Q: What is the distinction between the new Mortal Kombat 1 and the original Mortal Kombat game?

A: The new Mortal Kombat 1 is a reboot of the franchise and not a direct remake of the first game. While it introduces a new universe with new twists on established characters, it doesn't parallel the events of the original Mortal Kombat. The characters and their relationships have been reimagined, creating a fresh start for the series.

Q: Are there any connections between Mortal Kombat 1 and Mortal Kombat 11?

A: Yes, there is some continuity. Characters like Liu Kang and Geras are aware of the events of Mortal Kombat 11. Liu Kang, as the Keeper of Time, shaped the universe of Mortal Kombat 1. Geras, existing outside of time, has knowledge of the events that preceded. Some other characters also have knowledge about Mortal Kombat 11's events, but these are revealed later in the story mode.

Q: Did Ed Boon share insights about the purpose behind this reboot?

A: Ed Boon, the series co-creator, described Mortal Kombat 1 as the start of a new universe. It's not a continuation of the Mortal Kombat 11 story. Boon emphasized that the characters in this reboot follow different rules and have new relationships, marking it as a brand-new beginning for the franchise.
