First off, Liu Kang doesn’t send the trio far back enough in time. Nothing can go wrong with his plan.Ī few things go wrong with his plan. Tsung offers to go back in time to steal Kronika’s crown from his own palace, at which point he’ll totally give it to the good guys and let them win. If he tries without the crown, time will be destroyed forever. The trio, who were trapped by Kronika and freed upon her defeat, warn that Liu Kang cannot reshape history without Kronika’s Crown of Souls, which was destroyed during their final battle. The new chapter picks up where the old one left off, but as Liu Kang starts reshaping, a portal appears, spitting out wind god Fujin, spiritual warrior Nightwolf, and good old Shang Tsung. Fire god Liu Kang defeats Kronika and prepares to use her power to completely reshape history. In the story mode ending, which is Mortal Kombat canon, Raiden grants his power to Liu Kang, transforming him into the god of lightning and thunder.

In Klassic Towers mode any character can defeat Kronika and rewrite history as they see fit. Mortal Kombat 11’s big boss is Kronika, the keeper of time, who seeks to use her vast power to erase the influence of thunder god Raiden from the timeline. To set that up, we’re going to need to spoil a few things. Called “Part 2: Aftermath,” it picks up where the first part of the story left off. Along with the paid update, Netherrealm Studios also released a free update for all players that adds new items and equipment, brings back classic stage fatalities, and gives characters the means to end a fight on a positive note with warm-hearted Friendship fatalities.Īs a solo player who’d rather not compete online, I’m all about the new story expansion. The third new character, Robert “Robocop” Cop, is a new guest character who sadly does not appear in the story. Japanese wind god Fujin returns to the series, as does the four-armed Queen Sheeva, both playing key roles in the new story chapters.

Out today for PC, PlayStation 4, Switch, and Xbox One, Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath is a paid expansion that continues the single-player story from the initial release and adds a trio of new playable characters. Having that backstabby, soul-stealing bastard front-and-centre is a good sign that betrayal is going down at some point.

The new single-player story content in Mortal Kombat 11’s Aftermath expansion stars the treacherous sorcerer Shang Tsung.
