History WMG / MortalKombatX

** For UsefulNotes/PlayStation consoles: [[VideoGame/InfamousSecondSon Delsin Rowe]], [[VideoGame/{{Killzone}} Colonel Radec]], [[VideoGame/TwistedMetal Needles Kane (AKA Sweet Tooth)]]

[[WMG: The UsefulNotes/XboxOne and UsefulNotes/Xbox360 versions of the game will feature a ''VideoGame/KillerInstinct'' character]]

[[WMG: SelfDemonstrating/RainbowDash will be a playable DLC GuestFighter.]]

Over the course of the past two games, events have played out in a similar (if slightly altered) manner as the original timeline: from [[VideoGame/MortalKombat9 the previous game]], [[spoiler:the events of the [[VideoGame/MortalKombat1 first game]] remained unaltered, the events of ''VideoGame/MortalKombatII'' played out in the same way as originally (aside from Kung Lao's death and Sub-Zero's UnwillingRoboticization), and Shao Kahn still invaded Earthrealm as he did in ''VideoGame/MortalKombat3'', except this time around, almost all of Earthrealm's champions died in the process.]] The events of this game played out in a similar fashion to ''VideoGame/MortalKombat4'', being largely centered around Shinnok's plot to wage war against the Elder Gods (albeit further into the future than previously). [[spoiler:In the end, he was defeated, but Raiden's exposure to his corruption when he cleansed the Jinsei have caused him to become a less benevolent, more threatening god, not unlike what would happen over the course of ''[[VideoGame/MortalKombatDeadlyAlliance Deadly Alliance]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/MortalKombatDeception Deception]]''. The more things change in this new timeline, the more they seem to stay the same: the original timeline's Raiden has not stopped Armageddon. He could do naught but delay it.]]

She's the only noteworthy character from the [=PS2=] era that didn't make a physical appearance, despite being part of the franchise's DorkAge, [[EnsembleDarkHorse she still has her fans]]...I'm certain they've been saving her for this.

** On the hand, it could consist of Raiden and Hotaru (read the "The Seidan military will be enlisted to serve [=MK11=]'s BigBad" post below for details). Perhaps they will also have a fake Deadly Alliance in the vein of the Injustice League [[BigBad the Light]] created in WesternAnimation/YoungJustice to fool the heroes into believing the threat is over.

[[WMG: Dark Raiden will force the heros past the GodzillaThreshold.]]
His actions will force the heros to unleash either Shinnok, Shao Kahn or Onaga to stop him.

[[WMG:Shinnok will be a {{Disc One Final Boss}} who will also be a playable character like Shang-Tsung in [=MK9=].]]

[[WMG: The UsefulNotes/XboxOne and UsefulNotes/{{Xbox 360}} versions of the game will feature a ''VideoGame/KillerInstinct'' character]]

[[WMG:Predator's Variations will be [[{{Film/Predator}} Jungle Hunter]], [[{{Film/Predator2}} City Hunter]], and [[Franchise/AlienVsPredator Alien Hunter]]]]

[[WMG:Jason's Alternate outfit will be {{Film/Jason X}}]]

[[WMG:There will be DLC kostumes based on {{WebVideo/Mortal Kombat Legacy}}]]
Similar to the {{Series/Arrow}} outfit from {{VideoGame/Injustice Gods Among Us}}, they could replace the characters' regular VA with their ''Legacy'' actor when the kostume is used.

[[WMG: [[SelfDemonstrating/RainbowDash Rainbow Dash]] will be a playable DLC {{Guest Fighter}}.]]

[[WMG: Raiden wasn't exactly corrupted by Shinnok, he just had [[Comicbook/TheKillingJoke one]] [[TraumaCongaLine bad]] [[FaceHeelTurn day]].]]
Leading up to that horribly shitty day, he'd had to kill Liu Kang, someone with whom his relationship was closer to that of [[MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Princess Celestia and Twilight Sparkle]] than anything else, and seen many other good people get killed and turned into [[RevenantZombie revenants]] under the direct control of the BigBad, and then found out that someone had managed to steal the MacGuffin that kept the bastard from coming back. Then...

She's the only noteworthy character from the [=PS2=] era that didn't make a physical appearance, despite being part of the franchise's DorkAge, [[EnsembleDarkhorse she still has her fans]]...I'm certain they've been saving her for this.

He's a copycat, similar to [[Franchise/FridayThe13th Friday the 13th]] Part [[spoiler:[[Film/FridayThe13thPartVANewBeginning V]]. This would explain why he's so un-Jason-like; fighting like less of a lumbering zombie and more like someone who's not undead, being willing to remove his mask (and why his head appears to be less deformed than we're used to), and also following the rules of the Mortal Kombat tournament (rounds, time limit, etc).

Takeda, being the successor to Scorpion, and Frost, successor to Sub-Zero, will be romantically shipped in this timeline, thus adding BelligerantSexualTension to their rivalry come MK 11...

*** Or maybe, a Creator/{{Seth MacFarlane}} themed pack, featuring SelfDemonstrating/{{Deadpool}}, imagine the Freaking FCC song as the Stage theme.

