With the exact same story structure as Mortal Kombat 11, Aftermath is noticeably shorter at five chapters but remains action-packed from start to finish. Despite hesitancy from Raiden, Liu Kang agrees to the temporary alliance, and shortly thereafter Shang Tsung, Fujin, and Nightwolf travel back in time to steal Kronika crown before she is able to capture it. Japanese-American actor and the star of the first live-action Mortal Kombat movie Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa reprises his role as the evil sorcerer and claims that Liu Kang needs his help to forge a new history. While asking Raiden for guidance in restoring the timeline, both allies are confronted by Shang Tsung, Fujin, and Nightwolf.

Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath takes place immediately after Fire God Liu Kang destroys both Kronika and the crown she uses to alter time and history through the Hourglass. Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa absolutely steals the show as Shang Tsung and is a great reason to play Aftermath. Here are more of my spoiler-free thoughts on the narrative, characters, and why I came to this brutally honest conclusion. Dre wouldn’t be contributing his production skills to this project, I did get a kick out of seeing new playable characters in the form of Fujin, Sheeva, and Peter Weller’s RoboCop.Īfter diving headfirst into all of the content that this package has to offer, I can confirm that Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath is a great expansion hampered by the fact that it’s grossly overpriced and feels out of place in certain areas. While I was very disappointed to learn that Dr. Interactive Entertainment and NetherRealm Studios confirmed the imminent launch of Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath, a new story expansion for one of the best fighting games of 2019.
