Mortal Kombat 1 Character Bios Reveal New Lore Details

There are numerous reasons fans are excited about Mortal Kombat 1, and the biggest is the new timeline created by the new Fire God, Liu Kang. At the end of the last game, he got the crown of the Titan Kronika and was able to reset the timeline all the way back to the beginning and create the new world that he felt would be best for all. In the game’s first trailer, we saw a teaser of some of the new “twists” in the game, and now, we have more insight into what some of them mean.

For example, one Twitter user got a hold of the bio for Milenna in the game, and it reveals multiple insights that drastically change her character from the previous timelines:

As you can see, Mileena is no longer an evil clone created through the twisted magic of Shang Tsung and Shao Khan. Instead, she’s a natural-born child who is actually older than Kitana, which is yet another twist in their dynamic. Furthermore, her “disease” is a tie-in to her old self, but a twist in that no one knows about it outside of Kitana. We know she is aware, thanks to a past trailer.

Why does this matter? In the past, Kitana and Mileena have always had a very contentious relationship, but in the trailer for the new game, we see Kitana trying to help her sister keep her throne and not get exposed to her people. This new dynamic could lead to exciting further changes down the line.

Next up, we have the one and only Scorpion, who also had a bio drop and teased new developments in his new “version”:
