Who is this? For those who have never heard of Jean-Claude Van Damme: In short, he is a Belgian actor and martial artist. He is known for many action films with martial arts plots. Van Damme was a real cult figure in the 1990s, especially in the action and martial arts genre. His nickname is “The Muscles from Brussels” and he was particularly popular in the USA for his accent.

Finally they have the man who basically inspired the game

What excites fans so much? It’s not just fans of the early days who are happy about the optional Van Damme skin. Even younger players who are just now joining the series are enthusiastic about the unique charisma that actor Johnny Cage gives in the comments on YouTube.

Because with his costume, his entire body language and his movements, as well as his dialogues, the developers have managed to reflect Van Damme very well.

Mortal Kombat 1 seems to have a lot to do with the nostalgic feeling of older fans, as a 90s-inspired trailer shows.

For the most part, however, the players who were able to witness the launch of Mortal Kombat in the 90s are speaking out.
