I imagine that with Liu and Kitana watching over the realms, we're going to get a whole new type of Mortal Kombat. Something we've never experienced before. It might even be a bit on the unfair side where the good guys win all the time. Don't get me wrong, I would want the good guys to win at the end anyway but I like a game that throws in a twist like the bad guys winning.

I wouldn't bet on the Kombat Kids yet. I don't doubt the validity of Liu and Kitana eventually getting it on but it's not really set. I'd imagine that NRS would want to introduce those characters in the gameplay.

As far as the revenants go, I'm sure they are now null. With the new timeline happening, we'll find a timeline without revenants.

I also imagine that the next MK will be like a prequel MK game. In my opinion, it would be great to see the Mortal Kombats it took to take over the realms that Outworld took over. I agree that the kids won't appear right out of the gate.

To be totally honest, given NRS's consistent track record of ironically, being inconsistent and changing story direction between installments (i.e 9 and X set up Shinnok and Dark Raiden respectively as prominent players in the following installment which didn't really pay off), I wouldn't be surprise if they drop the idea of Liu Kang (with or without Kitana) remaking history so that things are for the better, or simply come up with some reason to say Liu and Kitana decided to let history run its course and not interfere so they don't have to deal with "X plot development ocurrs that Liu Kang and Kitana would never allow to happen if they're the ones running the timeline".
