Earthrealm City is a large, unnamed metropolis where many people live, and it is one of the regular cities of Earth. This city first appeared in the Mortal Kombat 3 as the central hub of the storylines, and it is a battlefield where Shao Kahn can be found once again and fought. The city in question seems to be or have a very strong resemblance to New York City and Chicago Illinois many areas can be used as arenas, such as the waterfront, streets, subways, city bridges, banks and rooftops.
During the events of the second Mortal Kombat movie and the animated series, the places that the heroes enter have somewhat of a connection to the game and in some cases are virtually the same.
The Earthrealm City later reappeared in Mortal Kombat (2011), being the first target for the Konqueror's invasion, during its Story Mode.
