Plot
Main article: Mortal Kombat 11's Story Mode
Some time after Shinnok's defeat at the hands of Cassie Cage, Raiden is seen torturing the fallen Elder God in the damaged Jinsei Chamber. The God of Thunder, now with a darker persona due to the Jinsei's corruption, announces to Shinnok that he will no longer have mercy and will destroy Earthrealm's enemies before they can attack the realm. Though Shinnok reminds him that he cannot kill an Elder God, but Raiden retorts that "There are fates worse than death" and decapitates him. Raiden resolves to deliver him to Liu Kang in the Netherrealm as a warning and before teleporting away.

The Keeper of Time, Kronika, appears in the chamber, enraged at Raiden for upsetting the balance of time after the events of Mortal Kombat X. She confronts and tells Shinnok that the Arc of Time bends to her will and that "it's only a matter of time."
Tired of Earthrealm’s defiance, Kronika will bring order to the universe through any means necessary.[1]

Trivia
This is the first game of the current timeline to have no Test Your Luck mode.
This is the first Mortal Kombat game in over 20 years (specifically, since Mortal Kombat 4) to be titled with just a number rather than a subtitle. While the previous entry was the tenth game in the mainline series, Mortal Kombat X, as a Roman numeral, does not count, as all of the marketing referred to the "X" as the letter, not "ten".
Unlike the previous game, character dialogue listings during match introductions do not differentiate as a result of chosen skins, meaning Revenant versions of characters will talk as if they're still Human, and present-iterations of characters can speak as if they're their past-iterations.
However, Scorpion (Hanzo Hasashi), and Sub-Zero (Dimitri Vegas) were the only characters that differentiate during intro dialogue.
This is the first mainline Mortal Kombat title to not feature Quan Chi as a playable character, a fightable enemy or so much as a cameo since his debut in Mortal Kombat 4 in 1997. Although he was not playable in Mortal Kombat Deception, he could still be found and fought in the game.
This game has a massive amount of skins, with everyone from the base roster having at least 60.
This is the first Mortal Kombat game where all playable characters speak during their own Arcade ending.
The Terminator is the only exception to this, Cassie Cage being the one who speaks in his ending.
Between the Story Mode, Krypt and gameplay, many characters use reused audio for either gameplay or cameo appearances in the game from previous games like ''Mortal Kombat (2011)'' and ''Mortal Kombat X''. The additional voices are listed in the cast, with the actors/actress that have their audio reused listed as italicized uncredited (See Above).
This marks the first game in which DLC that is added is also part of the Story Mode.
Additionally, the previously released DLC characters will also have roles in the expansion.
This game has no in-game character bio's. Every game in the main series starting from Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance has had this feature. The official Mortal Kombat 11 website has the official bios instead, which the DC Comics fighting game Injustice 2 had done previously.
