Don't watch the new trailer for Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns unless you don't mind blood and gore. You won't even be able to count the number of heads ripped off and spurting blood, or bodies torn in half with guts a-flying. But this is Mortal Kombat, not Animal Crossing, so fans are ready for it. And they should also get ready for some familiar cinematic faces, including Ghostface from the Scream movie series, Conan the Barbarian, and the T-1000 from Terminator 2: Judgment Day.
Robert Patrick, who played the T-1000, supplied his likeness and voice for the Mortal Kombat version of his creepy, liquid-metal, shape-shifting character, and Arnold Schwarzenegger's likeness was used for Conan.

Games said in a press release. "When a perilous threat arrives from an alternate timeline, led by the ruthless Titan Havik whose sole mission is to throw the realms into khaos, Liu Kang must rally his champions and put faith in his enemies to defeat this grave danger. If they fail, the New Era will be reduced to anarchy."
