possible MK10 story plans by an NRS employee
ok this should be taken with a grain of salt, but a guy syaing he has a minor role in netherealm says these are the plans for mk10:
For some reason my posts got deleted and messed up. Let me post the info I have.
Please take note that this is still a VERY early idea and might change quite a bit over the next few years.
-MK10 will be announced at next years (2012) E3. Probably released around Christmas that year.
-Shao Kahn and Shang Tsung are really dead. Really.
-Noob and Scorpion will team up and forgive each other after finding a common enemy in Quan-Chi.
-Liu Kang will become more of a grey character and less of a straight up good guy.
-Motaro will be back as a slave to Quan-Chi.
-Reptile will play a major part in the story.
-Rain and Tanya will be major villians.
-Edenia exists now. Kahn dying caused a lot of things to happen.
-We will be watching online until the end of the year to see who the 5 least played characters are. They will not appear in MK10.
-Armageddon, Shujinko, Dragon King, etc. will be addressed and dealt with, but do not worry, they won't be prominent. The story from here on out will focus on the invasions and tournaments.
Mark my words.
he later said about edenia : "Kahn had control over it in MK9 and corrupted it, which is a fact that we really just barely touched on. I suppose I worded it wrong (give me a break, I'm tired) but Edenia is now what you expect of it, and it is in a hell of a lot of turmoil with no real royal family left."
and about bosses DLC and reptile : "As far as I know, the bosses will be DLC, just not any time soon. Ed really wants to recreate that fear and respect players used to have for the boss characters. Give it a month or two. Enough time for everyone to beat the story and arcade modes and learn to fear the characters.
As for Reptile, it is like I said - We have plans for him. He really stops being a pawn and starts to form his own small group in an attempt to challenge people in the tournament. We have been joking that his little group will be the other pawn type characters from the game. Round them all up into one neat little group."
