Mortal Kombat Zero

Mortal Kombat AfterRealm is an American fighting game developed by NetherRealm Studios as a side game to Mortal Kombat, being set after the alternate ending of Mortal Kombat 11. The game released on June 13th, 2022.

Synopsis
Set in the timeline where Liu-Kang and Kitana rule over the realms as gods together, as suddenly mysteriously a new Mortal Kombat tournament gets hosted by the dark dragon god, Onaga, as Liu and Kitana are forced to gather warriors of light to stop Onaga from burning and destroying all the realms.

Playable

 * Liu Kang (voiced by Matthew Yang King) - a legendary warrior who has become one of the two Gods of the new realm, his fire powers being massively enhanced as he alongside Kitana have to gather warriors from the realms to defend all of them from Onaga.
 * Kitana (voiced by Kari Wahlgren) - Liu Kang's lover and the former princess of Edenia who has become the Wind Goddess and helped Liu rebuild and reset the realms as she helps Liu gather new warriors to defend the realms from Onaga.
 * Hanzo Hasashi/The Scorpion (voiced by TBD) - the current headmaster of the Lin Ryu Clan who has successfully united the Shinra Ryu and Lin Kuei as he gets convinced by Liu and Kitana to join the Mortal Kombat tournament.
 * Princess Mileena (voiced by TBD) - the daughter of Queen Sindel and General Baraka of Edenia and the Tartakans of Outworld who was born as a sign of unity between the two races as she starts to struggle with being the eventual queen of Edenia and Outworld while being recruited by Liu Kang and Kitana to join the tournament.
 * Sub-Zero (voiced by TBD) - the energetic yet somewhat violent apprentice of Hanzo who was naturally born with both ice powers and a love for violence although she tries her best to control her urges, joining her mentor to the tournament.
 * Kano (voiced by TBD) - the cocky leader of the Black Dragons who made a deal with the Chaos God, Havik, gaining powerful god-like abilities in the exchange of joining the Mortal Kombat tournament to bring chaos.
 * Kira (voiced by TBD) - a playful anarchist member of the Black Dragons who was recruited by Onaga into spying on the Black Dragons for him as she is sent to the tournament to both help Kano out and to eventually show her loyalty to Onaga.
 * Quan Chi (voiced by TBD) - a calm yet vicious Netherrealm Sorcerer who has bonded his soul to Onaga, being his primary recruiter for the tournament, willing to see everything be destroyed and put in his vision.
 * Sonya Blade/Kabal (voiced by TBD) - a sarcastic rookie Special Forces agent who was sent to infiltrate the Black Dragons as the masked assassin Kabal as she gets recruited by Liu Kang and Kitana to fight for EarthRealm, even if she has to pretend to not be.
 * The Great Kung Lao (voiced by TBD) - the current head of the Shaolin Monks who trains under the fire and wind gods, being sent to join the tournament in case the other fighters turn out to be too untrustworthy.
 * Kleava (voiced by TBD) - a brutal Tarkatan warrior who has grown tired of Baraka's need for peace between Outworld and Edenia, joining Onaga due to her need for new leadership.
 * Bi-Han/Hydro (voiced by TBD) - the treacherous second-in-command of the Lin Ryu who despises Scorpion's command as he gets recruited by Onaga to help him take over the realms, in exchange for him taking over the Lin Ryu as he is able to turn his entire body into water.
 * Tanya (voiced by TBD) - one of Edenia's greatest fighters who can use fire slightly as a weapon as she is hired to be Mileena's bodyguard, making it her goal to make sure she is safe as well as growing a crush on her as well.

Gameplay
Unlike the modern Mortal Kombat games, the game is a 3D arena fighter as you pick one fighter and face against an opponent. Each fighter has new movesets designed to take advantage of the third dimension as despite that, environmental attacks still exist as unlike previous environmental attacks, they are either activated by hitting the opponent into the environment and using the grab button to use the environment as an onetime weapon. The game rejects 11 's Fatal Blows and returns to X-Ray attacks which can be activated through a super gauge as you have to use the full meter to use them. Using half of the meter allows you to do a guard break. Fatalities return as both friendships and Hara-Kiri return as well. Hara Kiris can be performed either by just quitting the game mid match or if you input the Hara-Kiri code before the opponent does their fatality.

Trivia

 * The developers stated that the game was never meant to be the next main Mortal Kombat as the devs worked on the game at the same time as Mortal Kombat 1.
