The final boss to be defeated in the climactic last battle in Mortal Kombat 1 is Shang Tsung, in a tag team with Quan Chi. As we can observe from the beginning of the main storyline, the narrative takes a new approach, following Shang Tsung's origin and eventual rise to power thanks to Damashi.

The veterans of the franchise will remember that Shang Tsung was the main antagonist of the original Mortal Kombat game, so it was no surprise that he is the final challenger in Mortal Kombat 1 as well. Despite being a soft reboot of the franchise, Mortal Kombat 1 ties into the previous part's ending, creating a new timeline due to the earlier events.
