Liu Kang was killed i believe. But in MK's defense.
There's no way they're going to write him off Mortal Kombat.
Liu Kang is the Bruce Lee of Mortal Kombat. And all fighting games as you know need a Bruce Lee of some sort.
Also Liu Kang is for the average fighter and they always need someone like that.
I think Liu Kang will come back... I reckon a god who has it in for Raiden will bring him back. Or i'm thinking maybe Shang Tsung will bring Liu Kang back but this time it will be an alliance and not a rivalry.
Shang Tsung is dead too but right. Well I reckon after Sindel met her end Shang Tsung's Soul escaped.
Or maybe Shinnok brings back Liu Kang and Liu sides with him, and Quan Chi.
I'm really curious what they do if they plan on staying true to the events. It's going to suck without Kung Lao though.
