Mortal Kombat 1’s Twist Could Change Canonicity in Games Forever

PLEASE NOTE: This article contains MAJOR SPOILERS for Mortal Kombat 1.Even in the earliest days of the franchise when there was no dedicated campaign mode, the Mortal Kombat series has always had a fairly strong story, and it’s a huge element that’s helped it stand out from its fighting game competition over the last 30 years. Though it can be pretty silly, Mortal Kombat‘s story is usually pretty compelling, with a colorful cast of distinct characters tying its events together in an engaging way. Mortal Kombat 1 is the latest example of this franchise trend, and it is arguably the best.
