Twenty-five years after the fall of Shao Kahn, Earthrealm enjoys an uneasy peace. But in the shadows, the fallen Elder God Shinnok and the sorcerer Quan Chi launch a devastating invasion from the Netherrealm. Their goal is to corrupt the sacred Jinsei and plunge all realms into eternal darkness.
A new generation of warriors—led by Cassie Cage, Jacqui Briggs, Takeda Takahashi, and Kung Jin—must fight alongside legendary champions such as Raiden, Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Johnny Cage, Sonya Blade, Kenshi, and Liu Kang. As old rivalries return and powerful alliances are tested, the fate of Earthrealm rests on whether the new heroes can stop Shinnok before his reign of darkness begins. The story follows the events of the Mortal Kombat X game, featuring the rise of the Kombat Kids, the Outworld civil war, and the battle against Shinnok's invasion.
