Yesterday,Mortal Kombat 11fans got a look at Nightwolf in action by way of a new gameplay trailer. While teasers for this forthcomingMortal Kombat 11DLC characterhave been shared previously, this newMK11Nightwolf gameplay trailer is the first time that players have seen him in combat, and there is quite a bit to be learned from this footage.
To begin, Nightwolf gets things started with a bang in the newMortal Kombat 11trailer, going straight into a string that appears to begin with an overhead attack. Interestingly, the weapon that Nightwolf uses to administer this string seems to be a gunstock war club, an implement used by the Native Americans in the 18th and 19th centuries.

From there, fans get a glimpse at Nightwolf’s signature green bow and arrow. It seems that inMK11the fighter can hold his fire in order to shoot multiple arrows in quick succession. This may mean that players can move with the bow drawn or cancel the move altogether, asMortal Kombat 11’s Erron Blackcan do with his firearm pulled.
Next up, theMK11trailer showcases the first of Nightwolf’s summons: a bear. It appears that this move will act as a defensive option for the fighter, as it seems to grant him armor and the ability to deflectKabal’s projectiles inMortal Kombat 11.
The trailer then depicts one of Nightwolf’s Krushing Blows, which is administered from a throw. This is followed by a clip that pits Nightwolf against Kotal Khan, where it is revealed that the newMK11DLC fighter may have something like a command roll for evasion.
These blunt physical abilities are followed up by a showcase of some of the more elegant tools in Nightwolf’s arsenal. These tools include what appears to be an aimable lightning projectile, the ability to summon a wolf, and yet another projectile in the form of a summonable bird.

Fans then get a look at Nightwolf’s patented shoulder charge, which can apparently setup a Krushing Blow inMortal Kombat 11. After this display, the trailer demonstrate one more projectile: a blue bow and arrow that strikes the opponent with lighting bolts.
To close things off, theMK11Nightwolf trailer shows off how the fighter’s Reflect will function in this new game. Notably, enhancing Reflect appears to setup a punish, which could be quite a powerful tool indeed.
Additionally, theMortal Kombat 11Nightwolf gameplay trailer includes one of the DLC fighter’s intros, his viciousMK11Fatal Blow, and one of his fatalities. These elements have not been touched on in this breakdown, as they do not directly impact gameplay, but some fans will certainly enjoy getting look at them.
Mortal Kombat 11is out now for PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One, with a Stadia version in development.
