Kahn's Arena

In Outworld, Shao Kahn has his own arena where the Emperor will sometimes battle opponents himself. There are literally hundreds of spectators that come to see their emperor crush opponents in battle. When not battling, Shao Kahn observes the fight from his throne.

Sonya Blade and Kano were captured and held here in Mortal Kombat II as prisoners forced to observe the vicious battles that took place to the delight of the blood thirsty crowd and Shao Kahn himself when not competing. Kahn's Arena also reappeared in Mortal Kombat Trilogy, however due to Sonya and Kano being playable they were removed from the background.

While this arena originally premiered in Mortal Kombat II, it has been overhauled for Mortal Kombat: Armageddon. The new arena now has four Death Traps of various flavors: twin crushing gears, both acid and lava baths, and a pike-laiden pit.

This is the arena where players battle with Shao Kahn and Kintaro in MKII and Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks.
