Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath Expansion Adds New Fighters, Stages, And More Story

NetherRealm Studios' Mortal Kombat 11 recently celebrated its first anniversary, and now the evolving fighting game will see its next round of new content. Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath, the first expansion of its kind for the franchise, will add three new fighters to the roster, along with new stages, stage fatalities and friendships, and, unexpectedly, more story content.

Releasing on May 26 for PC, PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and Stadia, Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath will mark the beginning of year two content for NetherRealm's fighting game. For the first time in the series, Mortal Kombat will see an expansion to the game's existing main story, which will bring recurring antagonist Shang Tsung to the forefront. Set immediately after MK11's conclusion, which saw Liu Kang ascend to Godhood and defeat Kronika, he and Raiden seek to create a new and better timeline for all realms. However, Shang Tsung and his allies Nightwolf and Fujin intervene, revealing a greater threat is at play.

The new epilogue storyline for Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath will introduce much of the new content coming to MK11, which includes revisits to classic stages like MK2's Dead Pool and MK3's Soul Chamber. In addition, Aftermath will bring back stage fatalities and friendships, which will end grotesque matches on a much lighter note. Friendships have been absent from the series since 1997's Mortal Kombat Trilogy, so this is the first time in over 20 years that the alternate finishing move has been in a Mortal Kombat game. While these new additions will arrive with Aftermath, the new stages and friendships will be available for all players later as a free update.
