Following and focusing are not the same things. If the Story Mode will follow Kotal's rise and fall, that means the Story Mode will present these facts, and they will happen with some importance in the game, but not necessarily the entire Story Mode's focus.

Ed Boon said: I won't give away the story, but a lot of these characters come in and out of power over the course of the story. As he said himself, other characters will have the power besides Kotal Kahn.
