Mortal Kombat (which was actually the 9th main entry so its called MK9) > MKX > MK11 >

MK1

Who did the counting at Netherralm studios? Didn't get me wrong I love Ed Boon and Mortal K but they way they name stuff is just weird. I also wonder if Reptile will be a secret character since that's what he was in MK1??

The question is, will the next game be called MK2 or MK13 (or I guess MK12)?

They already rebooted it so they should've just called it mortal kombat like in 2009 again. Like battlefield 1 is a pretty stupid name but it kinda makes sense since it's a ww1 game.

I saw someone mention that since it's MK1 again, it could be called MK1 2, so MK12. Kinda funny when you think about it like that.

But yeah I think they had to "reboot" it again because of the awful story decisions they made on the first reboot.

MK9 from what I recall was just Raiden going 'shit we got off the rails somewhere, let's go back to the beginning to see where', while MK1 is basically 'shits all fucked, just restart the universe and change everything and watch it fall back into place anyway'.

Slight difference, big a difference none the less.

This time it is a literal reboot because not all the characters have the same roles. Liu Kang is the Fire God now while Raiden is the Champion of Earth Realm, basically a lot of people's roles got switched around. Mileena is the Princess of Edenia instead of Kitana and Scorpion and Sub Zero are brothers (Kuai Liang and Bi Han) this time around instead of rivals. We have no idea what role Hanzo Hasashi (the original Scorpion) will play this time around.

I thought it was more along the lines of LK going "I'm the almighty now, I'll recreate the world as how I think it should be".

It's pretty trendy to start naming your games [game series] 1 right now. It makes people have this feeling that your game is fresh and also removes the baggage of every other game.

According to leaks, Hanzo is a kid who was adopted to be a protegee and trainee.

Asocial, not introverted. Know the difference.
Maybe those JRPGs villains were on to something about humanity being trash.

Scorpion has not been named. Maybe Hanzo was adopted and Kuai Liang is still a child. We don't know all the story details yet.

That would make sense.

They definitely confirmed a month ago that Kuai Liang is Scorpion. If the leaks are true I can see Kuai Liang training a young Hanzo to be the new Scorpion for the next sequel.
