There are several 3D arenas I would love to see back, but I'm unsure about it as, because of their 3D nature, they might not be able to adapt them in thei full glory.




I really liked the futuristic hell from MKM. I wish they had kept that.

I had my fill in Mortal Kombat 9. Give me some new shit.

The whole point of this level was its interactivity. Without it - its just another arena.

I'd like to see TechnoHell from MKM back, but it seems MK-Team sort of retconned it. MK Hell still has some technological stuff in it (could be seen in MKA), but nowhere near the MKM level, where it looked like a giant city.

I'd prefer mostly new ones...maybe a couple loosely inspired by classics...like a brand new pit or a new portal stage.

I'm pretty done with Living Forest, Dead Pool, and the like. I've had my fill for at least another 2 games.

But I'd love to see some re-worked MK4 - MKA arenas. Specifically: House of Pekara, Shinnok's Throne Room, Krimson Forest, Sarna Ruins, Lin Kuei Palace (indoor and outdoor), Reiko's War Room, and The Waterfront (from MK3).

I find it kind of odd that Shinnok didn't really have a proper throne room until Armageddon. It's due for another turn as a battle ground. He's the king of MK Hell, damn it. He needs a ballin' ass throne room to sit in as he watches lesser beings kill each other for his amusement.

Much like MKDA had new arenas inspired by portal and dead pool.

Plenty of old stages I'd like back, and I like the idea someone mentioned of seeing futuristic versions of them. As for stages I'd like to see brought back, here are some.

All of the urban backgrounds, but if I could only have one, then the bank. We could be fighting in a wrecked version of it, with broken windows and missing walls. It could come with a wrecking ball stage fatality.

House of Pekara
Yin/Yang island
Nekropolis
Shang Tsung's prison (the MKD stage with the imprisoned characters)
Chamber of artifacts
Tekunin Base
Pit 2 and 3
Wastelands, with the catapult death traps from the MKA version.

MKA version of the bell tower, complete with it's stage fatality though just the stage fatality would do. One of the most gloriously sadistic ones in the series.

Kombat tomb
The portal
Warrior shrine
Prison of souls
Elder god chamber (the MK4 stage with the blue wall faces)

Revamped 2D version of the falling cliffs, where the arena gets increasingly smaller, and where fighters could be knocked off even in the middle of the fight, like in MKD.

The Nexus, also with it's own death traps on both ends of the arena.

Shaolin temple, with pillar traps in both ends of the arena.

The Earth God's caverns from MKM, with holes sometimes appearing on the ground that the fighters could fall in.

The mine from MKD, with it's death traps either reconverted into selectable stage fatalities, like in Kratos' stage, or two of them each located on one end the arena, and the third one in the middle, which should still be a stage fatality.

Mainly ones from MKDA to MKA.

I love the idea of some classic areas 25 years later, I think that's a great idea. If they are just modern updates of the levels we've seen X times before, they can leave them.

I'd love to see classics.... WHERE THE HELL WAS THE KOMBAT TOMB IN MK9?!?!?!
Where was the portal?!!?!?!
A 3D Version of The Pit 3 would have been nice too.

I definitely expect at least 3 classics.

The only stage I want constantly returning is The Living Forest. Other than that stages appearing with no context or relevance to the plot or characters actually kind of annoys me and you can't really have a lot of those stages come back without that problem.

PIT 3 and The Portal!
A new Pit arene is very welcome too!

- No stages from MK1-MK3 with the exception of a redesigned Kahn's Throne Room, destroyed and abandoned

- Lost Tomb and Quan Chi's Fortress from MK:DA

- For the rest, only new stages
