Storyline[]
In restarting the timeline, Liu Kang redesigned the destinies of many kombatants he once knew. In doing so, he made Goro a reliable and trustworthy soldier within Outworld's army under Sindel and Jerrod's rule. Additionally, he is no longer the prince of the Shokan like in previous timelines as well as no longer being a long reigning Mortal Kombat Tournament Champion and instead serves under General Shao, the top General of Outworld's army.
Mortal Kombat 1[]
Goro appears frequently at the General Shao's side during the Earthrealm Champion's mission to retrieve Shang Tsung for questioning for Liu Kang in Outworld. When General finds the Earthrealmers in the Sun Do Festival, along with Ashrah and Syzoth, they manage to escape through a portal back to the Fire Temple, where Goro is knocked out by Johnny Cage on the Champions' way out.
Other timeline variants of Goro appear in the second Battle of Armageddon, one wielding four of Shao Kahn's Wrath Hammer. Many of these variants are later killed, however the current Goro remained in Outworld.
