The latest update for Mortal Kombat 1 introduces an exciting addition to the roster: the fierce fighter Janet Cage

Mortal Kombat 1 has been expanding its character lineup, and the most recent update, available now on the Switch and various other platforms, introduces Janet Cage to the game.

In Kameo Fighter, Cage becomes a part of the battle, but you won’t have direct control over the character. Instead, you have the ability to summon them into battles using specific button presses and combos, and once they’re in, they take charge and do their own thing. They can also be summoned to deliver the final strike.

In addition to this, the most recent update for Mortal Kombat 1 brings along a plethora of other updates, including specific fixes for the Nintendo Switch version that enhance the visuals. Below, you’ll find the complete breakdown, straight from the official Mortal Kombat website:
