Technically both a reboot and a sequel for the franchise, Mortal Kombat 1 seems to follow on from the good ending of Mortal Kombat 11's Aftermath DLC, where Fire God Liu Kang puts a stop to Shang Tsung's time-altering shenanigans and creates a brand-new timeline of his design.īased on Mortal Kombat 1's announcement trailer, it seems as though Liu Kang's new timeline will take fans all the way back to before the events of even the very first Mortal Kombat game, with characters like Kung Lao tending a farm and Scorpion and Sub-Zero still yet to be mortal enemies. After months of waiting, NetherRealm has finally officially announced the next entry in its long-running fighting game franchise, and like the recent rumors suggested, it's officially titled Mortal Kombat 1.
