What to expect in the game

Mortal Kombat 1 literally ushers in a new era of familiar characters. This is because Liu Kang became a Keeper of Time after a fight for Kronika’s Hourglass. When this item ripped the fabric of time, it allowed Liu Kang to restart history.

For example, in the Mortal Kombat 1 universe, Sub-Zero and Scorpion are brothers. Meanwhile, Smoke is also in the picture and part of the Lin Kuei. Smoke can even confront Liu Kang about turning him into an orphan.
