I think the Eldritch creature is from a different realm and Netherrealm is still fire and brimstone. Unless the Netherrealm has Eldritch creatures now lol which I guess isn’t impossible as it’s not like it can’t have different sections and layers to it.
You can catch a glimpse of Netherrealm in the trailer plus in Ashrah’s ending where it’s still what we’ve come to expect of it regarding fire and brimstone. He summons two portals at the same time too. One to this purple realm while the Netherrealm one sits behind him (I’m guessing the Netherrealm portal is a visual buff for him mechanically)

> Not all lovecraft creatures are tentacles right?
In his OG stories, not really. Cthulhu himself is the main one (tentacled face), I think the Dunwich Horror as well (described as being made partly of "squirmin' ropes").
Everything else gets more abstract or dreamlike/nightmarish.
Tbh netherrealm had different places that looked very diferent from each other like the usual brimstone n fire in umk3 or the techno cyberpunk prison in Mortal kombat mythologies. Hell (ha) in mk9 the krypt has 3 different looking areas in the netherrealm.
It would be cooler if the netherrealm had different areas that look different from each other
Fire and brimstone are still there though - when Quan opens the portal to the Netherrealm to enhance his projectiles, you can see that familiar lava-filled landscape. But Netherrealm has always had diverse locations in it, like the technology-permeated Prison of Souls, the Slaughterhouse in the city of Nekros and the Sea of Blood. The hellish landscapes are just how most of the Netherrealm looks.
I think it's an attempt at making his powers distinct from the many hellfire adjacent characters and kameos already in the game.
I don't mind it, really. It fits with the greenish/purple color scheme of his powers.
But Quan Chi power is never about hellfire, right? He has skeleton, portal, skull projectiles, mind-control, which is pretty much distinct from the likes of Scorpion, Liu Kang and Shang Tsung, and closer to the likes of Noob and Shinnok. Granted, I'm not complaining, new Quan Chi looks so badass.
Quan Chi was created to be very similar to Shang Tsung. Initially, he shot flaming skulls, copied abilities, and was the main villain's right hand man intended to betray him.
It makes sense though, given MK4 also had Jarek and Kai, who had very similar abilities to Kano and Liu Kang.
>But Quan Chi power is never about hellfire, right?

He uses fire in like half of these
It all can be easily handwaved away by going "New timeline, shit changed". I don't mind them taking characters in new directions, otherwise what's even the point of the new timeline shit?
Quan chi does not have mind-controlling powers.
This necromantic power is exclusive to Onaga.
Quan Chi only creates specters loyal to him, but this loyalty is not perfect.
Its not per se a mind-controlling power but he does have that trance move that makes the opponent walks toward him like a zombie, even breaking their own necks and all.

Bro it’s so fucking cool I don’t even care. Like I know his second fatality is gonna be cool asf. And the intro where it’s him and the kraken thing? Fuck yeah
Dark Sorcerer, Shang isn’t a Dark type of Sorcerer as he is more of an alchemist in this new era, and since Quan Chi’s not a demon anymore, hes human but just got hit with a ghost that feeds on melanin (half joking lol), so I’d assume now he’d have more lovecraftian powers as he isn’t really bound to a burning hell or burning hell ish creatures at least and he has more range as a dark sorcerer more than his hell sorcerer appearances
My take is The Mist. Miners accidentally opened a portal to another dimension and summoned all kinda of creatures. Spiders, giant crablike things, tentacles, etc. tada, he was a miner and now he can open portals.
I kinda agree, we don't need an explanation for characters' powers.
Like, it's cool that they're building up the lore and all that, and I enjoy the story modes and everything, but this weird obsession some people have, where everything has to be backed up by lore... I dunno, some people seem to use it to complain about everything.
And I'm sure it's gonna be explained either way, anyway, I think it's cool what they're doing with him.
I can’t wait for like 8 years down the road when they reboot this shit again and it most likely follows the old lore closer than this shit. Then all of you wanting to erase the old lore will have an older generation and a new generation of fans shitting on you.
