Very good speculations. I'm with you on your speculation that Sareena and Havik will become playable. I had the same thought with Torr as he is someone reincarnated. I have an idea who Torr could be reincarnated from, but I won't say.

Really nice speculation.

10/10.

I seriously hope Sareena is in. Along with other 3D era characters too.

If it's Torr being a reincarnated Shao Kahn with a hood, I don't want to talk about it XD

"Kuai and Sareena make out"

While MK isn't known for showing too much on screen feelings, much less physical interaction between lovers, I really hope those 2 develop a relationship that had a lot of potential in the original timeline and it would be a pitty not to explore it.

One of the reasons I wanted Tag Team making a comeback was the possibility of playing Kuai Liang with Sareena.

(In before FROID comes to say something about Sareena having shit or sperm in her head).

Oooooooooooh, interesting thread!! *cracks knuckles* Let's give this a shot.

- Possible Bosses: Shujinko/Reiko/Fire God Liu Kang/Dark Raiden
Liu Kang & Possible Raiden matches, yes. Shujinko & Reiko? No. Substitute those for Quan Chi & Shinnok and I'd bet that's more accurate.

- Shujinko's Deception story will be mentioned
Mentioned? Possibly as a cameo. Any more than that, doubtful.

- Reiko, Tanya, and Fujin will appear in the game
Agreed. Probably cameo, fighter, fighter.

- Reiko betrays Mileena and succeeds
Think you're wrong on this one. He'll betray Mileena alright but he'll die.

- Jade is murdered by Tanya
Jade's already dead.

- Shao Kahn possesses Ermac
Doubtful. Kahn's soul is already a part of it. It may influence him but I doubt anything more will come of it....for the time being at least.

- Jerrod is inside Ermac
This I think will remain true. He may end up gaining dominance towards the end of the game.

- Ermac will be freed
As mentioned above, yes, I think so.

- Mysterious woman possessing Jade
No, I think Jade is dead for this game and the mysterious woman I believe was deconfirmed, which blows.

- Sub-Zero is both Kuai Liang AND Bi-Han who are separate entities
Eh.....not sold on that entirely to be honest. I think it's Kuai Liang solely.

- Bi-Han is the Champion of the Elder Gods
I think Bi-Han is one of the souls being held onto by Quan Chi.

- Bi-Han is still a dick
Sure, dead souls can still be dicks.

- Kuai Liang kills Sektor and rebuilds Lin Kuei
Entirely possible but I think Sektor may be just a cameo.

- Quan Chi is killed by Scorpion and Sub-Zero
I think Scorpion is gonna be the one to take him out, possibly after help from Kenshi.

- Hanzo and Kuai Liang reconcile their differences
Entirely possible after Kenshi's helping of Scorpion controlling his powers.

- Sareena will be playable
Cameo at best. Probably during the Netherrealm War.

- Sareena frees herself from the Netherrealm
Maybe after the conclusion of the war, but that'll be that.

- Sareena restores Kuai Liang from his cybernetic embarrassment and helps him
I think that'll probably be fixed on its own once Kuai Liang's soul is freed. He'll probably get a human body just from that, I'd imagine.

- Ashrah makes in-game cameo
Entirely possible.

- Ashrah finds Datusha
Doubtful. She may be seen in the Netherrealm War as a cameo though.

- Nitara makes an in-game cameo
Highly doubtful

- Reptile gets it on with Khameleon
Nope.

- Khameleon makes in-game cameo
Khameleon is a Nintendo exclusive MK character, I believe, so no.

- Sonya dies
Eh, I doubt it.

- Jax retires
Possibly. He looks much more older than Sonya. I think being dead took a toll.

- Kano dies (killed by Cassie Cage)
Think you're right on the money with this one.

- Cassie has a romantic/crush interest
Yep, pretty much rumored at this point. Probably Takeda or that Kung Lao relative if he ends up being in the game.

- Raiden dies (killed by Liu Kang)
God, I fucking hope so. For all our sakes. That fuck up needs to go.

- Shang Tsung returns and requests alliance with Kung Lao and Co.
This. I think Shang Tsung will have a hand in helping them defeat Liu Kang. Uneasy alliances for sure but effective ones.