* Frost (there are many allusions with her recently regarding a certain [[Disney/{{Frozen}} ice queen]])

If Raiden is attempting to invade Outworld, he might trick Jason and Leatherface among possible others (a return of Freddy Kreuger or Kratos?) into fighting for Earthrealm if the Special Forces and Lin Kuei are unwilling. If the previous Guest Fighters are reused, many would react to Raiden with a WhatTheHellHero look since he would be unleashing a bunch of OmincidalManiacs which include [[Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet a child murderer]], [[Franchise/TheTexasChainsawMassacre a cannibal]], [[WarGod a guy who literally brought about the apocalypse in his own world]], and [[Franchise/FridayThe13th a mindless zombie killing machine]], onto Outworld.

** Damn, this one's skary to think of: Mileena. Imagine a modified version of her ''MK9'' ending in which she is used as a means of providing [[spoiler: Shang Tsung]] a way to cheat death by possessing her. As the possessed Mileena begins absorbing souls to become as powerful as possible and perhaps, if her ending is anything to go by, also gunning for Raiden's soul as the top prize. Someone manages to exorcise her of [[spoiler: the sorcerer's spirit]] midway in the story, but by then it is too late and she has completely gone insane trying to continue to absorb as many souls as possible.

** Kano: See his ''MK9'' ending.

* '''Brutality''': Aside from jokes, this is the most likely one. [[http://youtu.be/eQBg-NBK7ys?t=2m34s A tweet from Ed back around the time MK9 was out revealed that they wanted to put brutalities in MK9, but weren't able to "complete it" (whatever that means).]] Also, [[http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/08/15/gamescom-2014-ed-boon-teases-returning-fatality-type-for-mortal-kombat-x Ed has said that the new Ality will in fact be an old returning one.]] Given the tone they're going for in MKX, brutalities are the main suspect here.

* Actually, Soulnado was already discovered. By Quan Chi and Noob Saibot in MK9. It costed Noob's soul to stop the Soulnado.

A Mileena mirror match begins with one Mileena claiming Shang Tsung creating many of them. This might not be just throwaway, non-can silly dialogue, but actually true. [[spoiler: And if so, it might create a way to get Mileena back in a sequel, albeit a reintroduction of her, and possibly one who could be redeemable like in Kitana's ''MK9'' ending.]]

Since Scorpion had lost his wraith form in the new timeline as opposed to returning to the Netherealm like he did in MK4 (as well as what is possibly the current timeline Scorpion calling the original timeline Scorpion 'delusional' for claiming to be the champion), he was not chosen to be the Champion of the Elder Gods. Instead, the Woman in White (a possible elder god, as there are at least 2 elder goddesses), possessed Jade in order to make her the new champion instead, and attempt to re-direct the new timeline towards what it was supposed to be. Considering Jade was a revenant for a short time, this possibly gave her the same type of qualities that Scorpion had before he became Human once again.

*** Alternatively: more DLC characters will be made for MKX depending on how much DLC is sold. We might not get all of these characters, but depending on how profitable the current DLC is, we might get a few. Injustice had six DLC characters, so a bit more or less than that is a plausible estimate for the DLC character total for this game.

** [[spoiler: Jade]]: Even though [[spoiler: she was killed by Sindel]] in MortalKombat9, her ending, in which she seems to become [[DemonicPossession possessed]] by some unknown woman, seems to strongly imply some sort of SequelHook. Also worth mentioning that even though Quan Chi [[spoiler: has possession of her and others' souls]], bodies were not specified as part of the pact between Shao Kahn and the Netherrealm, so perhaps the mysterious woman is using [[spoiler: Jade's body]] as a vessel for herself.

Considering how the [[GreaterScopeVillain One Being]] is hinted to have influenced powerful beings such as [[MortalKombat9 Shao Kahn]], [[VideoGame/MortalKombatX Shinnok]] and [[VideoGame/MortalKombatDeception Onaga]] in the past and how it plans to reunite the realms to make itself whole again, it is very likely that Raiden may now be under the One Being's influence (after Raiden absorbed the Jinsei's corruption into himself).

* Freddy Kreuger: Since he was featured in [[MortalKombat2011 the last game]], updating him for MKX wouldn't be much of a stretch. Plus, who WOULDN'T want a Film/FreddyVsJason match?

* Rain: Like Tanya, he's an Edenian who's FightingForAHomeland in the MKX story, and also prone to ChronicBackstabbingDisorder. He's also been featured as DLC in [[MortalKombat2011 the last game]], and also featured as an enemy in the game - updating him shouldn't be much of a stretch.

An even further guess, considering how pretty much every villain suffers from ChronicBackstabbingDisorder in the post-reboot canon, is that Shao Kahn's spirit will attempt to possess Reiko's body in order to [[StatusQuoIsGod return to the status quo]], but Reiko will reveal himself to be GenreSavvy enough to have anticipated that move and make that attempt [[GoneHorriblyWrong go horribly wrong]] with the aid of a sorcerer (possibly Quan Chi). Then Quan Chi will reveal he only used Reiko's greed for power to get that power for himself, and all hell will break loose (literally, given how Quan Chi built his army).