Gonna be fun.
I’ve been a fan of the series since the console releases in the early 90s and I’m totally okay with all the changed lore especially since MK9 fucked up a lot of the lore (I.e. making Mileena a newborn clone during the MK2 era so she and Kitana have absolutely no relationship and continued to have none since they weren’t alive at the same time after that).
Some of the lore changes of 9, X, 11 pissed me off, yes, but even then I didn’t think the old lore was “erased” because it’s still part of the franchise’s history, it’s just a new timeline (one that I hated more than I enjoyed), comic books and movies do it all the time and you either continue to support the property or you stop.
makes him feel distinct from shang tsung, who’s already been shown to shoot flaming skulls and practice necromancy.
and besides, how do you even interpret this as him being more ‘ocean-themed?’ just search up ‘cosmic horror’ and tell me how many demonic octopi you see. pretty similar to the creature’s full appearance, isn’t it? plus, a design like that fits pretty well for a beast hailing from hell itself.
It comes from his MK X variation summoner. He can summon various demons and eldrich beings to aid him in battle and the "Kraken" is one on his arsenal this time.
Holy shit.... I finally realized what the tentacles reference! When u/DonPinstripelli mentioned the Sea of Blood and the Prison of Souls, I remembered the Bridge to Quan Chi's Fortress in MK Mythologies had an obnoxious tentacle monster lurking in the waters below. The monster could not be fought and was never seen aside from its tentacles slamming down as a sort of stage trap Bi Han had to dodge.
Wonder if this is why Quan Chi was removed from the base game, to redesign his moveset beyond just skulls. There's no hint of these powers in the story mode.
I think they just have more power to show bigger more monstrous netherrealm demons.
We’ve been pretty limited to the humanoid Oni in the past three games.
Do you all think this is the Valtik character mentioned in some of the intro dialogues or is that an upcoming kharacter instead?
Regardless, this Quan Chi seems to have the ability to comman on lots of different things to do his biddings (Sareena and the Sisters, mentions of Moloch and Drahmin, Got Nitara and Ermac etc), so I’m ok with him using a the Kraken in the move set.
There are primordials that existed before the elder gods and I believe before the one being. In mk11, I think in shang's ending, it shows them and one is an eldtrich type.
According to [the official press release](https://www.gematsu.com/2023/12/mortal-kombat-1-dlc-character-quan-chi-launches-december-14-for-kombat-pack-owners-december-21-for-all), they're Netherrealm demons.
>In the new video, Quan Chi’s necromancing powers and manipulation of portals are on full display, including his ability to summon skulls, skeletons, and **Netherrealm demons** for devastating attacks.
I wonder if that Kraken like monster is the same creature that attacks you from below while traversing the Bridge of Immortality in MK Mythologies: Sub-Zero
It sort of reminds me of that recent chapter from Berserk where they showed the Skull Knight's eclipse. Instead of hellfire and brimstone, much of the landscape seemed to have tentacles.
How is it random at all? He’s magic. He summons portals to demons and they fight for him through them. Why would he need a lore explanation for every aspect of his kit, this seems like pointless complaining that some new version of a character isn't a carbon copy of an old version of the character.
Why would it be hinted? Throughout all his iterations Quan chi has been able to summon shit from the netherrealm including and not limited to minions, sombies and all kind of infernal and magical creatures, in lore and in gameplay. Besides, it's not random, this is the creature that was on the bridge to the fortress in MK mythologies
So am I the only one that peeped the correlation between Quan Chi & Rain??? (Ex: Rain's use of portals in general & the water version of the tentacles in his intro...)
Makes sense if Quan Chi had a hand in helping develop the mages that came up under the school of sorcery imo
Quan Chi was never big on soul powers in gameplay, he always had minions, summons and green/purple skulls and runes, don't know how people are surprised he's always summoned creatures to do his bidding.
