Yeah, they screwed up the story so much that they can't follow up anymore so they have to reboot it...
Liu Kang, Raiden & Scorpion as DLC, I presume...? However, Batman, Joker and other pointless movie characters will be there for sure...
In any case, I lost faith in MK since MK10 so, no thanks.

Hero beats time god, resets time changing it so nothing before happened.

Thanks!

I could be wrong but that just feels like a kick in the nuts for the fans that have been following the story. Might as well make it more cliché and make it seem like it was all just a dream xD

I mean this is the story, time stuff and all, this side of things started in 9 which did the time stuff first (MK is basically a slightly different retelling of MK1 2 and 3, if I recall)

Wasn't the series just rebooted two or three games ago, or did I just imagine that?

Leynos Darashiva (on 11 May 2023)

Yes but it was also 12 years ago. MK always writes itself into a hole of time travel and characters dying, having kids and whatever else that at some point they are better starting over again.

I mean, yeah, the main story hinted as much in MK11. Haha, "hinted".

It would be cool if on the title screen, you could type ABACABB and get a "Get over here!".

Hopefully it doesn't have the story problems the previous trilogy had. slowly crushes MK9 Sindell and D'Vorah with a spiked steamroller
