The deep, non-linear story sees Shinnock attacking Earth following the defeat of Shao Kahn. The game follows up on the events of 2011's Mortal Kombat, but shifts us waaaay down the timeline, as far as 25 years into the characters' future. That means, of course, that players can expect more of the brutal, visceral one-on-one combat (sorry, 'kombat') that Mortal Kombat is famed for. Mortal Kombat, the classic beat-'em-up series with a preponderance for inserting the letter 'K' anywhere it can, is back.
