Peacemaker in MK 1 has been hotly anticipated for quite a while now. While series like Tekken have released new installments, MK fans have been patiently waiting for the next DLC character to come to the game. Finally, we’ve got a release date for the character! It appears we’ll start to see Peacemaker in MK 1 early access by February.

The latest character in the Mortal Kombat roster has been teased since release, but they’ve taken a little while to actually arrive. Getting more characters is always a boost, especially to some of the best fighting games like MK 1. This new character hasn’t been fully revealed yet, however, but we do know a bit more about when they’re getting released.

Peacemaker MK 1 Early Access Begins in February

The Peacemaker in MK 1 update was expected to arrive pretty soon, but there have been some delays in Mortal Kombat lately. It now seems early access for the character will begin on Feb. 29. This will give players a short while to test them out before they get added to the game. While early access starts then, we probably won’t see them legal in tournaments like the Mortal Kombat Pro Kompetition for a little longer still.

This latest update to Mortal Kombat is an exciting expansion for the game. Along with a new invasion season and upcoming balancing changes, some bigger changes are starting to arrive. Hopefully Peacemaker in MK 1 is worth the wait when they unlock fully.

Peacemaker Next DLC for MK

Mortal Kombat 1 is in the midst of getting its first round of DLC, focusing on super-powered characters from across other media. First, we saw Omni-Man in MK 1 get added, but our next fighter is coming up soon too. And it’s going to be Peacemaker in MK 1. We’ve just learned that this new release is going to be a bit more special too.

Fighting game crossover characters often do a great job of taking moves from their source material. Although, voices can be a different story. There are soundalikes, there are eerily silent characters, and it can get dicey. Even among the MK 1 DLC characters, there are some different picks for voice actors. We’ve gotten confirmation that Peacemaker in MK 1 will be voiced by John Cena though.

John Cena voicing Peacemaker in MK 1

In an announcement from the Game Awards, it has been revealed that John Cena will be providing the voice (and likeness) for Peacemaker in Mortal Kombat 1. This is a nice detail to the character. Already in the first batch of DLC, we know that Homelander will have a different voice from the actor who portrays him in popular media. However, since there are comic book characters, it isn’t the strangest to see different actors. John Cena portraying Peacemaker in MK 1 will definitely please a lot of fans, though.

Peacemaker wasn’t the most prominent DC Comics character until a few years ago. The character’s inclusion, however, in the James Gunn-led TV Show and the Suicide Squad film has catapulted him to popularity. Given his design, we can expect the Mortal Kombat 1 version of the character to take heavy inspiration from these depictions. Getting Cena in to provide the voice helps to cement that. It also adds Mortal Kombat to his recent video game credits along with Fortnite and a weird Overwatch role.

Peacemaker in MK 1 is due to release in February 2024. It is just a short wait for our next character. The first, Omni-Man, has already proven popular with players. We don’t have too much to go off of for his moves in MK 1, but he already looks like a fun inclusion.
