Fans will have to wait to see if Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion’s Revenge will lead to follow-ups for the likes of Sub-Zero or Johnny Cage, as well as whether or not this will be a theatrical release or direct-to-video, when more developments come forward. Scorpion is one of the most iconic names in all of gaming alongside the likes of Mario, Master Chief and Ryu, and his backstory could serve as a decent revenge plot for a movie. Hasashi accepted, serving Quan Chi as the undead Scorpion until he discovered that it was, in fact, Quan Chi himself who ordered the attack on his clan in order to gain Hasashi as a pawn in his plans to conquer all of existence.įans may groan at the upcoming film focusing on Scorpion in lieu of other, less exposed members of the Mortal Kombat roster, but it arguably makes sense to begin a series – of which the “Legends” subtitle implies that this will be the first installment – with the most-well recognized character in the franchise. In the afterlife, or Netherrealm as the series calls it, his spirit was approached by the sorcerer Quan Chi, who offered to revive him with the power to take his revenge on the Lin Kuei assassin Sub-Zero, who he believed was the one who murdered his wife and child. The Shirai Ryu was eventually attacked by the rival Lin Kuei clan, leaving both Hasashi and his family dead.
