As these characters attempt to resolve an ongoing war in the realm of Outworld, old enemies conspire to reignite the war of years past. The story further jumps ahead by several decades, resulting in a new cast of young characters. After seeing their dead friends revived with dark magic, a team of classic Mortal Kombat characters team up to stop Shinnok. In an effort to avenge his death and take advantage of the supposed peace in Earthrealm, the evil sorcerer Shinnok and his army of minions attack, spurring on an epic war. The story is a direct continuation of Mortal Kombat 9, taking place two years after the death of the evil Shao Kahn. Like Mortal Kombat 9, Mortal Kombat X contains a multi-chapter story mode containing dozens of fun fights.
