While he was not playable in Mortal Kombat. Deception (2004) he returned as one of the two main protagonists in Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks (2005). Like all MK characters, Kung Lao also returned in Mortal Kombat Armageddon in 2006. His latest playable appearance was in Mortal Kombat XI where he fought alongside Kung Lao against Kronika in the story mode. |
