In the original MK11 timeline it’s revealed that the Titan Kronika had reset the timeline over and over again, and had always pitted Lui Kang and Raiden against each other so they couldn’t stop her, but in the game this time they overcome her by fusing together, with Raiden giving Lui Kang his godly powers and taking his place as an Elder God. In MK11 Aftermath, Lui Kang finds he cannot reset the timeline without Kronika’s crown which he destroyed in his battle with her. Shang Tsung arrives with other characters who weren’t in the story originally, having been “banished” to another dimension, and offers to go back in time to collect the crown. Skipping ahead, Shang betrays everyone as he does and gains pseudo-godhood by draining the souls of some of the strongest characters in the series and has a final fight with Lui Kang, which canonically he loses. Shang Tsung is erased from time and Lui Kang makes a new timeline, a “New Era” which is what we see in this trailer.
@@jaelonwillis2336 Because Liu Kang could shoot flames out of hands even as a mortal, and the trailer hints and Raiden’s lightning powers as we knew them previously by having a brewing thunderstorm behind him when he stands before Kung Lao…
I also had no clue about what was going on lol Mortal Combat fell off for me awhile ago and the lore was always all over the place so me not having prior knowledge to this trailer is whatever 🤷🏾♂️ it’s not like an anime or a TV show. Just a regular old storyline in a video game 😂
@@Deep_chocolate Facts like even if y'all aren't real fans, you couldn't at least watch videos on the lore to catch up before doing a reaction video to a SEQUEL game??? Now y'all look stupid on lore from a game like 4 years old now. You can't react on something you know nothing about. Trash reaction video period.
that was really irritating me apparently a lot of UA-camrs didn’t play the last game. I feel like the trailer was very self-explanatory. He even narrated what’s happening 😂
@@eardey LOLOL even worse, them niggas didnt know that was Raiden. Since when the fuck did Kung Lao wear a straw hat and summon lightning upon his arrival?
For anyone confused and curious as to how it’s MORTAL KOMBAT 1. It’s because Liu Kang Reset the timeline in MK 11. Liu Kang took Raidens place as the Elder God in MK11 after Raiden sacrificed his Godhood/Immortality for the sake of the story going forward. So how will characters like Johnny Cage even exist if we’re seemingly in the Great Kung Lao Era is the next obvious question. It’s important to note that technically any character across the MK verse can exist in this new timeline no matter what game or era or timeline they originate from because this New Era is created in Fire God Liu Kangs Image. And this Liu Kang still retains all the memories and experiences of the prior games and characters. This New Era in a sense will be “timeless”. MK 11 was all about Breaking Time. Devs also said we will see characters like we’ve never seen them before..reimagined. So again..anyone can exist.. no matter the game, era or timeline.
@@DizRupTnz Well I’m not too sure about that. Both Kung Lao and Raiden were clearly both young in this trailer. And It might have something to do with MK11 literally ending with Liu Kang going back to meet the Great Kung Lao after the reset. Im sure you can find the clip on UA-cam. But you are correct that is only my assumption. But why else would Great Kung Lao be in the MK11 ending after the reset? But to your point.. I’ll even extend an olive branch. Quoted from the MK1 official site “Mortal Kombat 1 will feature REIMAGINED FIGHTERS like they’ve never been seen before, including Liu Kang, Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Raiden, Kung Lao, Kitana, Mileena, Shang Tsung, JOHNNY CAGE, and many others.” Which goes hand & hand with my prior statement when I said that “this New Era will be in a sense “timeless” and that characters from any game or era can potentially exist. It doesn’t need to be the Great Kung Lao “Era” necessarily. It’s a “New Era that the Great Kung Lao is a part of. Raiden, Shang, & Kung Lao being young but Johnny Cage still being present clearly proves this. And it also says that this young Great Kung Lao could even be a combination of both versions of him. I’m not saying I’m right, but you asked a question and here are my reasons why. 💯
This game is going to be so awesome! I can't wait to play it and see how the dynamics of the story will play out! Oh, and the new god/protector of Earthrealm is Liu Kang! At the end of Mortal Kombat 11 after Liu Kang defeat, Shang Tsung and Kronika, he uses the power of the hourglass to reset time. Bringing the course of events back to the beginning. Prior to the first Mortal Kombat game.Which is why at the end of Mortal Kombat 11(Good Ending) we see Fire God Liu Kang, speaking with The Great Kung Lao before; the first ever Mortal Kombat tournament!
I know right it always kind a annoys me how people assume things about the Mortal Kombat story line when they haven’t even kept up with the story from the last game. A great example is what is shown here when they didn’t even know who the main person was. How is that Raiden when he’s clearly using fire abilities😂
That is entirely Liu Kang. He became the God of Fire & Thunder at the end of MK11, man. I can't wait for this game. That was Raiden at the beginning before you see Kung Lao; he's a mortal now. Jax was not in the orginal MK; he wasn't intro-ed until part 2. The only playable characters w/o codes/mods were Liu Kang, Raiden, Kano, Johnny Cage, Sonya, Sub-Zero, and Scorpion.
MK11 was the last installment before this one and since it's already spoiled for y'all I'll just explain without spoiling any further but basically Raiden turned Liu Kang into a God and he restarted time so were back to MK1 again but this time in the vision of Liu Kang's perspective and how he crafts this new era.
Yall really slipped up on this video, please in the future either play the previous game before reacting to the new one or at least watch the story mode from the previous game. The fact you guys where baffled at Liu Kang being a God now shows none of you had a clue about the lore from the last game and Liu Kang became a God towards the end of that story mode. Missing out out on the aftermath dlc would have been understandable but the God Liu Kang lore was in the base game.😮💨
Why all the other reactors know that was liu kang and these guys didn't know and also saying when did he became a god they really didn't play the story mode as such they ganna play this one also but not the story mode.
That’s a cg trailer- Not gameplay. Kang became a god in the last game after Raiden gave up his power and title in a gamble to beat kronika and it worked.
It AMAZES me how people consistently react to MK without knowing what happened. Know something about the game or at least the characters if you're going to play. This shit is wild to me and I'M A WOMAN. 😂🤦🏿♀️
Amazon Italy leaked the characters for the Kombat Pack 1 and it's going to be: Homelander (Yes, from The Boys), Peacemaker, Quan Chi, Ermac, and Omniman
If you have not watch MK 11 ultimate (with all the story) for sure you don't understand why Liu Kang is so OP loool He became a God instead of Raiden who became a human (at the beginning of the trailer in the house). And it's not a gameplay trailer but they surely used the Unreal Engine 5 (instead of the 4 for MK11) with the tech "Metahuman". They announce also that the skin of Jean Claude Van Dam gonna be available for Johny Cage (Finally since at the beginning the game was based for JCVD)
Confused on Ahsoka, Confused with MI and now with MK.....i swear 😂😂😂 Don't do it to yourselves when injustice 3 comes out in a few years and the animated movie is NOT the one to refer to
It's most likely just a name not a remake of the first game. They tend to do that alot in the industry like Battlefield 1 as opposed to Battlefield 1942 which was actually the fist game. Either way it's a dope trailer and it will be a fine game like the previous ones. Just wish they doubled down on this and made a full movie with this animation and story.
To the guy with the Dreads who obviously didn’t play MK11, that is Liu Kang he takes over Raidens spot & is now the time keeper, do ur research before talking bout the Mortal Kombat champion!!
In the original MK11 timeline it’s revealed that the Titan Kronika had reset the timeline over and over again, and had always pitted Lui Kang and Raiden against each other so they couldn’t stop her, but in the game this time they overcome her by fusing together, with Raiden giving Lui Kang his godly powers and taking his place as an Elder God.

