This thought kinda just struck me, actually.

Since the game expands through 25 years, it kinda sounds like NRS are looking to wrap up the MK storyline for good. Many of the MK characters are either immortal or have long lifespans, but the human characters will eventually be replaced with the next generation. Cassie Cage is just one example of such.

So either MKX is the last game of the series, or the next MK will have the human characters replaced with new characters. That means goodbye to Sonya, Johnny, Kung Lao, Liu Kang, Sub-Zero, Kabal, Kano, Stryker, Nightwolf, Jax, Kenshi, Frost, Jarek, Hsu Hao, Kira, Kobra, Kai and Shujinko.

Alot of these characters probably won't even be in MKX, so I think MKX is the game preparing us to say goodbye to these characters... forever.

Is MKX the next game or maybe preparing us for a whole new generation of MK characters? What do you think?

If it bombs then yea! hopefully not though.

I dont think this is a the end of a chapter but the start of new one!

If the MK series ever does end, I hope we get an MKT/MKA style roster. (maybe omitting a few characters Hsu Hao, Jarek etc)

It's funny that YOU are calling ME ignorant. XD
My point is, Sub-Zero is a human mortal which means he will eventually die of age if not killed first. Unless he fathers a child with ice powers, there won't be another Sub-Zero. Not even Sub-Zero is immortal.

Of course, if there will be another game, there will be another Sub-Zero somehow. I'm sure in some future game, Kuai Liang will father a son who will take on the mantle and continue the legacy.

Sub-zero isnt one person idiot. a new person assumes that role after the next. weather is Bi Han, Kuai Liang, or Santa Clause its still sub-zero.

Did not Ed Boon say in one of the E3 videos that the Lin Kuei had a "sea of Sub-Zero's". I am inclined to agree with squirt. Sub-Zero is just a place holder name.

You really aren't a nice person, huh...



Sub-Zero is a title in the Lin Kuei clan given to someone with ice powers. So far, the current Sub-Zero's come from ONE bloodline, the family of Kuai Liang and Bi-Han. The only other confirmed character with ice powers outside of that bloodline is Frost.

However, if Frost doesn't make it and the bloodline dies out, then there won't be a next Sub-Zero to take on the title. That said, I'm sure NRS will come up with some excuse for there being another Sub-Zero.

xysion Wrote:
That contridicts what Ed Boon says. The Lin Kuei have many other warriors with ice powers which can all be call "Sub-Zero". I think Kuai Liang would die but then others will replace him as Sub-Zero. Kuai Liang's story will be finished per se but not Sub-Zero.

And such people are example of why we can never have good things.