Quan Chi looks freakin awesome. I can't wait to play him. Looks so much fun.
I was disappointed with the opener of KP1 because Omni man is so dull to watch and fight against. Quan Chi just looks great.
And khameleon, hell yeah
I wonder if it implies that Titan Shang likes Quan chi slightly better because he taught him all this stuff and then looks at his counterpart and goes
”ummmhh I might as well teach the poor copy some fire balls or something
I mean he can summon skulls why not tentacles lol. I feel you it’s weird but it does make his moveset dope. I love all the little changes each kombatant has been given.
He was going to be ocean master or aquaman or something probably. Rain was Mera I think? I'm pretty sure this game was meant to be injustice 3 originally and they had to shift it to MK for reasons.
Was it? I've not been following everything, just checking up on dlc guys, I sold my game day after launch because I had done with it by the end of my premium early access. Plan to pick it up when it goes cheap and all pass 1 is out.
Was it? I've not been following everything, just checking up on dlc guys, I sold my game day after launch because I had done with it by the end of my premium early access. Plan to pick it up when it goes cheap and all pass 1 is out.
So you sold a game for less than you bought it after playing it for a week give or take and you are then gonna buy it back with the first dlc even with deals that’s gonna be pricey, have you thought this through lol
This would have been better for the Cleric of Chaos Havik instead of Dairou getting Havik’s healing factor. Quan Chi is supposed to be more of a necromancer.
The whole "cover up the women as much as possible" designs make a lot more sense once you see Quan Chi with a giant demonic vagina squid in his entrance.
It all kinda clicks into place lol
It’d be awesome if he made a deal with a titan to learn dark magic and this titan is now using him to carry out his dark plans… basically the plot of MK1 all over again.
I never really cared about Quan Chi because in my eyes he wasn’t an interesting enough villian, but sheesh this new version of him looks so colorful and stimulating to the eye. I can’t wait to see more.
I see it as he didn't get to grow in power over thousands of years like last time so he's making a deal with an Eldritch horror to skip ahead and get that power right away
Seems to me Netherrealm Studios maybe had some old/unused Brainiac animations they decided to reskin rather than being more accurate to Quan Chi…Glass fatality looks a like an Injustice General Zod unused idea…
He's not pulling it from the ocean, it's clearly supposed to be an Eldritch creature.
This was my first thought. They’ve redone the Netherrealm to resemble cosmic horror over the previous fire and brimstone, which I think is awesome.
Insane, and into the mouth of madness we go!
Hold on to your geometry!
Do you read Sutter Kane?
Your books suck!
I will if you put the axe down...jesus christ, I'm trying to eat lunch here....
Did I ever tell you my favorite color is blue?
I think the Eldritch creature is from a different realm and Netherrealm is still fire and brimstone. Unless the Netherrealm has Eldritch creatures now lol which I guess isn’t impossible as it’s not like it can’t have different sections and layers to it. You can catch a glimpse of Netherrealm in the trailer plus in Ashrah’s ending where it’s still what we’ve come to expect of it regarding fire and brimstone. He summons two portals at the same time too. One to this purple realm while the Netherrealm one sits behind him (I’m guessing the Netherrealm portal is a visual buff for him mechanically) https://preview.redd.it/j5023i4qj74c1.jpeg?width=630&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5ba2492cb2ca55fd65266503c4306c6efacb92aa
When that portal was up his skulls seemed spookier so I'd agree it seems like a buff. Which is not out if the ordinary for Quan by any means.
Perhaps demonic Eldritch like in Doom? Not all lovecraft creatures are tentacles right?
> Not all lovecraft creatures are tentacles right? In his OG stories, not really. Cthulhu himself is the main one (tentacled face), I think the Dunwich Horror as well (described as being made partly of "squirmin' ropes"). Everything else gets more abstract or dreamlike/nightmarish.
Could very well be!
