I don't think Armageddon is going to happen in the next game. They left a very very juicy storyline with Liu Kang and Kitana being the rulers of Netherrealm. They are definitely going to explore that.

As for Bi Han not being in this game, I'm not entirely convinced he's just "gone". Sometimes characters drop out of the games for a few installments before making some kind of appearance in a later incarnation. I wouldn't be surprised if Bi Han wasn't biding his time somewhere in the Netherrealm looking to take the thrown from Liu Kang and Kitana.

As for there being fewer kombatants this time around, it leaves the way for bringing in NEW characters, so who's to say the roster won't swell to the numbers it did before Armageddon happened? And as like in comic books, who's to say the writers won't bring characters back to life?

Regardless, i stand by what I said earlier. This is a rehashing of the events of the original timeline with different choices making changes in how we come to Armageddon. But, I think, Armageddon is a fateful event for all the reallms, and you know what they say about fate.
