Tremor: I see him as a one-off character with not much going for him in gameplay. I think if he's expanded on in the story and well received, he would work better off as DLC again.

Noob Saibot and the Netherrealm stuff: for story purposes, I would have it so that Noob absorbed the power of all those souls from the Soulnado, kind of like a godly Ermac with Noob powers. as a followup to his MK9 ending, I would have him somehow resurrect Havik with a new body due to their previous alliance and have them come together for a force. then he would, by force, take Netherrealm from Liu and Kitana and pretty much serve as a new Quan Chi. keep in mind though, he is only a secondary antagonist. as for the revenants that are life, Noob wouldn't throw away an opportunity for legendary kombatants as generals.

Kotal Kahn and the united Outworld forces: as I briefly mentioned, he somewhat saves Goro (giving him new arms via flesh pits) and offers him power in exchange for Shokan trust. like, help him overthrow Sheeva's rule of the Shokan (since the alpha is the leader). as for the Tarkata, they think Mileena's gone and they owe the "true leader" their loyalty. they have no one else to follow other than Kotal now.

Kai: retcon his whole character as if he's new. it's always going to be better off that way.

Kira: a veteran in the Black Dragon, handles everything while Kano is off doing his own thing. now she has no other option but to tag in with him.

Shujinko: dead or non-canon, doesn't really matter. there's no place for him in this timeline anymore.

Goro: uneasy alliance (in the timeskip) but eventually a strong, stable alliance. Kotal saved Goro, he helps Goro take back the Shokan under his rule (now as king), Goro offers himself and his forces to Kotal as gratitude.

Edenia: another timeskip issue. I would have it handled in the comic. like a political dispute. have it be retconned so that Edenians are the highest percent of the Outworld population. for the other realms, they were pretty much decimated by Shao Kahn. now, it's either this, or Rain and Tanya form a new Edenia WITHIN Outworld (against Kotal) and Sindel takes it down to restore balance.

Quan, Shang and Shao: it would be a big deal for them to return. they're classic MK characters and have shaped the universe in big ways. Shao Kahn, if anything, would be a huge deal, being a classic boss and all.
