Yep. That's my theory too. Though I think there was a scene in the trailer in which the Earthrealm warriors were surrounded by Kotal's warriors, as if they'd been ambushed.

I don't doubt Liu Kang will be the hero again. Like I said before, he ins't so selfish to let his grudge with Raiden keep him from helping Earthrealm, is he? But I'd honestly like to see how he would be as a villain. Not being controled by Quan Chi, but as an actual bad guy you know. Even the MK developers seem to be a little tired of him being the hero everytime, so they've been trying to introduce new protagonists in every game since Deadly Alliance, and even turned him an antagonist in MK9 (at the end of story mode and at Shang Tsung's arcade ending) and in Legacy.

I don't approve everything they've been doing to keep Liu Kang from being the hero, specially killing him and then turning him into a zombie. But I'd really like to see where that would lead to. What if Liu Kang actually became an antagonist, like in Legacy? Not saying I'm betting he will be one in MKX, but who knows in a future game? Well, that's just what I think.
