There were some characters that have been in the Konquest or have had info revealed about them relating to their past but have no info related to Armageddon.

Kano-other than the dragon cloning why was he there?
Kira-just hanging around the Botan Jungle.
Kobra-just hanging around the Botan Jungle.
Chameleon-Supposedly hiding until the right moment.
Kintaro-May be an apparition created by Shinnok
Sindel-No info
Baraka-No info
Scorpion-Mad at the Elder Gods
Stryker-No info
Moloch-No info
Cyrax-No info
Bo Rai Cho-No info
Kai-no info
Hotaru-no info
Darrius-no info
Dairou-no info
Havik-may be an apparition created by Shinnok.
Motaro-we only know that he was altered by Sheeva/Shokan
Tanya-No info
Jade-No info
Ermac-No info
Frost-Awakened by Taven after being frozen.
Kabal-Leader of new Black Dragon outside Argus's temple.
Hsu Hao-No info
Drahmin-No info
Sheeva-May be an apparition created by Shinnok
Li Mei-no info
Meat-Just an unfinished being created by Shang Tsung
Mokap-no info (but who cares, he can die for all I care)


There are a lot of unanswered questions that hopefully get cleared up.
Thats a total of 29 characters, are they dead or what, based on what everyone already knows, maybe we can clear this up since there are no more bios.

I am sure that Konquest is canon, so the details we know from that are the best we'll get. For the other characters I am sure they are dead...(except for Motaro, Havik, and Ermac). Motaro because he has sworn vengeance on the Shokan, Ermac because he is comprised of so many souls that it would take an entire army to take him out, and Havik can't be killed IMO because dying will be a structured event and Havik is all about chaos.

Still a lot of unanswerd questions definitely. It is a disappointment.

Maybe we'll get an explanation of some kind come MK8. Probably not, but it's a thought.

Its a shame, all those characters. Some have real potential to grow and step up on the pedestal. MK could have continued to become better but now I've got doubts like many people here. Like Reiko or Raiden could be future emperor, Hotaru could become Onaga's general instead of of just a leader of a small army working for Onaga. Ermac could become a massive collection of souls. Daegon or Rain could win the prize and become emperor of Edenia.

Not knowing that stuff is a serious letdown. While I doubt this will kill the fanbase, a lot of people that are part of that undoubtedly lost a fair amount of respect for the MK team in the process. I'm not insulting anyone who worked on the game series, just stating the likely obvious.

I hope we will find out soon. This is very dissapointing indeed. There probably is a lot more questions than this too. Why doesn't Midway notice us?! cry

They're probably sitting in their Billion dollar mansions rolling in cash not caring about MK and the true fans that played all or the majority of the games and really enjoy the Kombat.

Midway is poorer then you may think, that's prolly also the reason that they want to release there games as fast as possible, but with some of the upcoming games especially unreal 3 , wich is a very famous game, they can live forth for a while i think.

News to me, my friend. I would've thought MK with its huge franchise, the 2 movies , the journey begins, the tv show, the cartoon series, all those games, they would be a large multi-million dollar corporation.

That's true. With all of that success, they're most likely the furthest thing away from the word poor.

well offcourse not exactly poor (but from what i have heard)
They where recently on the edge of bankrupt


don't know why anymore, maybe they where sued by Jack Thompson or something lol


''Midway has fallen on hard times since the 2000s. On June 2001, the company shut down its arcade division due to financial losses. In February 2003, Midway closed Midway Games West, putting an end to what was left of the original Atari. In October 2003 Midway said it expected to see $100 million in losses in 2003, on sales of about $100 million''


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midway_Games


maybe it was this thinking

but anywayz Midway is prolly not one of the richest companies

one of the reasons that midway loses a lot of money compared to other video game companies is that compared to them midway doesn't really have a lot of games tied directly to its brand. Yes MK is a big franchise but that and UR3 can't carry the company when they have to also compete in the area of worldwide distribution and let's face it...there are TONS of games out there that don't belong to the midway family that take a huge chunk of video game sales' profits.

I'm plsdntsteponme and that is my 2 cents...
