Mavado, the high-ranking commander of the ancient Red Dragon clan, is set to join Mortal Kombat 1 as the next DLC Kameo fighter. Known for his ruthless demeanor and deadly combat skills, Mavado’s addition brings a new dynamic to the game’s roster. He is scheduled to be released on May 7, offering players the opportunity to summon him into matches and utilize his unique abilities.
In the original Mortal Kombat timeline, Mavado played a prominent role as a leading member of the Red Dragon crime syndicate. His quest to eliminate the renegade Black Dragon clan led him into alliances with formidable foes like Shang Tsung. Mavado’s involvement extended to the climactic battle of Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, where he fought alongside Shinnok and the Forces of Darkness against the heroes of the old Mortal Kombat timeline.
While Mavado did not appear in NetherRealm’s rebooted Mortal Kombat trilogy, he remained a significant figure in the franchise’s lore. The tie-in prequel comics for Mortal Kombat 10 depicted him as a formidable leader of the Red Dragon clan, maintaining his pursuit of the Black Dragons until his demise at the hands of Cassie Cage.
Although the Red Dragon clan has yet to be mentioned in Mortal Kombat 1’s rebooted timeline, Mavado’s inclusion as a DLC Kameo fighter offers fans an exciting glimpse into the franchise’s rich history. With his release on May 7, players can expect to experience Mavado’s deadly combat prowess firsthand and discover new strategies to dominate their opponents.
Additionally, Mortal Kombat 1 fans have more to look forward to, as The Boys villain Homelander is slated to join the main roster as a guest fighter later this spring, adding even more excitement and diversity to the game’s lineup.
