Everyone has ideas for what they would like a future MK game to be like. But i thought about posting my wishes for next possible adventure games:

Quan Chi and Shinnok. The two bad guys of the Netherealm was a really good idea which i didn't come up with. But storywise and mostly gameplay-wise i would love to see that. Playing with them should be a really interesting blast to say the least.

Johnny Cage and Sonya: I think the time would be right for both of them to go help their comrades trapped in the Netherealm. But the team might want to save that for MK10 i know.

Sonya could end up needing Johnny's help to try and first put her hands on Kano and the black dragons for good, since Jax is dead at the moment.

Nitara and Cyrax: Yes, this is one of my personal favorites since i see the story clearer than the other ones. I'd just take on with their alliance in MKDA.

Nitara could start where she's spotted by Kitana's forces in Outworld as she's spying on them. Kitana is dead but maybe after a game or 2 this one could take place. So after running from them she would cross Cyrax's path. Reptile would make the obvious first character introduced as a boss. From there this is pretty free until they reach the Netherealm imo but a run into the Special forces agents Sonya, Kenshi and Jax would be cool. Having to defeat a tag team with the solo vampire. I would love since Cyrax could still be wondering if he must trust her new comrade.

We could later learn that the Datusha sword has found a new wielder. Ashrah would be the character introduced there obviously as a returning character.

And once in the Netherealm, well the ending could be altered and become all about escaping that realm alive after a failure. Someone sided with good could be against the separation of Nitara's realm from Outworld, fearing that vampires would become bigger threats once freed from enslavment. But in a realm like the Netherealm? Bosses such as Moloch and Drahmin, Quan Chi, Shinnok and Scorpion could be a pain in the ass. Making the protagonists more concern about their lives at the very moment than the primary mission. With the 2 surviving, but failing at the task it could open doors for the future.

I think i would also be interested in a Black Dragons VS Red Dragons war. Kano lived after all. Could be cool to see how this man would recruit characters such as Kira or Kobra. Or try to help Kabal in order to take is revenge on both the special forces agents and the opposing Red dragons that want his head on a plate. Mavado, Hsu Hao and Daegon could be reintroduced as the bad guys and developped a little more.

I'm aware that these ideas could be risky, and it is probably a good reason to avoid going there. I doubt the games would sell a lot and it could turn up as a disaster but i really wish NRS would dare doing something like that if only they would allow themselves to do.

I would agree with someone saying that all these ideas would also fit as chapters for the new MK10-MK11 games though.
