Sure. But take in mind that I know what a multiverse is. The explanation doesn't tell me whether MKvsDCU was designated by the creators as non-canon though.

Maybe if I ask a different question in conjunction to your explanation. Is MKvsDCU like Marvel vs. DC where it was its own universe or can MKvsDCU be considered a part of Original Timeline lore?

If it's the latter then it makes sense that MKvsDCU was the 8th official game in the series. Otherwise, they went from MK1, II, 3 (plus Ultimate and Trilogy), 4 (plus Gold), DA being 5 (plus TE), Deception being 6 (plus Unchained), and Armageddon being 7 to just jumping into MK9 and now we have MKX (10). The adventure games were considered prequels and SM was considered non-canon. I'm just really confused by the fact that we have Mortal Kombat 8 being MKvsDCU and yet it's non-canon. Another question; why would Boon make MKvsDCU, call it MK8, and it just isn't a part of the universe? It just doesn't make sense. uS
