Summary
A PC mod has added character skins of some of Pixar’s most adored characters into the brutal and bloody world ofMortal Kombat 1. Having launched back in September 2023,Mortal Kombat 1is a soft reboot of the iconic fighting series that sees Fire God Liu Kang create an all-new universe. Nominated for Best Fighting Game at the 2023 Game Awards,Mortal Kombat 1ultimately lost out to its rival, Capcom’sStreet Fighter 6,which launched earlier in 2023 to critical acclaim.
Since launch,Mortal Kombat 1has already released two DLC characters: franchise villain Quan-Chi and a crossover with Omni-Man from Amazon’s hit animated seriesInvincible.Mortal Kombat 1still has several other interesting characters lined up as well, such asHomelander fromThe Boys, DC’s Peacemaker, as well asMortal Kombatcharacters Ermac and Takeda. Most recently, the second post-launch Kameo fighter Khameleon has gone live in the game as well.
It seems all thesenew characters joiningMortal Kombat 1aren’t enough for some, as a hilarious mod has been created which brings some of Disney Pixar’s most beloved characters into the fighting game. On Twitter, iScreamFGC pointed to a short clip of the mod in action, which sees Woody fromToy Storysquaring up against the champion of the Scare Floor, James P. Sullivan fromMonsters, Inc.Fittingly, Woody and his cowboy hat were mapped to Kung Lao, and Sully took the moves of one of Outworld’s fiercest warriors, Reiko. Woody’s good pal Jessie also made an appearance as his Kameo partner before Woody pulled off a brutal fatality on Sully, tearing him in two.
The creator of the mod, Gee Lambo,has a YouTube channelwhere they showcase the myriad of mods they’ve made forMortal Kombat 1. Several other Pixar characters have made appearances on the channel in the form of mods, like Carl and Russel fromUpand Fear fromInside Out.Memorable Dreamworks characters like Shrek, Megamind, and Po fromKung Fu Pandashow face as well. Gee Lambo also creates mods for other games, as they’ve replaced Cal Kestis with Fry fromFuturamainStar Wars Jedi: Survivor. Additionally, they’ve uploaded helpful PC settings guides for games likeCyberpunk 2077andUbisoft’s recentAvatar: Frontiers of Pandora,and have several mod tutorials for fans of these games on PC to utilize.
For those who don’t use PC mods, there’s still much to look forward to withMortal Kombat 1, as it’ll be releasing even more official DLC characters throughout the next several months. Next up isPeacemaker from DC’s Max seriesof the same name, set to join theMK1roster on February 20. Ermac, Homelander, and Takeda will follow suit later in the year as the summer approaches.
