The recent unveiling of the Geras character trailer for Mortal Kombat 1 provides players with a comprehensive look at the game’s immortal character and his intricate storyline. Geras, a formidable servant of Kronika, the Keeper of Time and Architect of the Universe’s destiny, is prominently featured in the latest trailer for the highly anticipated fighting game.
In the game, Geras exhibits god-like strength and the unique ability to manipulate the sands of time. A significant feature of this character is his ability to recover from fatal injuries due to his status as a “fixed point in time.” This trait has allowed him to come back stronger and wiser after each death, with thousands of rebirths to his credit.
Geras is not only a powerful character but also an observer and scholar of time. With an immeasurable lifespan and the ability to witness various timelines, he has gathered a vast knowledge of events, cultures, and inhabitants of the realms, utilizing this knowledge in his service to Kronika.
The trailer includes a conversation between Geras and Lord Liu Kang, with Geras acknowledging that duty is his highest calling. As the guardian of the hourglass, a celestial object beyond the realms that regulates time and destiny, he plays a pivotal role in the game’s narrative. This is evident in the trailer, where Geras is seen overseeing the hourglass and being acknowledged as Earth realm’s protector.
The conversation further reveals Geras’ caution towards Liu Kang’s reshaping of history and potential compromise of his vision of peace, providing a glimpse into the complexities of the upcoming game’s storyline.
The release date for Mortal Kombat 1 is scheduled for September 19, 2023. NetherRealm confirmed an early access period starting on September 14 for those who purchase the Premium or Kollector’s Edition of the game. Additionally, a closed beta in August will be accessible for all pre-order customers.
The game will be available on various platforms, including PC, PS5, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch, thus ensuring a wide range of players can partake in the new Mortal Kombat experience.
