New Mortal Kombat Seeks To Push Ahead

The creator's of Mortal Kombat, Midway have all but disappeared, selling most of their intellectual property and development team it seems like the lacklustre Wheelman was the troubled developers last tango. To many this spelled the end to a well known and most loved franchise, Mortal Kombat. This appears false as Warner Bros have taken up development of a new title and seeks to create a game that enforces a 'golden standard' amongst fighting games.

The early nineties gamers among us will remember Mortal Kombat for its ultra violent and ultra fun style of fighting genre, since then the franchise has birthed many titles, some good some not so good. Will Warner Bros bring the title back to its former glory? Well this remains to be seen, however, with a publisher being this enthusiastic and ambitious about what it will develop, one can hope for glory.

Warner is still in the market for a developer, a job listing stating "We are looking for someone who wants to push the boundaries of what is possible with online interaction, implement cutting-edge online features to ensure the Mortal Kombat franchise is an industry leader in online functionality." So we can quite safely this new MK title will feature some great online play,

Will this new title beat it's long term rival Street Fighter? This remains to be seen, for now at least we can all cross our fingers and pray to Zeus.
