When Mortal Kombat X concluded its story, we left Raiden in a state of compromise after his efforts to purify Earthrealm's Jinsei spirit. The corruption wrought by Shinnok saw the fallen Elder God reduced to a severed head in Raiden's hand, delivered to the Netherrealm. In the Mortal Kombat 11 Prologue Trailer, we learn more about what happened -- and the consequences it will have!

Kronika is The Keeper of Time and creator of existence: a new boss character in Mortal Kombat 11, drawn to the battle by Raiden's meddling with the timestream. We first saw her in the announce trailer and she arrives at prologue end, with a Story Mode to follow that will take players on a time bending journey!

Mortal Kombat 11 is coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC on April 23rd, 2019! Uncertainty awaits as the gods play dice with time. Share your thoughts and theories about the story and more on the Mortal Kombat 11 forum!

The mysteries of Mortal Kombat 11: The Reveal are almost ready to be unveiled! The international event will take MK11 beyond the initial announcement trailer -- showcasing new characters, celebrity impressions, and the first live exhibition matches!

Mortal Kombat Online will provide live dual coverage from events in Los Angeles and London -- but what's happening? The official schedule has been released. Check it out:

Pre-game hype kicks off across international timezones at 10:30AM PST and 6:30PM GMT. Then NetherRealm Creative Director Ed Boon will give fans the reveal they've been waiting for starting 11:00AM PST and 7:00PM GMT. Both locations will then offer bonus material, with hotly anticipated celebrity guests like Ronda Rousey and Xavier Woods, as well as live music from Dimitri Vegas and DJ sets by Lauren Pope, and Don Diablo!

The hype train is now leaving the station! MK Online plans to provide the easiest method to follow streams from both locations, as well as our own live feed from The Reveal! Test your sight by keeping your eyes on Site Menus and the Mortal Kombat 11 forum to launch our easy to use feed, and share your reactions!

The celebrity guest list for Thursday's Mortal Kombat 11: The Reveal is fast growing, and it looks like there's going to be a heavy contingent from World Wrestling Entertainment! UFC Hall of Famer and current WWE Raw Women's Champion Ronda Rousey has confirmed her itinerary for the Los Angeles event with a post to Instagram:

The invitation I’ve been waiting to accept my whole life. Don’t worry, Earthrealm is safe with me ;) Can’t wait for Thursday! I’ll be there #MK11 @mortalkombat

Speculative rumor persists that Rousey, who has appeared in The Expendables 3 and Entourage, will assume the role of Sonya Blade in the next game. Her attendance at The Reveal confirms nothing, but will no doubt draw interest from fans curious about the safety of Earthrealm.

Fellow WWE Superstar Xavier Woods has revealed he'll cosplay as Shao Kahn at the LA event, attending with on-screen New Day tag team partner, Kofi Kingston, who also showed off his invitiation via Twitter.

Mortal Kombat Online will also be in attendance, sending a split team of roving reporters for dual live coverage from Los Angeles and London! Stay tuned to the Mortal Kombat 11 forum for more updates! Special thanks to MK Online User Detox for suplexing info into our ring.

Mortal Kombat X Mobile took the fight to the streets, and anywhere else you went, but with the impending April release of Mortal Kombat 11, the free-to-play card collecting fighter will adopt a new name to reflect its continued expansions. NetherRealm Studios announced the name change and future update in a message to players via Facebook and Twitter:

With Mortal Kombat 11: The Reveal right around the corner, we want to assure our players that Mortal Kombat X Mobile will continue to be the main game for all Mortal Kombat mobile experiences and content.

To better represent the game and its vast Mortal Kombat character roster, we will be officially updating the name to “Mortal Kombat” with our next release! The Mortal Kombat mobile game will continue to improve and expand in 2019 with lots of new content and new characters. Please stay tuned for more updates in the weeks to come!

MKX Mobile has already already gone beyond the final XL version of Mortal Kombat X, offering exclusive characters and content such as Baraka, Jade, and Freddy Krueger. The switch to a more broad is already befitting, and will no doubt grow moreso as new additions are made in 2019 to coincide with Mortal Kombat 11!

What do you hope to see from the expanded platform? Keep watching the Mortal Kombat 11 forum for updates and discussion about MK Mobile. MK11 arrives for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC on April 23rd.

He's harnessed the powers of a thunder god in WWE Immortals, hosted the unveiling of Firestorm for Injustice 2, and held the Tag Team Championships in WWE! Now Austin Creed, aka; Xavier Woods, is gearing up to don the Emperor's helmet for next week's Mortal Kombat 11: The Reveal event!

The Smackdown wrestler, and host of gaming channel UpUpDownDown, unveiled his Shao Kahn cosplay helmet tonight, via Twitter. He'll be dressed as one of only three characters revealed since the launch trailer, with more unveilings expected to come at the LA and London event!

Wood's helmet is the work of costume designer Mikal Mosley, who has worked with various WWE, Ring of Honor, and Impact wrestlers. Mosley teased an internally lit version of Shao Kahn's trademark warhammer on his own account [pictured above].

The design appears inspired by the final boss' ridged helmet seen in 2011's reboot of Mortal Kombat. Shao Kahn is confirmed to appear in Mortal Kombat 11 as a downloadable pre-order bonus, and has already shown signs of new customizable armor options. You can see his new look in the first official character render.

Mortal Kombat Online will also be attending The Reveal, with two roving teams providing live dual coverage from Los Angeles and London. Stay tuned to the Mortal Kombat 11 forum for more details on the January 17th event!
