Following the conclusion of Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath, Liu Kang, now the God of Fire and Keeper of Time, created a new timeline in which peace and prosperity were expected to flow. However, Mortal Kombat 1‘s story saw that peace come to a rapid end, as a mysterious figure sowed seeds of doubt and conflict between Earthrealm and Outrealm.

In doing so, Mortal Kombat 1‘s story has left its future wide-open, though crucial final moments may give a hint as to what the next game could entail.
