Earth, Outworld and the Netherrealm are actually the only realms so far to get exposure. It's time some of the others to get some too, in my opinion.

Chaos realm: This realm has a lot of potential when it comes to stages. It's backgrounds should be weird, disorienting and have subtle deathtraps (if they brought back those). Stage fatalities should also be strange, and leave the victim in bizarre positions. Inhabitants could be featured doing random things. Two potential stages include a decaying prison mentioned by a Seidan in MKD's Konquest mode, and the water supplies section where you fought Hotaru four times.

Seido; I'd like to see what memorable stages NRS could create for that realm, if they put in the effort. Something much better than those backgrounds in MKD's Konquest mode, I hope, though I thought they were alright. But we've definitely not seen the entirety of Seido. Potential stages include the courtroom where the Kamidogu was located (obviously a much bigger and spectacular version of it) and one that feature the pyramid in the background. Seido couldn't be properly represented imo if it didn't appear in at least one background.

Edenia: For a world that is so predominantly featured in the story, it's got almost no background representation save for Blaze's stage in MKA. That gigantic waterfall in MKD's konquest mode should be featured in at least one stage.

Nitara's realm: Having seen absolutely nothing of it, NRS should have plenty of freedom in designing it. It could be mostly gothic, aesthetically, and feature some blood, but neither of these things are required. For all we know, the vampire realm is one of the most technologically advanced realms next to ours, and that could be emphasised upon. If so, a vampire town needs to look different from one of ours.

Invaded/merged stages. Like the urban stages in the last game, and Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale's, where the world you fight in is invaded by another. Earth being invaded by the Chaos Realm, for instance, could feature a golf track, with one of the players trying to get a basketball inside the hole, another trying to swing a club with his feet, two wrestling in a bunker, and one wearing ice skates trying to skate accross the green.

Merged stages would be two realms, perhaps even more, litterally merged together (duh). Imagine the tomb with a city visible in the background.

Zaterra: Khameleon and Reptile's old world. Like Nitara's world, we haven't seen it at all, leaving the door open to possibilities.

To conclude, I'd like a few netherrealm stages to represent the more high-tech side from MKM. It's been a while since we've seen it.

While I like the different realms and dimensions thing, but we don't need too many.

I would mostly like to see more Edenia stuff because those are my favorite characters and it has a lot to do with the main story. I really like the picture of Edenia in the challenge tower in MK 2011. I would like to see them elaborate on that picture a lot more in this potential upcoming game.

There was going to be a Zaterra/Reptile-related stage in Deadly Alliance, the concept art for it is in the Krypt and a version of it actually does exist in the Gameboy version.

It's basically just an ordinary looking swamp with a dinosaur skeleton sticking out of the ground.

But Zaterra is a realm that's merged with Outworld, and it's never been freed, so...there's that.
