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 Kong defeats Shao Kahn in Mortal Kombat, causing him and his forces to retreat back to Outworld.

A year later, Johnny Cage and Sonya Blade have a kid, Cassie Cage. Sonya Blade uncovers a Red Dragon hideout and discovers Kano being held captive. 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.

Meanwhile, Raiden intends to invade Outworld before Shao Kahn can rebuild his army, by challenging the realm to another Mortal Kombat tournament. Believing this will cause a war between Earthrealm and Outworld, Sub-Zero locates Scorpion to convince him to try to stop Raiden.

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.
