In a final battle, Raiden fights Shang Tsung and Quan Chi, the two founders of the Deadly Alliance.

When it seems that Raiden is about to finish off the two enemies, they rebound and he is defeated.

With a zest for power and suspicion arising, Shang Tsung and Quan Chi then turn on each other, wanting Earthrealm for themselves.

When it appears that Quan Chi is victorious, the true ruler of Outworld returns, The Dragon King.

Quan Chi attacks The Dragon King, but is not powerful enough.

Shang Tsung, recovering from the battle, joins in, but they still cannot defeat The Dragon King.

Finally, putting thoughts of battle aside, Raiden awakens, and a new alliance forms between the three of them.

The combined powers of all three still cannot defeat The Dragon King.

Raiden sacrifices himself, Shang Tsung and Quan Chi to kill the Dragon King, but his sacrifice is in vain, and The Dragon King only becomes more powerful.

Deception has the standard Arcade mode, which takes you up a ladder of increasingly difficult enemies.

Introduced in last year's game, Konquest has returned, although it is much different.

Instead of following a set path, you are now free to roam multiple areas, like in an RPG where you may perform tasks for people in between learning new techniques.

About PlayStation 2

The PlayStation 2 (2000) is the best-selling game console in history, with a library exceeding 9,000 titles that spans everything from budget shovelware to genre-defining classics. That massive volume means PS2 collecting is accessible and affordable overall, but a handful of low-print-run RPGs and cult titles have become genuinely expensive — a common pattern once a console's original audience grows up with disposable income.

Gamevaro tracks Mortal Kombat: Deception for PlayStation 2 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.

Adding Mortal Kombat: Deception to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS2 release dates back to 2004.
