Mortal Kombat 1 allows you to change the appearance of your characters with different skins. Especially Johnny Cage is said to receive a skin in the game that many fans are excited about and has a certain nostalgic value for many.
What is it about? The premium edition of Mortal Kombat 1 will include some extras. This includes six new playable characters as well as five cameo characters. Above all, fans are looking forward to a skin that will also find its way into the game through this edition.
Jean-Claude Van Damme appears as an alternative skin for the character Johnny Cage. You can see what that looks like in the following video:
Who is that? For anyone who has never heard of Jean-Claude Van Damme: He is, simply put, a Belgian actor and martial artist. He is known for many action films featuring martial arts. In the 90s, Van Damme was quite a cult figure, especially in the genre of action and martial arts films. His nickname is “The Muscles from Brussels” and he was particularly popular in the USA for his accent.
Finally, they have the man who inspired the game
What excites the fans? The optional Van Damme skin is not only appreciated by long-time fans. Younger players, who are just now getting into the series, also express their excitement in the comments via YouTube about the unique charisma that the actor lends to Johnny Cage.
Because with his costume, his entire body language and movements, as well as his dialogues, the developers have managed to reflect Van Damme very well.
Mortal Kombat 1 seems to rely heavily on the nostalgic feelings of older fans, as already shown by a trailer inspired by the 90s.
However, most players who experienced the launch of Mortal Kombat in the 90s are speaking up.
The skin of Jean-Claude Van Damme seems to be a dream come true for many. The comments are filled with nostalgia and excitement:

It’s beautiful, […] at my 43 years, I feel really blessed to have lived long enough to finally see Van Damme in MK.

It’s so cool to finally have the legend personally in MK. Almost the inspiration behind this legendary franchise.
What do you think of the Van Damme skin? And would it be a reason for you to buy the premium edition?
