Franchise co-creator Ed Boon took to Twitter earlier today to share that Mortal Kombat Legends: Battle of the Realms will hit stores on August 31. He also shared the box art for the sequel, which you can view below.

The cover notably features Liu Kang surrounded by Sub-Zero and Lord Raiden, all of whom appeared in Scorpion’s Revenge. Following the previous film’s conclusion, Battle of the Realms brings the characters to Outworld in order to defend Earthrealm. Meanwhile, Scorpion will seek out the ancient Kamidogu before it falls into the wrong hands and is used to resurrect the One Being, which would essentially wipe out the entire universe.
