Basically storywise, the next MK game will more likely (I won't say definitely) retain story mode just as it has in the previous games in the past (namely MK 2011 and MK X) where we are split into chapters rather than konquest (I personally favor Story Mode as it is since this game is more of a fighting game rather than the need of exploration). As for characters, we most likely be seeing the return of older characters such as Bo' Rai Cho, Sareena, Hotaru, Havik, Blaze, Taven, etc. As for gameplay wise, the future of variations may be dependant on the number of characters that will be introduced probably. Meaning more characters might strongly mean that characters will go back into just one entire moveset completely.

For the Story, the Main Hero will be a question that we can't predict considering Raiden has gone corrupt, Liu Kang now the Netherrealm, and Cassie Cage (may strongly become) a more supportive character in the game instead. But with new MK games means new characters, meaning we may see a new protaganist altogether. We may also see the return of characters from MK 2011 who we did not possibly see that will likely return such as Jade, Smoke, Cyrax etc. And considering this is a new timeline, the story will possibly proceed to the Armageddon arc. I want to say deception arc, but it's not likely since the Deadly Alliance storyline never happened in this timeline.

Hopefully they decide to add Kai. I really missed that guy, and maybe he'll be a playable character for story mode (By the way where was during Shinnoks attack because I remember he fought with Raiden and the others against him in the original time. Was it because Liu Kang was not alive to tell him? I do remember he came to America to train as a Shaolin because of him.) I definitely agree with you there on Kai. I also hope that Fujin becomes playable. I was disappointed that he didn't make the playable cut this time around.
