"Madam Bo, Feisty Old Lady, Joins Mortal Kombat 1 as New Kameo Fighter"

Mortal Kombat 1 has unveiled early footage of a new Kameo fighter coming to the game in March. Read on to find out more about Madam Bo and what she’s bringing to the game!

Mortal Kombat 1 Welcomes Madam Bo

Mortal Kombat 1 has just launched the official trailer for the newest Kameo fighter in its ranks, none other than Fengjian Teahouse’s owner, Madam Bo. She, along with the villainous guest character, T-1000 from the Terminator 2 film, will arrive on March 18th, 2025, as part of the Kombat Pack 2 and the Khaos Reigns expansion.

Prior to her debut as an assist character, Madam Bo was featured in Mortal Kombat 1’s story mode, where she was seemingly beaten by Lin Kuei assassin Smoke as punishment for not paying protection money. However, it was revealed that it was all just a ruse to get Raiden and Kung Lao ready for the tournament. Don’t let her appearance deceive you; Madam Bo is a formidable opponent, having been a former associate of the Lin Kuei faction and a skilled martial artist who mentored Raiden and Kung Lao.

The gameplay footage showcases Madam Bo fighting alongside her pupils, assisting them with powerful kicks and punches, complemented by smashing glass bottles and a unique finishing fatality that cleanly kicks the opponent’s head off their shoulders, then catches it perfectly on a tea tray.

T-1000 Makes Its Guest Debut

Alongside Madam Bo’s addition on March 18th comes the cold and cunning shapeshifting antagonist of Terminator 2: Judgment Day, T-1000. This advanced cybernetic killing machine, made of liquid metal, will debut in the Mortal Kombat franchise as a playable character, utilizing its shapeshifting powers to attack opponents with a sharp sword or a fully-armed machine gun.

Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns Expansion

Madam Bo and T-1000’s introductions as characters are part of the new Mortal Kombat 1 expansion and DLC, Khaos Reigns. The expansion introduces a new story campaign that extends Liu Kang’s New Era plot, offering an all-new cinematic experience. Players will discover how he rallies his champions against the ruthless Titan Havik, who threatens the world and the New Era as they know it.

The additional Kameo fighter pack, Kombat Pack 2, features several new characters, including both new additions and returning cast from previous titles. The Kombat Pack 2 DLC’s inclusions were spread out in release dates, starting with the comeback of Sektor, Noob Saibot, and Cyrax in September 2024. Their return was followed by the slasher film Scream’s Ghostface in November and most recently, Conan the Barbarian in January 2025. Madam Bo and Terminator 2’s T-1000 will be added to the roster later this month.
