Yeah I Think The Shaolin Monk's Konquest Gameplay Could Really Be Something to Build on From a overhead 3rd Person Perspective like The Krypt View From MK11. Add Regular MK Kombos and Use Stuns or Staggers instead of popup's to fit the realistic point of view.

Well i have to say, if you compare the trailer with a Assassin's Creed trailer,..they really have the same vibe.

Having written that I dont think the main story is a Conquest/ Shaolin style. Sadly I think it think its going to be a MK9, MKX and MK11 style Story mode. But I could be wrong.

Im just hoping the other realms get a little bit of love. I would like to see a rebout of Chaos and Order Realm.

At This Point in time anything Could Happen and We Would Still See it as a Fresh Start so all Hopes to seeing Something Kool and Bangin to kick off the New Era!! I Just Want to see The Wushi Academy in all its Past Glory's of Shaolin's Pinnacle and My Favorite Subzero Outfit.

Dude This Game is Looking Fantastic also The Wushi Academy is Prime!!

It Will Most Likely Be a Konquest Mode From Deception if We get One!!

From what I understand, it sounds like there is a new mode that combines the Konquest mode with the Krypt. I'm guessing they're expanding on the idea of MK11 where the krypt was actually Shang Tsung's island and you played as a random character traveling around. This time around I think it'll be even bigger, maybe it's possible to interact with other characters and do side quests and stuff. But I assume it wil not be in the same continuity as the game's main story much like the Krypt wasn't in MK11.

It seems unlikely that we'll get a Konquest mode similar to the previous ones, because they were the Story Mode of those older games, and MK1 will have the latter. What they could do is, like MortalMushroom said, an expansion of the Krypt with puzzles and its own self-contained plot.

I really wish they would revisit a side-mode with young Shujinko. We know that Lord Liu Kang has replaced Raiden as protector of Earthrealm, but does Onaga still exist? Had he still been betrayed by Shao Kahn, thus needing a 'champion' to hunt the Kamidogu for him? Would Bo'Rai Cho even have needed to train Earthrealm warriors for the Mortal Kombat tournament? A Story Mode with Shujinko would be perfect to fill in those lore gaps. A lot of important events in MKD's Konquest happen before the first tournament, so something similar should be around.
