Actress Megan Fox is providing the full voiceover for the character and the game\u2019s player base is not impressed with what they\u2019ve heard. Through a slow drip-feed process we\u2019ve learned about Mortal Kombat 1\u2019s character roster. Even though DLC outlines the game\u2019s future plans, the immediate launch roster is key. Legendary figures such as Scorpion and Sub-Zero are back, of course, but there\u2019s also been a hefty amount of returning characters from previous games too. In particular, the \u20183D\u2019 era of MK has been targeted. One of the fighters that NetherRealm has settled upon is a rare appearance for Nitara. It\u2019s the first time since 2006\u2019s Mortal Kombat: Armageddon that the vicious vampire has been seen. The voice credit has gone to Megan Fox \u2013 the star of Transformers, Jennifer\u2019s Body, and many other roles. Even though she\u2019s become renowned in film &#038; TV, MK fans are wondering if Mortal Kombat 1 is a step too far. Megan Fox\u2019s \u201cemotionless\u201d performance in Mortal Kombat 1 criticized 2023 has already seen the involvement of Megan Fox in another major game \u2013 Diablo 4. There, she was delivering real-life eulogies to fallen D4 characters, whereas MK1 is a fully-fledged acting role. Nitara\u2019s reveal featured a gameplay video along with words from Fox herself, as well as snippets of dialog from the actress. In a Reddit post on the subject, one user described her line reading as having \u201cFlat line delivery\u201d and they claimed that it is \u201cwhy you have \u2018voice actors\u2019 and \u2018actors&#8217;\u201d. The same commenter also added: \u201cMaybe she\u2019s one of them actors that needs a lot of direction cause how her voice lines sound from what I\u2019ve seen it sounded like she phoned it in for a paycheck.\u201d Whereas some fans felt that the footage used from the trailer wouldn\u2019t reflect the game\u2019s true audio, many players who have obtained the game early say otherwise. \u201cHer performance in the story was horrible but in her Tower ending, she sounds good,\u201d claimed one user, and someone else said: \u201c100%. In the story, she\u2019s just so emotionless. But in the Tower she did well. Have no idea why she went so emotionless.\u201d With only a few days left until the complete release, the community will be able to deliver a complete verdict of the Mortal Kombat 1 and Megan Fox partnership soon enough.
