Just as Shang Tsung has taken the crown for himself, defeated Kronika and absorbed her powers Liu Kang returns from the future to face him. Through the course of the Aftermath story we see betrayal after betrayal, as one would expect when Shang Tsung is at the center of the plot, which leads to the final battle. Liu Kang decides to trust Shang Tsung to go back to the past and retrieve the crown. In Aftermath, Shang Tsung warns our heroes that they need Kronika's crown-which was destroyed in the final battle-to reshape history once again. When Kronika was defeated and killed by Thunder Fire God Liu Kang at the end of the main story, they were released. The titan of time tried to recruit the three men to help her reshape history, but when they refused they were put in this special prison. The story of Mortal Kombat 11 Aftermath sees Shang Tsung, Nightwolf and Fujin emerge from "The Void" that Kronika put them in during the events of the main story. Of course, this isn't too surprising considering the trailer and how Mortal Kombat 11's story ended originally.NetherRealm Studios/Warner Bros MORTAL KOMBAT 11 AFTERMATH ENDING EXPLAINED Like Mortal Kombat 9 and Mortal Kombat 11's original main story mode, time travel will be an important plot element based on this "Back to the Future" comment. "As we had that discussion about the story, we saw there's more that we can tell for this, so we came up with a little bit of a Back to the Future Part 2 synopsis you go back in time and you see the events of it, and then you're changing the course of history. Since Alien, Leatherface, Triborg, and Bo' Rai Cho were such a success for the Mortal Kombat XL package, NetherRealm Studios wanted to "one-up" that with Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath and the new story mode content. This is apparently why the team didn't want to wait until the next Mortal Kombat entry before continuing the story. Let's just hit really hard with a great addition – almost like an epilogue – final conclusion to the story.'"īoon stated that NetherRealm Studios "didn't want to tell a new story." This is meant to be Mortal Kombat 11's story. "So that was kind of like, 'Oh, let's do that. a lot of our fans love that part of Mortal Kombat: the story mode, the narrative, and all that stuff," continued Boon. Please note that Nightwolf is never specifically mentioned by Boon in the Game Informer interview. Traditionally, guest characters don't make an appearance in NetherRealm Studios' canonical story modes for the Mortal Kombat and Injustice series.īased on the trailers and Ed Boon's statements, the five chapters will very likely have Shang Tsung, Fujin, Sheeva, Nightwolf, and Sindel as the main characters. We're really trying to focus mainly on these new characters: Fujin and Sheeva."Īlthough this probably isn't surprising to most fans, Boon noted that RoboCop is not present in the story. They're much thicker chapters and longer.
"Traditionally we'll have four fights in a chapter per character. It's five very thick chapters," said Boon in response to a question that asked about the scope of the story.
