If it wasn't clear already that Mortal Kombat 1 is going to be a big shake up for the series, Ed Boon casually dropping that Scorpion and Subzero are brothers now was a big tip off. Riffing off the timeline-resetting ending of the previous game, the new game's narrative seems to be focusing back on classic versions of characters like Johnny Cage, Kenshi, Kitana, and Mileena, but remixing their storylines in new ways.
Along with everyone's favourite ninjas now being related, we've also got a young Raiden training to use his powers, Cage and Kenshi coming to blows over a prized samurai sword, and Kitana trying to save Mileena from succumbing to a supernatural disease (seemingly the new explanation for her… dental issues).
