Ermac is the latest addition to Kombat Pack 1, the DLC coming to Mortal Kombat 11. Ermac has always been portrayed as a villain in various Mortal Kombat timelines. However, in Mortal Kombat 11, Ermac undergoes a surprising face turn. He now inhabits the body of King Jerrod, the husband of Sindel and father of Mileena and Kitana. His body has become a vessel for millions of souls, each vying for control. Created by Quan Chi’s dark magic, Ermac in the original timeline is a collection of souls of deceased warriors. In the New Timeline, King Jerrod’s soul dominates as it is his body. When Kombat Pack was first revealed, there was a huge outcry due to his lack of the iconic mask. However, he received a redesign, and the mask is now back. Additionally, he appears thinner this time around, in contrast to his previous, more muscular incarnations.

One funny revelation on his trailer is the mention that one of Ermac’s souls is a suitor of Madam Bo. Excluding  his latest incarnation, Here is Ermac’s evolution through out the Mortal Kombat franchise.

Ermac isn’t alone in the limelight this time around. Joining him in the trailer is none other than Mavado, a character from Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance, making a triumphant return as a cameo character. The latest installment, The Last Mortal Kombat Trilogy, pays homage to the beloved characters of the 2D era, but this time, it’s the 3D era characters who are basking in the spotlight. Mavado may only be making a cameo appearance in this game, but fans can rejoice knowing that he’s still capable of executing fatalities.

Mark your calendars for April 16th, when Ermac and Mavado will make their debut. And while Takeda and Homelander are the final characters slated for release in Kombat Pack 1, anticipation brews for the announcement of Kombat Pack 2. Stay tuned for more updates!