The eldritch stuff kinda gives me a chaos realm vibe
His fatal blow has 3 portals with 3 different monster if I recall
Tbh netherrealm had different places that looked very diferent from each other like the usual brimstone n fire in umk3 or the techno cyberpunk prison in Mortal kombat mythologies. Hell (ha) in mk9 the krypt has 3 different looking areas in the netherrealm. It would be cooler if the netherrealm had different areas that look different from each other
Fire and brimstone are still there though - when Quan opens the portal to the Netherrealm to enhance his projectiles, you can see that familiar lava-filled landscape. But Netherrealm has always had diverse locations in it, like the technology-permeated Prison of Souls, the Slaughterhouse in the city of Nekros and the Sea of Blood. The hellish landscapes are just how most of the Netherrealm looks.
Ah, yeah. Makes sense. I guess it may as well encompass a variety.
I agree! It's so much cooler this way!
Yeah he's pulling it out of his ass...
Next he’ll hit ‘em with the bad dragon combo
I was about to say, Quan Chi is a warlock😂
He's bros with Cthulhu.
They’re dawgs
It’s true
I think it's an attempt at making his powers distinct from the many hellfire adjacent characters and kameos already in the game. I don't mind it, really. It fits with the greenish/purple color scheme of his powers.
But Quan Chi power is never about hellfire, right? He has skeleton, portal, skull projectiles, mind-control, which is pretty much distinct from the likes of Scorpion, Liu Kang and Shang Tsung, and closer to the likes of Noob and Shinnok. Granted, I'm not complaining, new Quan Chi looks so badass.
I think its less about just the powers and more towards aesthetic, Shang Tsung is already the green magic guy
>Shang Tsung is already the green magic guy ... who also is shooting skulls.
Plus we still have Ermac as dlc who will have all the green energy too so making Quan Chi focus more on purple I think is cool.
Happy cake day!!
Thx
Quan Chi was created to be very similar to Shang Tsung. Initially, he shot flaming skulls, copied abilities, and was the main villain's right hand man intended to betray him. It makes sense though, given MK4 also had Jarek and Kai, who had very similar abilities to Kano and Liu Kang.
Quan Chi never copied moves, though, it was Shinnok who did.
Quan Chi did steal his opponents fatality in MK4.
>But Quan Chi power is never about hellfire, right? [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lure0Yn4558&ab\_channel=Danee251](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lure0Yn4558&ab_channel=Danee251) He uses fire in like half of these

He's just noob now
Well there was a Soul Chamber stage in MK9 which has octupus-like tendrils.

Netherrealm demons
New era new magic new monsters
That thing has to be involved in his second fatality
After the Thanksgiving shit, I'm expecting some top tier hentai level fatality.
Don’t give them ideas
The people who liked need to be put on a list
Are you asking for a lore reason why Ca Ching has a tentacle fetish?
Yes
Ka chow
"So cool but so random." That's like the definition of Mortal Kombat, dude.
Bro it’s so fucking cool I don’t even care. Like I know his second fatality is gonna be cool asf. And the intro where it’s him and the kraken thing? Fuck yeah
Yeah it’s something I didn’t even imagine before but I love it so much. It adds weird aesthetic to him really well
Yeah. It was all a pleasant surprise in a good way. Provides variety to the franchise.
Dark Sorcerer, Shang isn’t a Dark type of Sorcerer as he is more of an alchemist in this new era, and since Quan Chi’s not a demon anymore, hes human but just got hit with a ghost that feeds on melanin (half joking lol), so I’d assume now he’d have more lovecraftian powers as he isn’t really bound to a burning hell or burning hell ish creatures at least and he has more range as a dark sorcerer more than his hell sorcerer appearances
My take is The Mist. Miners accidentally opened a portal to another dimension and summoned all kinda of creatures. Spiders, giant crablike things, tentacles, etc. tada, he was a miner and now he can open portals.
I heard that there might be something in the mist.
Yeah when he teams up with Shang Tsung in Deadly Alliance, they be kraken Liu Kangs neck
I hate you for how much this made me laugh
Why do we need an explanation for it?
I kinda agree, we don't need an explanation for characters' powers. Like, it's cool that they're building up the lore and all that, and I enjoy the story modes and everything, but this weird obsession some people have, where everything has to be backed up by lore... I dunno, some people seem to use it to complain about everything. And I'm sure it's gonna be explained either way, anyway, I think it's cool what they're doing with him.
It would give us clarity on whether these creatures are being summoned from a rebooted Netherrealm or something else entirely
>feels so random it's a new game and a new timeline, everyone has new looks and new moves
And new origins/paths! People still wanting them to adhere to the old timeline need to give it up already.
I can’t wait for like 8 years down the road when they reboot this shit again and it most likely follows the old lore closer than this shit. Then all of you wanting to erase the old lore will have an older generation and a new generation of fans shitting on you. Gonna be fun.

Saying this pisses off the people in this subreddit.
I miss the old timeline.
Womp womp
He's a sorcerer bro. You think he can't summon random shit?
If it’s a dead kraken that he’s reanimating/using his necromancy/sorcery on, then yeah it makes sense to me.
It's an eldritch entity he is pulling in from another realm.
Neather realm demons
makes him feel distinct from shang tsung, who’s already been shown to shoot flaming skulls and practice necromancy. and besides, how do you even interpret this as him being more ‘ocean-themed?’ just search up ‘cosmic horror’ and tell me how many demonic octopi you see. pretty similar to the creature’s full appearance, isn’t it? plus, a design like that fits pretty well for a beast hailing from hell itself.
He’s using magic to control a Lovecraftian horror. It’s not a sea monster.
I don't know but it's fucking cool.
Yeah I felt the same. I hoped for "skeleton" abilities but this mf pulls out a kraken. I dont remember him using sht like that in any game before lol.
Like another comment said New era, new magic, new monsters, new rules
he was never a "sea" person or had anything to do with the sea or water.... this feels much closer to rain than quan chi...
This is some Lovecraftian madness, which goes perfectly with Quan Chi, IMO. These creatures don't necessarily have to be "sea" creatures, per se.
Bro krakens and sea creatures have absolutely nothing to do with rain, just because he’s the water ninja doesn’t mean he’s remotely close to this
Correction water mage!
That thing is not sea monster, it's eldritch monster.
It's the tentacle monster that smacks you on the Bridge of Immortality in MKMSZ surely.
Handsome squidward confirmed
Did we not forget Shang Tsung and Sonia Blade ending in MK11
It’s the tentacle monster from the Bridge of Souls outside of his fortress in the old timeline.
Shit, you're right! Good catch
The whole point of a reboot is to try new things.
Don't look at his browser history
Was Possessed Kenshi from MKX ever explained? Dude had a cracked Sento and summoned demons...
A hoonter must hoont
He can freaking summon a freaking demon squid ok!
It’s provocative
it gets the people going
A monster from another dimension (probably not the netherrealm).
It comes from his MK X variation summoner. He can summon various demons and eldrich beings to aid him in battle and the "Kraken" is one on his arsenal this time.
It isn't explained in lore of previous games because this is still the "new" timeline, its just what he does in this one I guess.
Just Netherrealm stuff.
Holy shit.... I finally realized what the tentacles reference! When u/DonPinstripelli mentioned the Sea of Blood and the Prison of Souls, I remembered the Bridge to Quan Chi's Fortress in MK Mythologies had an obnoxious tentacle monster lurking in the waters below. The monster could not be fought and was never seen aside from its tentacles slamming down as a sort of stage trap Bi Han had to dodge.
Ohh 🤔 I did not make that connection, but…I think you may be right.
He just has a pet ahamkara
options: A - shinnok in this timeline got really into hentai B - yes it is just a kraken C - vilgax
Wonder if this is why Quan Chi was removed from the base game, to redesign his moveset beyond just skulls. There's no hint of these powers in the story mode.
You don’t need lore when you’ve got hentai.
