arnold Schwarzenegger in the role of the title character, the towering warrior from the Conan the Barbarian (1982) film will be available for use during tournament play when Season 2 begins. The official Conan the Barbarian gameplay trailer will debut on tomorrow’s Kombat Kast, giving fans a deeper dive into this powerful fighter. Release timing and availability for T-1000 Terminator will be announced at a later date.

Mortal Kombat 1 Pro Kompetition – Season 2 Trailer (feat T-1000 First Look)

Let Season 2 of Pro Kompetition begin! Prove your inner warrior and join us in Season 2 for 10 electrifying offline events, online showdowns from across the globe, and $255,000 up for grabs. Toss your name into the arena: https://start.gg/ProKompetition Let us know what you think of the first look at Robert Patrick as T-1000!

Where will the in-person events be?

The road to the Final Kombat World Championship will have four different paths. There will be 10 in-person events, each with 1 vs. 1 double-elimination brackets where players can earn points towards their global leaderboard ranking. The top eight players with the most leaderboard points from in-person events will earn a spot in Final Kombat.

Mortal Kombat 1 Pro Kompetition in-person events include:
  • Pro Kompetition Mexico – Mexico City, Mex. (Feb. 22-23)
  • Viennality – Vienna, Austria (March 1-2)
  • Texas Showdown – Houston, Texas (March 28-30)
  • gamescom latam – São Paulo, Brazil (May 1-4)
  • Combo Breaker – Chicago, Ill. (May 23-25)
  • CEO Fighting Game Championships – Orlando, Fla. (June 13-15)
  • Brussels Challenge – Brussels, Belgium (Spring/Summer 2025)
  • Evo 2025 – Las Vegas, Nev. (Aug. 1-3)
  • Blink Respawn – Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic (Summer 2025)
  • VSFighting – Birmingham, U.K. (Summer/Fall 2025)

The winner of the Pro Kompetition event at Evo will also automatically qualify for a spot in Final Kombat.

Additionally, players can kompete in online Pro Kompetition tournaments based on their location, with divisions and sub-divisions broken out by geographic region, including the North American League (North America East and North America West), InterKontinental Kombat (Europe East, Europe West, Oceanic, and Middle East), and Liga Latina (Brazil, Mexico, South America North, and South America South).

Each regional division will have two online qualifier events and one online regional final, with 10 online players earning a spot in Final Kombat—two winners from the North American League, four winners from InterKontinental Kombat, and four winners from Liga Latina. Please note that participation in online tournaments will not award points towards the global leaderboard. Players must participate in any of the 10 in-person events to add points to their leaderboard ranking.

What is the format of Final Kombat?

The remaining finals spot will be awarded to the winner of the Last Chance Qualifier (LCQ) event, an open in-person tournament held at the Final Kombat location. The winner of the LCQ will round out the 20-player field competing in Final Kombat.

All 20 players kompeting in Final Kombat will be split into four groups of five players and kompete in a round-robin format. The top two players from each group, eight total, will advance to the final bracket and kompete in a double-elimination format, with all players starting from the winner’s side. The winner of the final bracket will become the Final Kombat World Champion. Exact timing and location for Final Kombat will be confirmed at a later date.

The Pro Kompetition will allow fans to experience all of the high-level match-ups and heated battles with more than 100 hours of live kompetition over 20 days, which can be viewed at Twitch.tv/NetherRealm, YouTube.com/MortalKombat, and Facebook.com/MortalKombat.

Pro Kompetition participants will have an opportunity to kompete in tournament matches with characters from Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns, the recent expansion for Mortal Kombat 1, the latest installment in the acclaimed videogame franchise developed by award-winning NetherRealm Studios.

Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns is available now digitally for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, the Nintendo Switch, and PC (Steam and Epic Games Store), including a story expansion with playable fighters Cyrax, Sektor, Noob Saibot, Ghostface, Conan the Barbarian (available beginning Jan. 21), and T-1000 Terminator (release date to be announced).
