The game was released for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S on September 19, 2023.
After defeating Kronika and Shang Tsung, Fire God Liu Kang uses Kronika's Hourglass to recreate the universe before relinquishing control of it to Geras to become Earthrealm's protector. He forms a tenuous alliance with Outworld under the auspices of continuing the Mortal Kombat tournaments. In the present, Liu Kang recruits farmers Kung Lao and Raiden, struggling actor Johnny Cage, and former Yakuza member Kenshi Takahashi to compete in the latest tournament, with Raiden eventually being chosen as Earthrealm's champion and winning the tournament.
Geras meets with Liu Kang, informing him Shang Tsung has returned with help from a mysterious benefactor and is serving as an advisor to Outworld's Empress Sindel. Liu Kang tasks Kenshi, Kung Lao, and Johnny with investigating Shang Tsung's activities. They travel to Outworld's wastelands, where they encounter Tarkatans, victims of the Tarkat virus, and witness Shang Tsung extracting bone marrow from the Tarkatans' leader Baraka. The Earthrealmers intervene, though Shang Tsung escapes to his laboratory. With Baraka's aid, the group locate the lab and stop Shang Tsung from seemingly infecting Outworld's crown princess, Mileena, with the Tarkat virus. However, Mileena attacks them, blinding Kenshi before Shang Tsung injects her with a serum to control her Tarkat symptoms. Her sister, Princess Kitana, and General Shao arrive to capture the Earthrealmers. Shang Tsung misleads them before convening with his ally, Quan Chi. The Earthrealmers are taken to the Flesh Pits, but escape with Reptile's help and encounter Ashrah, who reveals Quan Chi is building devices capable of stealing souls on a massive scale. Though Quan Chi uses several souls to create Ermac, the group defeat them and destroy one of the soul stealers before all except for Baraka return to Earthrealm to warn Liu Kang.
Liu Kang orders Lin Kuei warriors Sub-Zero, Scorpion, and Smoke to destroy the soul stealers and capture Shang Tsung, but they are captured. Shang Tsung sways Sub-Zero to his side by promising him access to the undead Dragon Army, though Scorpion breaks free and escapes with Smoke. After investigating, Geras informs Liu Kang that the benefactor most likely hails a parallel timeline.
With Li Mei's help, Liu Kang travels to Outworld to provide Sindel and her daughters evidence of Shang Tsung and Quan Chi's intent to conquer Earthrealm and Outworld as well as reveal his influence on the current timeline's events. General Shao attempts to ambush the group but fails and are soon captured. The group arrive at the location of the soul stealers; Ermac attacks them, but Mileena defeats him, allowing the soul of her father and Sindel's husband, Emperor Jerrod, to manifest and take control of Ermac's body. The soul stealers are destroyed, and the sorcerers are confronted. The two are joined by their benefactor, "Damashi", who reveals themselves as Shang Tsung; the same one that Liu Kang fought and seemingly defeated prior to the creation of the new timeline. Titan Shang Tsung reveals that the battle for the Hourglass fractured time, creating multiple timelines where a different person defeated Kronika and became a Titan. Intending to absorb Liu Kang's timeline, he summons an army of revenants. Liu Kang's group narrowly drive off Titan Shang Tsung's, though Sindel is fatally wounded and appoints Mileena her successor before dying, with Jerrod absorbing her soul into Ermac.
Forming a temporary alliance with their Shang Tsung and Quan Chi, the former proposes that there could possibly be more timelines, leading to Geras revealing that he had stored Liu Kang's power in case of a dire situation. As the others go to destroy the Dragon Army, Liu Kang regains his power as Keeper of Time and reunites with his friends from the former timeline to recruit forces for the upcoming battle. Titan Shang Tsung sees this and summons an army of their evil counterparts. Following a grueling battle, Liu Kang's group prevails, allowing him to erase Titan Shang Tsung and his timeline from existence. After returning everyone he recruited to their native timelines, Liu Kang returns to his own to congratulate his champions over dinner before departing to assist Scorpion and Smoke in founding the Shirai Ryu clan and prepare Earthrealm for future conflicts.
