What's new

(Spoilers)Netherrealm War Summary+Story Details From MKX Print Issue #2

Copied this info from an awesome smoke MKO User @Shad . Theres a new piece of information in the beginning of MKX:Blood Ties issue 2 on whats happening in the world of MK!

Even after defeating the evil Shao Kahn, humanity was not safe.

A fallen Elder God named Shinnok rose to lead the undead armies of Netherrealm against us in a war that nearly destroyed Earthrealm. Nearly.

Against all odds, Raiden and his champions prevailed. Shinnok was imprisoned and his undead army was driven back to Netherrealm - except for a fortunate few, miraculously restored to life, and granted the opportunity to set things right...

Previously in Mortal Kombat X:

Given a second chance at life, Hanzo Hasashi aka "Scorpion" reformed the Shirai Ryu clan and took in Takeda, son of the swordsman Kenshi, as his latest apprentice. But after a demon posessed one of Hanzo's students via an ancient dagger and massacred the rest of his clan, Scorpion vowed to finish the being who had originally given him the dagger - Raiden!

Meanwhile...

After Emperor Shao Kahn's death, his sole heir Mileena claimed the throne of Outworld. As the war between Earthrealm and Netherrealm threatened to spread to Outworld, Empress Mileena refused to coordinate a defense effort, ignoring the please of her War Chief, Kotal. Finally, after a great battle, Mileena was overthrown. Those who sided with the would-be Empress became enemies of the new Emperor, now calling himself Kotal Kahn.

And thus the Outworld Civil War began...

Cast list:


Hanzo Hasashi AKA Scorpion: Grandmaster of the Shirai Ryu. Former Netherrealm agent.

Kenshi: Special Forces agent. Absentee father.

Spammer. Crouch walk hater.
So supposedly they went with 1 guy and 1 sibbling? If Sonya is there this means Johnny Cage is not in, goddamit.
Also Jax is in + daughter, Kenshi + son WTF.

Fujin and Ermac for MK 11
Anyone else notice Erron Black looks like he can't decide if he's a ninja or cowboy?? lol:confused:


were's baraka when all this stuff going down? :( :( :(
Maybe he got killed, some people apparently have to die since it is or was a war afterall. I wouldn't be surprised if Baraka, Fujin among some others wind up dying during the Netherrealm War.

bye felicia
Story mode's first time interval is five years, so hopefully that will be after the netheretcon war and we can keep Shinnok tucked away in the opening movie where he belongs.

In Zoning We Trust
Kenshi, Shinnok, AND Takeda!?!?

Oh man. I'm going to have a serious character crisis early on. Oh wait... I'm a tier whore with no loyalty... so no I wont :cool:
Haha definitely. I like them all but can only main one. Between Ermac and the three of them there's no way the elite zoning character of my MKX dreams is not in that bunch!

What the hell are some of you talking about?

Shinnok is DECONFIRMED.

MKX takes place after the Netherrealm war, which happened in the five years after MK9, and MKX picks up after those fives years and jumps around until it reaches 25 years later.

Shinnok lost.

He's imprisoned.

MK4 happened in the background.

I mean that's only 5 years later we still have 20 years to go... Anything could still happen
