Additionally, NetherRealm Studios also announced a free trial of the game will be available from Mar. 7-10. Cena portrayed the character in the 2021 blockbuster, The Suicide Squad, and he later reprised the role in the hit live-action spinoff series, Peacemaker.
Peacemaker, aka Christopher Smith, cherishes peace with all his heart, and he’s willing to do whatever it takes to get it. He’s now ready to challenge Liu Kang’s New Era of peace, along with his formidable moveset, using expert gunslinging skills, his signature helmet abilities, and of course, his loyal bald eagle sidekick, Eagly. The game even incorporates his dance moves and brash humor from the show.
The new gameplay trailer also provides a first look at Janet Cage, a new DLC Kameo Fighter and alternate reality version of Johnny Cage. She can assist during matches and provide a wide range of support moves. Janet Cage will be available as part of the Kombat Pack or a standalone purchase starting in March.
