I remember that they were going to do a series of Mythology games which started with Sub-Zero and some of continued with Jax. They could do a Raiden game where it's Raiden versus Shinnok at the end an maybe have him, as well as the other gods, go up against the One Being. I liked Sub-Zero Mythologies once I got past the learning curve, became accustomed to my own customized controls, and knew how to deal with the questionably designed platforming, but the game wasn't well received, understandably. It had some good ideas on paper but the RPG elements and such definitely could've been better utilized. It marked the end of the digitized actors as 2D sprites era, which was a shame... And Special Forces, being what it was, was the final nail in the coffin for the series of solo Mythology games they had planned. I too would've liked to see it continue though with them learning from and improving upon their past experiments, but since those games didn't do well at all, it wasn't meant to be. I'm just glad the Sub-Zero game got to remain canon even with the new timeline, since I like how it tied in the the backstory between Scorpion and the original Sub-Zero, and Shinnok's menace before MK4 & X.

That idea for a Raiden title does sound pretty cool, but by this point I'll just say they were pretty lucky Shaolin Monks even resonated that well with fans.
