The New Timeline in Mortal Kombat 1
The reveal trailer for Mortal Kombat 1 showcases another exciting timeline reboot. To better understand what's happening, let's take a quick look back at the events of MK11 and Aftermath: Liu Kang becomes the Fire God and defeats Kronika to gain control of her hourglass. Depending on the outcome of the game, either Liu Kang resets the timeline or Shang Tsung wins and rules over all the realms.
What Happens in the Trailer
In the trailer, we get a glimpse into the lives of some familiar characters like Raiden, Kitana, Scorpion, and Sub-Zero. However, Shang Tsung suddenly appears and destroys their happy moments. Fire God Liu Kang is angered by this and prepares to give Shang Tsung a brutal end.
It is speculated that the shown Shang Tsung could be the one from the bad ending of Aftermath. This invasion could trigger the central conflict in Mortal Kombat 1 in Liu Kang's seemingly perfect world.
