The events of "Mortal Kombat II", along with the first "Mortal Kombat" and "Mortal Kombat 3" (including its expansions), were later retold in the 2011 fighting game "Mortal Kombat", which was as an effective reboot of the series. In it, Raiden uses time travel to revisit the tournaments from the original games in the series in order to change the future in the aftermath of Armageddon. The ladder/arcade mode of this game can follow the same order of bosses as in "MKII" (with Shang Tsung, Kintaro and Shao Kahn as the final three opponents, although Goro will often be the ninth opponent instead of Kintaro) and its controls and Fatality system are most reminiscent of "MKII". Classic costumes from "MKII" were also brought back as alternate outfits for female ninja characters in the PlayStation Vita version. "Mortal Kombat II" was to be one of the three games remade in HD in the cancelled fighting game "Mortal Kombat HD Arcade Kollection". However, only a simple compilation game titled "Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection" was released instead.
