The series saw two follow-ups in UsefulNotes/TheEighthGenerationOfConsoleVideoGames that built on ''9'' and continued that game's narrative, ''VideoGame/MortalKombatX'' and ''VideoGame/MortalKombat11''. As with ''9'', both were warmly received by critics, continued to be mainstays at EVO, and were commercial smashes; in fact, the only fighting game of the generation to sell more than ''X'' and ''11'' was ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate'', showing there's much life in the series once nearly left for dead.

What started as a fairly typical [[TournamentArc global tournament]] clone in the vein of ''VideoGame/StreetFighterII'' or ''Film/EnterTheDragon'' quickly transmogrified into an interdimensional war and the mass genocide of the human race, which still somehow managed to shake out in the form of a series of one-on-one matches.

* GameplayAndStorySegregation: In certain matchups the fatalities count as this. You get stuff like Liu Kang turning into a dragon and eating Kitana, Cassie Cage kicking her father's heart out, or Jax tearing his own daughter's arm off. All of this is completely out of character for them.

* GameplayAndStorySegregation: In certain matchups matchups, the fatalities count as this.this since there's nothing preventing characters who are canonically friends/allies (or even family members/love interests) in the series lore from brutally murdering each other at the end of a match.

All of this is completely out of character for them.

* DisownedSibling: Bi-Han and Kuai Liang were once close, with Kuai Liang looking up to his older brother. But as Sub-Zero and Noob Saibot, the two have grown to despise each other; Sub-Zero for his brother's vile deeds, and Noob for his younger brother's perceived betrayal. Each has said to the other at one point or another "We share blood. We are ''not'' brothers."

* FrequentlyBrokenUnbreakableVow: The rule that Mortal Kombat is required to merge the realms is the premise of the first game. After that, though, Shao Kahn starts using either LoopholeAbuse or flat out disobeying the rules, and [[TheGodsMustBeLazy the Elder Gods consistently do nothing about it]].