- Kung Lao kills Baraka
Hmmmmm. This may happen but I'm still not sold Baraka is playable in game. Maybe as a cutscene cameo for fans.

- Mileena dies
Entirely possible but if she dies she won't stay dead for long.

- Kitana knows the secret to kill Troll Chi
I think she'll be the one to figure it out or help find out, yep.

- Kitana searches for Liu Kang
Don't think she'll have to search far or for long.

- Kitana becomes QUEEN
Possible.

- Edenia is freed from Outworld
Can it be freed at this point? If not, she may become Empress of Outworld since we know Kotal falls from power.

- Liu Kang is redeemed if dark path is confirmed
Meh. Hope he dies, to be honest. Came off as a know-it-all prick in MK9 despite Raiden's fuck ups.

- Sindel dies permanently
Doubtful.

- Torr is someone reincarnated
Nah, Torr is just Torr.

- Ferra is a leader of a realm
This, however, I think is true.

- Daegon is playable
I'm betting Daegon will be one of the big bads of the comic and will be dealt with accordingly by Kenshi.

- Taven makes a cameo at the end of the game
Doubt it.

- Takeda gets telepathic powers
As according to the web series, yes.

- Takeda finds out about Suchin's death
More than likely, yep.

- Kenshi dies
Don't think so. And not just because I'm a fan either. Their teamwork may be uneasy according to the web series but I think he would end up protecting his father.

- Goro killed by Kotal in comics
Goro's in game for sure, we've seen his model on the Living Towers so if he dies, it'll be in-game.

- Shinnok is briefly betrayed by Troll Chi
More than likely, yep.

- Liu Kang beats up Shinnok severely
If Liu Kang is back, I bet it's by their hands and he's their puppet. So I doubt it.

- Onaga might be reborn
Nah. They won't go this route again. At least, not now.

- Potential female boss in future game
Always possible.

- Archer is of Kotal's race
Entirely possible, just betting he's a random Outworldian though.

- Hanzo/Scorpion sacrifices himself in game
LOL You're joking right? Ed's fav? Neeeeeeeever gonna happen.

- Hanzo/Scorpion reunites with his family and clan in the Heavens
Also neeeeeeeever gonna happen. He has to have a reason to keep going into full fire-breathing ninja mode.

- Moloch dies
Yep, we know this for a fact.

- Erron Black might be in the game
Probably, most definitely.

- Earthrealm and Outworld will be nearly tarnished end-game
They're gonna get fucked up for sure.

- Civilians in story mode will be shown brutally massacred and killed
I hope so. The fact they didn't show any in MK9 during the third act was a big let down. The city felt completely empty and the stakes didn't feel high enough.

- Siege/major battle over Outworld capital city
Probably over whatever the hell the capital is.

- Smoke returns as an Enera
Maybe. Probably as DLC.

- Kabal and Stryker return to the living and back to Earth
Highly doubtful for now. I think Quan will be hanging onto some of those souls for quite a while.

- Kabal will NOT be Black Dragon material
See above.

- Bo' Rai Cho in-game cameo
If Bo is in the game, I bet he'll be playable. If not then you're right, cameo.

- Li Mei in-game cameo
Probably.

- Havik appears playable
Cameo at best.

- Havik plays major role in game
Doubtful.

- Kotal Kahn survives Outworld Civil War
I think he'll survive yes but definitely be de-throned.

- Liu Kang and Kitana FINALLY express their love openly (kissing)
Nah.

- Liu Kang lives with Kitana in Edenia
Bet Liu's gonna go the route of Kahn and die. Again.

- Liutana bear potential offspring
God I hope not.

- Kuai and Sareena make out
Doubt it.

- Cassie reconciles differences with Sonya (Mom)
Totally.

Pretty good list, OP.

I respect the effort and thought you must have put into this, but most of this is either bad fan-fiction or obvious. "Liutana" is just the worst.

"Sindel dies permanently"

How? How does one die permanently in MK? Serious question. Even Shao Kahn getting punished by the god creators of the realms isn't a final death if he manages to possess Ermac. So how is it Sindel dies permanently?

"Erron Black might be in the game."

LOL'd. Possibly the safest prediction one can possibly make.
