The recent MK1 trailer has already hinted as much. For instance, Mileena, who is known to be a creation of Shang Tsung and a servant of Shao Khan, is an ally of Kitana in this continuity.

Who knows what else Mortal Kombat 1 will bring, but we’re sure to know more when the beta tests start this August.

Here are Mortal Kombat 1’s minimum requirements:
