Vought International’s superman and breast milk enthusiast, Homelander, is coming to Mortal Kombat 1 on June 4. In his first gameplay trailer, we see some familiar scenes from The Boys. Homelander uses his eye lasers to slice his enemies, like Sub-Zero, in half and throws Liu Kang through a jet engine, sending airline passengers to their deaths.
Mortal Kombat 1’s version of Homelander looks true to the character played by Antony Starr in The Boys (though Starr isn’t voicing him in this DLC).
We see Homelander perform some of his signature moves, like a powerful ear clap and launching his opponent into the upper atmosphere. Similar to another character, Omni-Man, Homelander can hover, fly, and attack with super speed during his fights.
Mortal Kombat 1 Homelander Gameplay Trailer
In Homelander’s first gameplay, he’s paired with Ferra, a new Kameo Fighter. Mortal Kombat fans will remember Ferra as Torr’s partner from Mortal Kombat X.
She acts the same way, helping in fights and being used as a projectile. We see two of Homelander’s Fatalities and one of Ferra’s, where she splits her enemy in half.
Homelander joins the #MortalKombat1 roster on June 4, Ferra Kameo joins later in June. Check out their game-play here!https://t.co/QIjuLCEPWe

Homelander and Ferra are part of MK1’s Kombat Pack add-on. This pack also includes characters like Quan Chi, DC’s Peacemaker, Invincible’s Omni-Man, and Ermac. The last character, Takeda Takahashi, will be added this summer. The Kombat Pack also has five Kameo Fighters: Tremor, Ferra, Janet Cage, Khameleon, and Mavado.
The Kombat Pack costs $15.99 and is on sale until Sunday. It’s also included in the Premium Edition of the game, which costs $109.99.
New DLC Kameo Fighter Ferra Introduced
Mortal Kombat 1’s next superpowered guest fighter is Homelander from The Boys. In a new gameplay trailer, he shows off his powerful moves. Homelander will be available for Kombat Pack owners on June 4 and for everyone else on June 11.
Homelander, the patriotic and crazy leader of The Seven, defeats his enemies with a fighting style similar to Superman’s in the Injustice series. The trailer also introduces Ferra, a new DLC Kameo fighter. Ferra, the small and wild partner from the Ferra & Torr team in Mortal Kombat X, will join the game in June.
Homelander will be part of the Year 1 DLC roster, along with Peacemaker, Invincible’s Omni-Man, Ermac, Quan-Chi, and the upcoming Takeda. Mortal Kombat 1 will also get a story expansion, but there are no details about it yet.
Mortal Kombat 1 DLC Character
Mortal Kombat 1 will add Homelander as a downloadable content character. He will be available on June 4 for Kombat Pack owners and on June 11 for everyone else, according to Warner Bros. Games and NetherRealm Studios. Ferra will join the Kameo roster later in June.
Homelander is the most powerful being on the planet and the leader of The Seven, a top superhero team managed by Vought International. He is the strongest “Supe” in a world where superheroes are created.
Homelander looks like the ultimate patriot and protector, but he is a murderous, selfish sociopath who craves attention, love, and power. He destroys his enemies and seeks power not just in his world, but in other realms too. In the new video, Homelander shows his dominance with super strength, aerial attacks, and eye lasers.
How to Get Homelander in Mortal Kombat 1?
Homelander will be available in Mortal Kombat 1 on June 4, 2024, for early access players. After that, anyone can buy him separately starting on June 11. Homelander is also part of the Mortal Kombat 1 Kombat Pack, which includes the first wave of DLC characters.
The Kombat Pack includes a Jean-Claude Van Damme skin for Johnny Cage, early access to six DLC characters (Omni-Man, Quan Chi, Peacemaker, Ermac, Homelander, and Takeda Takahashi), and five DLC Kameo Fighters.
