Mortal Kombat: Armageddon

Mortal Kombat: Armageddon is the eight title in the Mortal Kombat fighting game series. The PlayStation 2 version was released in stores on October 11th, 2011 while the Xbox version was released on the 16th, with a Wii version released on May 29th, 2017 in North America.

Story
Throughout the Multiverse Federation, our universe, the combatants of the planets were growing too strong and numerous for the planets to handle. The warriors' powers threaten to utterly destroy the fabric of our universe. These warriors clashed in a single battle royal that threatened to rip apart reality and bring about the apocalypse. Without a single warning, a pyramid rises from the ground, and the tip bursts into flames, attracting the warriors' curiosity to see what it was. The combatants fought one another to get to the top, while Blaze revealed himself to them. The firespark was created by the Elder Gods to destroy as many fighters as possible in order to save the planets from Armageddon. This would be the warriors' last battle, their last chance to prove that they are worthy of surviving, while many others would perish. This was the final battle for us, the battle that determined the fate of the planets...

But soon after the battle concluded, nearly every combatant met his demise, except Raiden and Shao Kahn (who concluded Armageddon as they battled atop Argus' Pyramid for the final time, with Shao being the victor). The next game in the series, only known as Mortal Kombat 9, would begin with the aftermath of Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, before shifting into an alternate timeline caused by Raiden sending a message to his past self during the time of the first Mortal Kombat Tournament, in both, our reality and game universe.
