Sub-Zero’s Deadly Alliance skin was made available last year thanks to Mortal Kombat 1‘s premium shop and here’s how you can access it if it rotates back into the game in the future.

The premium storefront in Mortal Kombat 1 often rotates new items in and out. Notably, the offerings can range from character skins and gear pieces to announcer voices and color palettes.

New skins are occasionally added to the storefront, and a Sub-Zero Deadly Alliance design was on a limited-time offer last year. If you’re hoping it will rotate back into the game in the future and want to know how to access it, here are all the details you need.

How to unlock Sub-Zero’s Deadly Alliance skin in MK1

To reach the in-game store, players must first open the store page on Mortal Kombat 1’s main menu. Hitting the “Store” prompt pulls up the in-game shop.

The skin was originally available in the Deadly Alliance bundle for the frosty fighter and it cost 1,000 Dragon Krystals. The bundle included the regular DA garb, five additional color palettes, and a mask.

While the new skin looks close enough to its 3D-era counterpart, there is one noticeable difference. MK1’s Sub-Zero doesn’t have the bluish-white eyes, so the style may seem a little off to some. His paler skin didn’t factor into the costume’s design, either.

The unmasked version of the Deadly Alliance character also failed to make the cut. Whether or not that particular design will ever migrate to Mortal Kombat 1 is anyone’s guess.
