Mortal Kombat

Mortal Kombat is a 2011 fighting game developed by NetherRealm Studios. It is the ninth main installment in the Mortal Kombat franchise and a soft reboot of the series. Although beginning during the events of Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, the plot retroactively revisits the earliest period in the Mortal Kombat series: the events of the first three games. The storyline follows Raiden, the divine protector of Earth, as he attempts to change the outcome of the Armageddon events by contacting his past self. In the prime future, Shao Kahn became the supreme leader of all the realms after the Battle of Armageddon. Raiden receives a message from himself and tries to prevent that outcome. Because of this plot, the characters and scenarios in the game are the classic ones, bringing the old to the new and starting a new conflict. The game is a fighting game seen from a side view, with single-player and multiplayer modes. It was published by WB Games and released in April 2011 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, with later versions for PC and the PlayStation Vita.
