Mortal Kombat Trilogy

The first title in the franchise to skip an arcade release, Trilogy built on the strong foundation of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3.

It re-introduced a number of kombatants that had been absent for some time, as well as a number of arenas from the first two games. The Aggressor bar made its first and only appearance; kombatants who filled their bar were granted a temporary boost to their speed and attack damage.

Thousands of years ago an order of the wisest men from the far east received visions of the dark realm known as the Outworld. It was a world ruled by chaos and a vicious emperor known as Shao Kahn.

They learned that travel between Earth and the new found realm would someday be possible if the conditions were right, the conditions being the unbalancing of the furies — negative and positive forces which keep our unstable universe from collapsing onto itself.

Knowing that an Outworld invasion was imminent, the wise men appealed to the Elder Gods. It was for this reason the Elder Gods created the tournament called Mortal Kombat.

For nine generations Mortal Kombat was ruled by Outworld’s finest warrior — prince Goro. The Earth was on the brink of its destruction when a new generation of warriors were victorious in defending its realm.

The warrior monk, Liu Kang, would become the new champion. But his victory was short lived as he and his comrades find themselves lured into the Outworld to compete in a second tournament.

Little did they know that the tournament was merely a diversion. A scheme devised by the dark Emperor to break the rules set forth by the Elder Gods and witness the reincarnation of his former queen Sindel on the Earth Realm itself.

The unholy act gives Shao Kahn the power to step through the dimensional gates and reclaim his queen, thus enabling him to finally seize the Earth.

These are the trilogy of events which comprise Shao Kahn’s final attempt at taking the Earth.
