Midway predicts Armageddon

The end (of current-gen Mortal Kombat games) is near; brutal brawler coming to PlayStation 2, Xbox this fall.

17 Comments

Midway today officially announced Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, the last game in the series for current-generation consoles, confirming earlier reports that the game was on its way. The fighting franchise will make its final bow on the PlayStation 2 and Xbox this fall. Celebrating its years of gory combat, the game will include a roster of "every fighter in the Mortal Kombat universe," as well as a Create a Fighter mode and a Create a Fatality mode. Mortal Kombat: Armageddon has not yet been priced or rated (though it will likely land an M for Mature rating). Check back later this week for details on the game, as GameSpot brings coverage of Midway's 2006 lineup.

Every fighter, except Motaro apparently. This will probably wind up being the "MK Trilogy" of the latest incarnations of the MK franchise (every fighter, background, etc). Don't like the fact they're adding another end boss (name unknown at the time, but check out the wallpaper of the cast at mortalkombatonline.com...the guy in the very back)...how much stronger can these guys get? Shang Tsung was this powerful sorceror, but he was a chump compared to the emperor Shao Khan, who was in turn nothing next to the might of the fallen elder god Shinnok, who pales in comparison to the overwhelming power of Onaga The Dragon King. I half expect the boss in the first 360/PS3 game to be God himself.

I've known about this for several weeks, but awesome! Can't wait! If only they would make a 360 version. I guess I'll be keeping my Xbox for alot longer than I first thought. That's fine, since I'm losing confidence in MS to provide quality backwards compatibility for Xbox games. Mortal Kombat Deception has already been removed from the BC list due to gameplay bugs such as serious slowdown, and I've seen similar problems in some other major Xbox games. I hear a BC update is coming in March. It will be interesting to see if MS has made any significant strides in terms of adding new games and fixing the current issues. MS, please stop wasting time on the low quality/low sales games that are easier to make BC. Give us popular games like Star Wars Battlefront and Mortal Kombat, not Barbie Horse Adventues!!! Quality over quanitity...
