Trivia

 * An event known as the NetherRealm War is mentioned and is implied to tie-in to the restoration of the human forms of all those enslaved by Quan Chi.


 * The scar Sub-Zero receives from Kano is a reference to the scar Kuai Liang received in the original timeline. Whether this is a hint or a red herring to the identity of the Sub-Zero in the game is unknown at this time.


 * A batarang can be seen mounted on the wall of weapons in the panel before Raiden teleports in front of Scorpion.


 * Scorpion's wife and child receive the canon names of Kana and Jubei from the Mortal Kombat: Legacy series.
