just how different will the Khaos Reigns Dlc from the story? 

Kinda not feeling sub zero and scorpion being siblings.. i like what they're doing with Mileena. I like them giving depth to characters like Li Mei and Reptile but where the hell is Sonya

The datamining show that this DLC will contain 5 chapters as Aftermath. Upcoming chapters : 1. Cyrax 2. Rain 3. Tanya. 4. WW2 Johnny/Scorpion 5. Sektor. During the Lin Kuei attack against the Shirai Ryu at Scorpion & Harumi Wedding Havik will kidnap Bi-Han. That let Cyrax, Sektor, Scorpion and some chaos versions of the roster : Empress Tanya, Emperor Rain, WW2 Johnny battle against Havik for saving Bi-Han. He became possesed by Havik who made him Noob-Saibot with magic. At the end he will be saved and cured at the Temple of the Element (MK SZ Mythologie stage). No news of Reiko succeding to tame Onaga and General Shao trying to use it for now. Emperor Rain die by protecting Empress Tanya. I guess Tanya, Johnny, Rain, Chaos Havik, Kenshi & Takeda are next seasons of Invasions for skin issue. Next kameos locked : Harumi & Chucky (one guest kameo). Rumor : Shinnok, Kintaro*, Nightwolf, Erron Black, Meat, Moloch, Drahmin. Road to MK2 : Fujin, Daegon, Hotaru, Master Kaï *Weird no shokan on the roster including DLC (Goro : MKX, ,Sheeva : MK1...)

Aftermath hurt my feelings. It was good but seeing a future that actually seemed decent, get utterly ruined by Shang Tsung SUCKED. Terribly. Wouldn't be surprised if MK1 Lui has acute PTSD. And you're right. It does feel like they improvise the story everytime. Its like dude, pick a struggle and refine it. Otherwise you risk pulling a mf starwars. That new trilogy was so disjointed between the three. Its easy to write yourself into a dumpster fire, without a legit direction.

that means bye bye Kuai and hello to Hanzo hasashi Scorpion.

3:20 I am playing my first time of mortal kombat X right now and i have completed maybe 60% there is a scene where sub zero invades skorpion for a tea, at lin kuei academy, and shows to skorpion truth about his family thru sektors, or cyrax arm that was taken apart. And subzero was again on controll of Lin kuei (even tho frost tried to kill skorpion while they talked). Its weird that sub-zero was fine with keeping frost when, frost is some random female who probably voluntareed her self to be cyborg, so she can be a kryomancer as well. But she has no skills that she learnt she just went straight for the tech, tells so much about her and why she is one of my least favorite characters. She serves no purpose on any game.

Story director at NRS are kind of old and mix Avengers storylines with recycles old MK ones. That made no sense. This DLC will recycle comic storyline with Havik and the Kamidogus. Lazy NRS. I don't want a Shaolin Monks sequel or remaster if they don't want to work. MK1 feel IA and Fortnite based. It don't feel MK except the roster
