Mortal Kombat 1 is constantly growing its roster of characters, and the latest update on Switch and numerous other platforms adds Janet Cage.
Cage joins the battle as a Kameo Fighter, meaning you don’t directly control the character. Instead, it’s like you invite them into fights with button presses and combos, and they do their thing from there. They may also be called upon to deliver the finishing blow.
Apart from this, the latest Mortal Kombat 1 update comes with a bunch of other updates (including some “Nintendo Switch specific” fixes related to visuals). You can get the full preview below, courtesy of the official Mortal Kombat site:
