Why Scorpion and Sub-Zero Should Take Center Stage in ‘Mortal Kombat 2’

Mortal Kombat 1 is the latest entry in one of the fighting genre’s most celebrated and long-lasting franchises. While the Mortal Kombat series has been host to various soft and hard reboots, no title has attempted to establish a deeper narrative than Mortal Kombat 1. The title served as both a sequel and a complete reboot of Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath‘s universe, offering veteran fans unique reinventions of its characters’ origins and motivations. Among these reinventions, Scorpion and Sub-Zero‘s serves as the most compelling and volatile, with their combined storyline setting the stage for a deep and extensive future conflict. Mortal Kombat 1‘s narrative introduces various future plot lines, but the immediate implications of Scorpion and Sub-Zero’s storyline make the case for the pair taking center stage in ‘Mortal Kombat 2‘.
