Mortal Kombat 11 is not only about battling other players in multiplayer, but also learning more about the game's universe and most important characters in a proper single-player campaign mode. In the title, the player will have to face Kronika, the highly anticipated fighting game's main antagonist, who has villainous and ambitious plans to create a new era by joining forces with Shao Kahn.
According to
Mortal Kombat 11's Story Director Dominic Cianciolo, the solo mode "
is looking to be around eight hours long," he said in a recent interview with GameReactor "
I can roughly estimate how long the cinematics and everything are, but I can't tell you exactly how long the story mode will be. We did however learn from a representative that the story is looking to be around eight hours long."
Considering that it took about five hours to beat
Mortal Kombat X (and even less to finish the reboot from 2011), it's a pretty good result, obviously if Cianciolo's words are anything to go by.
When it comes to the online component, NetherRealm has confirmed that players will have a chance to battle their friends and strangers as Scorpion, Raiden, Sub-Zero, Sonya Blade, Baraka, Skarlet, Geras, Kano, Kabal, D'Vorah, Jade, Johnny Cage, Cassie Cage, Jacqui Briggs, Erron Black, and Shao Kahn.
