When Mortal Kombat 4 underperformed, Ed Boon and John Tobias knew they needed to do something bold for the follow-up, which led to them killing off the central hero, Liu Kang.

Madam Bo joins Mortal Kombat as a Kameo Fighter on March 18, 2025. Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns expands Liu Kang’s New Era with a new story campaign and an all-new cinematic experience.

Mortal Kombat 1 will introduce a reborn Mortal Kombat Universe that has been created by the Fire God Liu Kang, featuring reimagined versions of iconic characters as they’ve never been seen before.
