Over twenty years after Shao Khan's death, Raiden and his Earthrealm accomplices find themselves faced with a bigger threat: The fallen Elder God Shinnok. As Quan Chi resurfaces with his army of undead fighters, it's up to Johnny Cage, Sonya Blade, Kenshi, and the rest of the older and newer Earthrealm defenders to stop Quan Chi before he can release Shinnok into Earthrealm and destroy the Elder Gods once and for all.
