I really hope Ed Boon isn't just bringing more classic characters back because of fan complaints or to stay "tied" to the original MK Trilogy. The new timeline looked very promising, but these are very important plot holes that need an answer and so far we haven't gotten shit. I can only come up with three possible answers and they are just as questionable as the next.


 * 1) Raiden somehow got her, Kung Lao's, and (possibly) Sub-Zero's soul out of Quan Chi's control through some loop hole in the necromancer's agreement with Shao Kahn and fully resurrected them with help of the Elder Gods.
 * 2) This isn't the original Kitana, but someone claiming to be her. Now this could mean another Edenian took her identity as Princess of Edenia or that Shang Tsung made a exact clone of her before Mileena and forgot about her when Shao Kahn wasn't please with his creation.
 * 3) This is actually Mileena who has taking Kitana's identity and has become "good". It has been shown in both timelines that Mileena has been mistaken for Kitana and they both would've received similar training, so the developers decided to go with that approach. The reason she has taken her sister's identity now could be for several reasons: she wanted to rule Edenia after Shao Kahn's death while everyone else fought over Outworld; because of her child-like mentality, she went insane after her father's and sister's death and now believes she's Kitana; or despite her sinister and cruel behavior, she truly did love her sister in the new timeline and took her name in honor of her.

Like I said, each of these are unlikely, but are the only answers I can think of. I'm just hoping we get some realistic answers and Ed Boon isn't just pulling shit out of his ass. Dude, frikin' chill. It seems that if the dead characters are coming back, Quan Chi must've lost some of them somehow. I mean if Shao Kahn agreed to give Quan Chi the souls of the Earthrealm defenders and then he died, wouldn't that somehow screw that up? I'm going with your first theory.
