Mortal Kombat Rebirth

Mortal Kombat Rebirth is a fighting game and reboot of the Mortal Kombat franchise. It is the third series reboot, though this time the timeline diverts from Mortal Kombat 3.

Plot
The plot begins with a retelling of the events of Mortal Kombat 3. Liu Lang defeats Baraka and Sindel. Kitana reaches through to Sindel, turning her against Shao Kahn. Liu Kang defeats Motaro and Shao Kahn in Mortal Kombat, causing him and his forces to retreat back to Outworld.

A year later, Edenia has been freed from Outworld's control. Jax and Sonya have formed an Outworld Investigation Agency. Johnny Cage has starred in a third Mortal Kombat movie and with Sonya Blade has a daughter, Cassie Cage. Kabal tells Sonya Blade of a Black Dragon hideout where Kano is being held captive by his own men who have overthrown him. She unwittingly frees Kano who reveals a new ability to turn into a dragon-human hybrid and attacks her. Kano escapes and uses his cybernetics to hack into the Special Forces databank, turning machine developed against them, nearly killing Jax. Jax escapes but is captured by the Lin Kuei.

Meanwhile, Raiden intends to invade Outworld before Shao Kahn can rebuild his army, by challenging the realm to another Mortal Kombat tournament. Sonya Blade agrees to participate in the tournament for Earthrealm. Believing the tournament will cause a war between Earthrealm and Outworld, Sub-Zero locates Scorpion to convince him to try to stop Raiden. Knowing that Raiden intends to recruit the Lin Kuei, now led by Sector, Sub-Zero then returns to the Lin Kuei intending to take over. He confronts Cyrax, Sektor and Smoke and Jax, who have been converted into full cyborgs. Sub-Zero gets through to Smoke and Cyrax and they defeat Jax and Sektor. Cyrax agrees to follow Sub-Zero but Sektor refuses and flees. Sub-Zero becomes leader of the Lin Kuei and refuses Raiden's request to enter into Mortal Kombat.

Scorpion decides to join Shao Kahn in defending Outworld to keep tabs on him and make sure an invasion doesn't happen. However Shao Kahn offers to resurrect Scorpion's wife and son, as well as the Shirai Ryu, if he remains loyal to him.

Shao Kahn has Shang Tsung recruit fighters for the tournament, including Sektor.

Raiden convinces Reptile to side with Earthealm by revealing Shao Kahn has intention of resurrecting his people. Johnny Cage readily agrees on account of how he can get a fourth Mortal Kombat movie produced if he wins the tournament. Seeing no way to stop Raiden, Sub-Zero and Cyrax reluctantly agree to fight in the tournament to protect Earthrealm.

The Mortal Kombat tournament begins. Sub-Zero warns Cage that if Outworld wins, another invasion will occur but Cage is confident he can win the tournament. The Earthrealm fighters also discover Scorpion is allied with Shao Kahn.

Shao Kahn has assassins attack Cyrax, seeking to eliminate Earthrealm's fighters. Cyrax defeats Sektor only to find his next opponent is Johnny Cage.

In the end, Kitana wins the tournament by defeating Motaro. Shao Kahn decides to eliminate Kitana but Raiden fights him.

In the final chapter, the player chooses between fighting as Raiden or Shao Kahn. Depending on the outcome of the battle, the story ends in one of the following outcomes:
