Mortal Kombat 1’s trailer opens with Liu Kang explaining his decision to create a “blank canvas” where people are free to choose whether to live in peace or in combat. So, while technically a sequel to 11, Mortal Kombat 1 is also a soft reboot of the lore, making it far easier for newcomers to come in without having to worry about all the timeline/time travel elements introduced in 9, 10, and 11. If you haven’t been following the admittedly complex and somewhat convoluted lore, the gist is that Fire God Liu Kang beat both Shang Tsung and Kronika at the end of the DLC and reset the entire timeline back to the beginning. The announcement trailer for Mortal Kombat 1 sets up the scenario for the game following the story events of Mortal Kombat 11’s Aftermath DLC. No release date has been attached to Mortal Kombat 2.Mortal Kombat 1 - Official Announce Trailer | PS5 Games

Before she’s set to dish out fatalities, she will first hit the big screen as one of the leads in the Hellboy: The Crooked Man reboot. Rudolph rose to prominence in her role as one of the Weird Sisters on Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, and was later given screentime in Riverdale and Netflix’s Resident Evil series. Bennett Walsh are hopping onboard as producers. James Wan, Michael Clear, Todd Garner, McQuoid, and E. The Boys and Star Trek star Karl Urban will reportedly lead the roster as Johnny Cage, with Jeremy Slater serving as screenwriter. Simon McQuoid, director of the previous movie based on the popular fighting title, is returning to the helm the project. Rudolph’s outing marks a fitting reunion with Gabrielle, who portrays fan favourite Jade - whom Kitana shares a close bond with - in the movie. Known for her cutthroat steel fans, Kitana debuted in the Mortal Kombat II video game, released in 1993, before becoming a franchise staple and one of the series’ signature characters. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the actor will be joining Tati Gabrielle, her co-star on the Netflix series, in the upcoming sequel to 2021’s Mortal Kombat. There are now two Chilling Adventures of Sabrina breakout stars in Mortal Kombat 2, as Adeline Rudolph has been cast as the assassin Kitana.
