Mortal Kombat 1: Chaos Reigns is the first major update to come MK1and some players are THRILLED that two popular characters have changed genders and of them are black.
In Mortal Kombat 1thanks to the efforts of Fire God Lui Kang, the sacred timeline was restored, ushering in a new era of peace and making some changes to the characters we know from previous games.
In the latest trailer delivered by NetherRealm Studios, we see what's specific with the two popular online ninjas, Cyrax and Sektor.
The first trailer since the expansion was announced at San Diego Comic-Con follows Cyrax, one of six new playable characters joining the already expansive roster of fighters.
This version of Cyrax is a black woman. She is a young Lin Kuei warrior from the Zaki clan whose skills are second to none, earning the honor of donning a cyber suit. He also has the honor of serving directly under Sektor, who has this time switched genders.
Unlike Sektor, Cyrax serves the Lin Kuei and her grandmaster, Sub-Zero, on her own terms, which does not sit well with her mentor.
While giving us her backstory, the trailer also shows off Cyrax's impressive movement, fatality, and animality, and should be welcomed as another trailer to get us excited for Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reign's extension, right?
Wrong.
Of course, some people are put off by the fact that both Cyrax and Sektor are no longer male. One person in particular took to X, formerly Twitter, to complain about Cyrax showing her face and being Black.
This isn't the first time Cyrax has been black
Hilariously, guys, we're quick to remind him that another version of Cyrax took off the mask, revealing himself as black GASP.
There is even a website calling the decision a “disaster” and arguing that the Montreal headquarters sweet baby inc consulting studio was behind the decision to change Cyrax and Sektor Mortal Kombat 1.
These people seriously need to get out and touch the grass.
Social media is clowning people who are crazy about Cyrax and Sektor's changes. you can see those reactions in the gallery below.