Thank you. Irritating to see reactors who have no clue of the lore of the games they are reacting to. Like tf you mean how is Liu Kang a god now?!??
I do believe Raider gave up his Godhood to merge with Liu kang, he is mortal and will be mortal in the next timeline .
@@Kwwwyjibo You believe? Lol that's exactly what happened. Raiden is mortal now but we can assume he still has some of his Thunder powers.
@@blackpow3rWhy would he? He didnt in Aftermath, and liu lang has them now. He’ll probably just be a martial artist unfortunately
@@jaelonwillis2336 Because Liu Kang could shoot flames out of hands even as a mortal, and the trailer hints and Raiden’s lightning powers as we knew them previously by having a brewing thunderstorm behind him when he stands before Kung Lao…
It cracks me up seeing people, who have never played any of the games, reacting to this trailer and being confused by it.
They arguing being both wrong and clueless lol
And they think the beta is on the 19 😂
@Dayspring last game they probs played was the MK mobile game😭💀

@@Kahleetovlogs honestly mk9,X, and 11 explain everything pretty clearly
Liu Kang became a god in the last game. In order to save Liu Kang, Raiden transferred his powers to Liu Kang to make him a god.
"Since when is Liu Kang a God?" Welp, since MK11.
Normies lol
Casuals making a reaction video like they know anything about the lore.

