Mortal Kombat is set to reboot itself once again with the upcoming Mortal Kombat 1, but as this series has taught us in the past, that doesn’t necessarily mean it’ll be a completely fresh slate. Though it’s set in a new timeline, Mortal Kombat 1 will continue to build on the long-running narrative threads of the franchise in various ways, from new twists on familiar elements to perhaps even some specific elements being brought back into the new timeline, which means a knowledge of past games’ narrative events is bound to enrich your experience in the upcoming fighter.

To that end, we present to you the most comprehensive story recap you’ll see of the entire Mortal Kombat franchise. In recent weeks, we have published four parts of what was originally supposed to be a six-part series of recap videos covering the entire franchise. Here, however, we have compiled all four of those parts, and added on the final two parts, which you haven’t yet seen, to provide a complete and thorough breakdown of everything that happens in the franchise, starting with the original game, and going up to the very end of Mortal Kombat 11 and its DLC, Aftermath.
