Mortal Kombat 1’s New Update Adds The Kameo Fighter Janet Cage

Mortal Kombat 1 has been steadily growing its roster of characters, and the latest update out now on the Switch and multiple other platforms adds Janet Cage.

Cage joins the battle as a Kameo Fighter, meaning you don’t directly control the character. Instead, you sort of like summon them into fights with certain button presses and combos, and from there they do their own thing. They can also be called in to deliver the finishing blow.

Apart from this, the latest update for Mortal Kombat 1 comes with a bunch of other updates (including some “Nintendo Switch specific” fixes tied to the visuals). You can get the full rundown below, courtesy of the official Mortal Kombat website:
