NetherRealm Studios has revealed Ghostface’s full Animality for Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns. In this special finisher, Ghostface transforms into a vulture and attacks his opponent, Johnny Cage. The vulture gruesomely eats through Cage’s chest and tears out his spine.
Ghostface is the fifth character in the game to have an avian transformation. Other characters with similar motifs include Peacemaker as a gun-wielding eagle, Liu Kang as a Phoenix, Kitana as a hummingbird, and Homelander as a patriotic griffin. The input for Ghostface’s Animality is back, forward, down, 4.
Fans can look forward to playing as Ghostface when he releases as part of the Khaos Reigns expansion on November 19. Those wanting to purchase him individually will need to wait until November 26.

The Animality sequence starts around the 3:50 mark. Ghostface, the infamous masked killer from the Scream franchise, is the latest Mortal Kombat 1 roster addition. This update, part of the “Khaos Reigns” expansion, brings a fresh set of brutal moves to the game.
Ghostface’s special moves include two Fatalities: “Scream Ending” and “Masked Terror.” In “Scream Ending,” Ghostface delivers a series of slashes with his iconic knife, culminating in a dramatic final stab that petals a fountain of blood.
