History

The story is to take place after the events of Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, but during the time of first three games: Mortal Kombat, Mortal Kombat II and Mortal Kombat 3. The events of the games however, are said to take place in a different scenario because Raiden, the god of thunder, has knowledge of the future.

Mortal Kombat is the first M-rated Mortal Kombat game to be developed for the seventh generation of consoles, as opposed to the T-rated Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe. This is also the first title to include 3D graphics, although gameplay has been brought back to its classic 2D plane. The developers have also stated that this is the first game in which they are making a conscious effort to create deeper gameplay for more hardcore players.

Story

The story begins with Raiden, just when he is about to be killed by Shao Kahn in the events that happen after Armageddon. In a last effort, he sends a message to himself in the past, in the era of "Mortal Kombat", the first game. The rest of the story follows that Raiden's past and shows him trying to understand the visions and messages he gets from himself in the future and trying to prevent the events that lead to destruction of all realities, thus trying to change the course of history itself.

Characters

It was revealed that the player would have the ability to play as multiple characters during the course of story. According to the developers, the story will be much longer than the story present in Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe. The developers have noticed that the story had been ignored in the past in favor for the fighting gameplay "action" and wanted to make a change in that for Mortal Kombat.

Furthermore, a Playstation 3 exclusive has previously been announced. Excluded from the story campaign, players would be able to play as Kratos, god of war, including his own personal set of moves, and fighting arena.