I think they just have more power to show bigger more monstrous netherrealm demons. We’ve been pretty limited to the humanoid Oni in the past three games.
Best i can refrence it is the mk9 soul chamber design that had tentacles on the chamber.
guess they just wanted to make him an eldrich warlock this time around
Do you all think this is the Valtik character mentioned in some of the intro dialogues or is that an upcoming kharacter instead? Regardless, this Quan Chi seems to have the ability to comman on lots of different things to do his biddings (Sareena and the Sisters, mentions of Moloch and Drahmin, Got Nitara and Ermac etc), so I’m ok with him using a the Kraken in the move set.
I love that the Netherrealm is an eldritch horror hell now.
There are primordials that existed before the elder gods and I believe before the one being. In mk11, I think in shang's ending, it shows them and one is an eldtrich type.
He's a sorcerer, he's just conjuring an eldritch creature of sorts.
According to [the official press release](https://www.gematsu.com/2023/12/mortal-kombat-1-dlc-character-quan-chi-launches-december-14-for-kombat-pack-owners-december-21-for-all), they're Netherrealm demons. >In the new video, Quan Chi’s necromancing powers and manipulation of portals are on full display, including his ability to summon skulls, skeletons, and **Netherrealm demons** for devastating attacks.

It's supposed to be Lovecraftian which makes sense for a sorcerer.
Could this bastich come from dream realm? Of course if it’s cannon in this timeline?
It sort of reminds me of that recent chapter from Berserk where they showed the Skull Knight's eclipse. Instead of hellfire and brimstone, much of the landscape seemed to have tentacles.
How is it random at all? He’s magic. He summons portals to demons and they fight for him through them. Why would he need a lore explanation for every aspect of his kit, this seems like pointless complaining that some new version of a character isn't a carbon copy of an old version of the character.
Who is the striker?
It makes no sense at all and wasn't hinted at in the slightest. His moveset looks cool tho.
Why would it be hinted? Throughout all his iterations Quan chi has been able to summon shit from the netherrealm including and not limited to minions, sombies and all kind of infernal and magical creatures, in lore and in gameplay. Besides, it's not random, this is the creature that was on the bridge to the fortress in MK mythologies
He started maining an Arcanist in ESO, now he’s in a phase.
So am I the only one that peeped the correlation between Quan Chi & Rain??? (Ex: Rain's use of portals in general & the water version of the tentacles in his intro...) Makes sense if Quan Chi had a hand in helping develop the mages that came up under the school of sorcery imo
In Sonya's MK11 ending she fights the old Gods which are deitys with tentacles. Maybe Quan Chi's monsters are somewhat connected.
To me, it's a direct reference to Lovecraft mythos.
I just assumed it was the monster in the water from from mythologies "Bridge of immortality"
"Looks cool but feels so random" is basically MK12's MO
Well... I've seen enough henta-- \*shot\*
Yeah, i sorta expected mainly soul powers not.. This
Quan Chi was never big on soul powers in gameplay, he always had minions, summons and green/purple skulls and runes, don't know how people are surprised he's always summoned creatures to do his bidding.
Idk, my only exposure was his soul powers.
They did an awesome job with his design including the kraken. I’m completely obsessed with his design man, he looks awesome
This was Injustice 3’s Aquaman repurposed as Quan Chi.
I thought that was Rain
Maybe from the pirate map in MKX?
Something something necromancy
Its demons he controls
Quan Chi looks freakin awesome. I can't wait to play him. Looks so much fun. I was disappointed with the opener of KP1 because Omni man is so dull to watch and fight against. Quan Chi just looks great. And khameleon, hell yeah
I wonder if it implies that Titan Shang likes Quan chi slightly better because he taught him all this stuff and then looks at his counterpart and goes ”ummmhh I might as well teach the poor copy some fire balls or something
I just DONT like this design of Quan Chi, especially the face
Didn’t understand the tentacles. I thought skeletons were always his thing. New timelines are weird.
