Mortal Kombat Guía y cronología
Earth's defenders enter fights whose stakes reach far beyond the tournament arena. Mortal Kombat gives its martial artists, gods and rival clans a tangled history of grudges, realm-spanning wars and attempts to rewrite fate. The games reset that history more than once, while live-action and animated films tell separate versions of the battles.

Mortal Kombat 1 is a later reset, not the 1992 original. The 1995 and 2021 live-action films also begin different film continuities.
Overview & recommendation
Mortal Kombat turns tournament rivalries into wars over the fate of entire realms. Its fighters carry grudges across deaths, resurrections and rewritten histories, so a familiar name does not always mean that you are meeting the same version of a character.
The first useful choice is between the games and their adaptations. Within the games, the original Midway story leads toward Armageddon, while the 2011 game revisits that history and begins the modern sequence. The films and Legends animation tell versions of the conflict that can be watched separately.
Choose Rebooted Games and Release order for the modern story, beginning with the 2011 Mortal Kombat. Play each main campaign before its story expansion. Choose Original Games for the earlier history, or select one film branch for a shorter introduction.
Realms Rewritten, Adaptations Apart Original games, modern resets and separate screen versions
Rebooted Games follows the sequence through another New Era in Mortal Kombat 1. Original Games covers the earlier continuity. The two live-action groups distinguish the 1995 pair from the 2021 film and its sequel, while Legends gathers the animated films.

A Mortal Kombat Story Route 21 entries
The modern campaigns build toward the next change in history. Keep Aftermath after Mortal Kombat 11 and Khaos Reigns after Mortal Kombat 1; neither is a replacement for its base game's story.