Not Aftermath but MK11 they're going to start how has he become into a God
Even in the base game it does lmao
They are like flight of reactions 🗿, they don’t know half of the stuff they see ol
They apparently don't know much about MK and don't react to everything lol
I had to leave when I realized none of these dudes haven’t played MK 11 😂
😂
They definitely played mortal kombat once like 10 years ago lol
Exactly 😂
Nobody played 11 lol everyone I know including myself played X and 11 looked like the same game so we skipped it lol
@@disturbedminds4you the same? Mkx and MK11 are nothing alike😂
not a single one of yall played mk11 huh?? lol
Exactly what I’m saying 😂🤦🏽♂️
Right ?
So you guys never even watched the storyline the MK 11 Aftermath. You would’ve known that was Lui Kang. He reset the universe
1. The fact he kept saying that’s not Liu Kang is crazy even though he looks just like liu kang like bruh 😭😭
Right?! Like how can u not know
bro clearly hasn't played a single MK game

@@rainofkhandaq6678 No they will but it’s just weird cuz they didn’t play the last one
@@rainofkhandaq6678Exactly!
He became a god in MK11 lmao, He's the Fire God now

He became a God on the last game

Also Jerry “since when is liu kang a god”
Did this nigga play MK11🤣🤣
There are two types of Mortal Kombat 1 trailer reaction, people who played Mortal Kombat 11's story and people who are clueless

in MK 11 raiden gave liu kang his powers, and liu kang reset the universe. thats why its MK 1 now

how they asking question even they don't even play mk11
Ya’ll gotta react to the mk1 fatalities!!

Did y’all not play and finish the MK11 story? This is a reboot based on the ending of that game where Liu Kang became a god
Gawd what is the point of watching this without playing the last damn game!!!
Yall clearly didnt play mk11 or aftermath
this gone be so good like i cant wait to play this shit
Jacqueline … 8 arms… you mean sheeva???? Wtf?!!!
Play the last mortal kombat to find out how Kang becomes a God
Looks like you guys didn't play mk11 story mode 😂
Did you not play MK11! Lui Kang became a god by the help his mentor lord Raiden 🐉⚡️
kinda need to play the ending of mk11 to even understand this trailer... He becomes a god.
The 3 that's fighting Shang Tsung are Liu Kang ( the god) Raiden with the hat, and the old Kong Lau they reset the timeline at the end of 11
"Since when was Liu Kang a God?"
Since the last games campaign
If you have not watch MK 11 ultimate (with all the story) for sure you don't understand why Liu Kang is so OP loool He became a God instead of Raiden who became a human (at the beginning of the trailer in the house). And it's not a gameplay trailer but they surely used the Unreal Engine 5 (instead of the 4 for MK11) with the tech "Metahuman".
They announce also that the skin of Jean Claude Van Dam gonna be available for Johny Cage (Finally since at the beginning the game was based for JCVD)
Confused on Ahsoka, Confused with MI and now with MK.....i swear 😂😂😂
Don't do it to yourselves when injustice 3 comes out in a few years and the animated movie is NOT the one to refer to
yall need to play the games or watch a video on the lore because yall would already know thats lui kang if you followed the current storyline
Mortal kombat 1 original fighters were a total of 7 Johnny Cage, Kano, sub zero, scorpion, raiden, Lu kang, Sonya
Did anyone actually play the last one ????
So not 1 person here played MK11. Got it
Liu Kang and Raiden merged in MORTAL COMBAT 11 and he became FIRE GOD LIU KANG.
This dude in denial not know it’s Lui Kang makes me cringe to the point that one of these fools haven’t watched MK11 Aftermath
It's most likely just a name not a remake of the first game. They tend to do that alot in the industry like Battlefield 1 as opposed to Battlefield 1942 which was actually the fist game.
Either way it's a dope trailer and it will be a fine game like the previous ones.
Just wish they doubled down on this and made a full movie with this animation and story.
Mortal Kombat 11 ending Liu Kang was a fire God
MK11 in the story mode liu kang becomes a god
Lui kang is basically the new god raiden he created and reset the universe at the end after math
Liu Kang wanted peace to the new timeline but now shit about to go down
Kano was in one jax was introduced in 2 without the metal arms he got his arms in 3 I hope my boy jax in this man 😭
I think this is the great Kung Lao tournament…I bet subzero and scorpion are clan founders
liu kang became a god in 11 after he merged with raiden
To the guy with the Dreads who obviously didn’t play MK11, that is Liu Kang he takes over Raidens spot & is now the time keeper, do ur research before talking bout the Mortal Kombat champion!!
How bruh did not know that is Fire God Liu Kang??? He must've not played MK11 😭🤣😂
They didn’t play the last game I’m guessing wtf?
It’s liu kang, the timeline is full reboot after events of mk11. Raiden gave his powers to liu kang so he is now protector of earth realm.
This is the mortal kombat reboot with lu kang as the god.
So basically yaw really don’t play the games like that clearly he became a god in the last game lol smh not bout that MK life!
