The Latest Mortal Kombat News August 24, 2010

A lot of news has been going around about the new Mortal Kombat game. 

The majority of the characters in the game are going to come from the MK, MK2 and UMK3 games, but there is expected to be a ton of new characters avalible through DLC, which means that if your favorite character is not included on the list, don’t fret, they might be coming at a later point.

My favorite news is the return of the Krypt.  The Krypt, which appeared in later MK games (including Mortal Kombat: Armageddon) was a one stop shopping point for unlocking all of your in-game items.  You would recieve currency through playing the campaign, and with it could unlock things like behind the scenes videos, alternate costumes, concept art, and music.

Mortal Kombat is currently expected in the first half of 2011, and will ship for Xbox 360, PS3, and there’s even a good chance that it could ship for PC at some point.
