I've had that same thought on how they could use MortalKimbat as a test bed/launchpad for some of their other franchises they haven't touched in a while. With all the guest fighter crossovers and multiversal aspects the franchise has used for the last four entries it wouldn't be too much of a stretch.
The original Primal Rage even had some similar parallel universes lore going on, so it could actually line up. Maybe have a crossover event where one of the key factions enters the MK side of the multiversal to get some help and resources to stabilize the timelines of their side. Have a few bloody bouts, big reveals about primordial world-ending titans, throw in shitty Johnny Cage one-liners about the dino-gods looking like stop motion movie monsters, and that should do it.
