Ridley Prime wrote: otherwise what was the point in teasing with Shinnok at the end of MK9? First, because they needed to have something to make the fans think "SEQUEL!!! SEQUEL!!!"

Second, the way the events of MK9 ended was very similar to MK3: the death of Shao Kahn, leaving the way open for Shinnok to make his move.

Third, despite the similarity, the events' change only increased, so its very likely some of the events of MK4 will appear, but far less from the next ones.