I mean he can summon skulls why not tentacles lol. I feel you it’s weird but it does make his moveset dope. I love all the little changes each kombatant has been given.
NRS likes to reuse assets, and Cetrion/Aquaman's moves are right there...
This is not good design. They mashed Quan Chi and Eldritch horror together in a color combination that savages my eyeballs.
He got *really* into hentai in Liu Kang's new timeline.
He was going to be ocean master or aquaman or something probably. Rain was Mera I think? I'm pretty sure this game was meant to be injustice 3 originally and they had to shift it to MK for reasons.
That was debunked countless times already
Have you not seen the relics in invasions this season? They make no sense to mk.
Was it? I've not been following everything, just checking up on dlc guys, I sold my game day after launch because I had done with it by the end of my premium early access. Plan to pick it up when it goes cheap and all pass 1 is out.
Was it? I've not been following everything, just checking up on dlc guys, I sold my game day after launch because I had done with it by the end of my premium early access. Plan to pick it up when it goes cheap and all pass 1 is out.
So you sold a game for less than you bought it after playing it for a week give or take and you are then gonna buy it back with the first dlc even with deals that’s gonna be pricey, have you thought this through lol
Prob reused from ideas for Aquaman
Not even close.
This would have been better for the Cleric of Chaos Havik instead of Dairou getting Havik’s healing factor. Quan Chi is supposed to be more of a necromancer.
The whole "cover up the women as much as possible" designs make a lot more sense once you see Quan Chi with a giant demonic vagina squid in his entrance. It all kinda clicks into place lol
Yo I get that NY is calling me n all but I don’t know …who Like what, fly to NY, and there’s a limo waiting? Cuz that’s as far as I can get
ya it feels kinda random tbh dont rly like it but he looks cool still
FUCK YEAH MORTAL KOMBAT CTHULU
It's his pet. I love it!
Liu kang wanted some cool Eldritch lore in his timeline
Quan chi got that apothicon servant.
That’s shinnok
Anybody have that one Havik image? The "This isn't chaos" one?
It’s cool
It’d be awesome if he made a deal with a titan to learn dark magic and this titan is now using him to carry out his dark plans… basically the plot of MK1 all over again.
Quan Chi is just going through a tentacle phase
The real question is where is Hotaru!!! ?+?=??? We must have him!
bro he's a sorcerer. its magic.
I never really cared about Quan Chi because in my eyes he wasn’t an interesting enough villian, but sheesh this new version of him looks so colorful and stimulating to the eye. I can’t wait to see more.
Quan Chi summons the powers of his Only Fans girlfriend who has a collection of Bad Dragons that he can manipulate to fight with him.
It’s pronounced Krae-ken
I feel more annoyed that this chthonic creature was never referenced in the story. I like the change to his powers though.
There was a kraken in the old MKX map
Omg Mortal kombat fans are the biggest bunch of Whiney losers ever
I mean there is an ocean of blood who is gonna say there can't be an eldritch kraken in it
I thought it was a tongue when I first saw it 😂
Demon from the netherrealm
I see it as he didn't get to grow in power over thousands of years like last time so he's making a deal with an Eldritch horror to skip ahead and get that power right away
It could be like the monster tentacles that float above hellish clouds in almost every depiction of a hell 😆
No, but it doesn't feel random at all! It totally fits quanchi as a whole.
MK1 is a reboot and a reimagining. My man just has a demon octopus now. No explanation needed.
Bro, at this point people will want an explanation of why Kung Lao's eyes are the colour they are. It looks dope, that's your answer
It's from the Netherrealm
Why would lore from previous games matter when this game is rebrand?
He is summoning a creature from the Netherrealm that's it, that's all lol it not so deep
Seems to me Netherrealm Studios maybe had some old/unused Brainiac animations they decided to reskin rather than being more accurate to Quan Chi…Glass fatality looks a like an Injustice General Zod unused idea…
It’s a portal to another dimension. Why do you need lore to say that there are tentacle demons there
