NetherRealm StudiosFirst things first, let’s look at where the universe stands at the start of MK11: Following Shinnok’s defeat at the hands of Cassie Cage at the end of Mortal Kombat X, a now corrupted Dark Raiden intends on protecting Earthrealm by ruthlessly destroying all of its enemies. That leads to Raiden decapitating Shinnok, which triggers Kronika, Shinnok’s mother and Keeper of Time, to rewrite history in order to stop Raiden’s interference.The plot of MK11 itself does do a lot to build the Mortal Kombat universe, especially with the introduction of Kronika and her family of personified concepts Cetrion and Geras. It delves into the greater forces of the franchise and sets up a fresh take for the eventual follow-up in the series. But don’t expect as satisfying of a payoff to the exciting journey, as the game’s conclusion is considerably anti-climactic.The game underutilizes Dark Raiden, particularly as trailers for the game alludes to him having greater importance to the story than he actually does.
Microsoft is well known for making major changes to its products which its customers seemingly didn’t want or ask for, Windows 8 being a recent example of something with many sweeping changes that proved to be controversial. But before that, another big alteration to a product line was with 2007 and the introduction of the Ribbon user interface.
