Mortal Kombat 9 is now officially underway as Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe ships 1.8 million units

Mortal Kombat 9 is now officially underway says Ed Boon, co-creator of the Mortal Kombat series and the mastermind behind all the core titles in the franchise including the most recent MK8 or Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe as it was officially named.

“We’re already hard at work on our next version of Mortal Kombat, and look forward to being able to reveal more details in the future,” Boon said in a press release announcing that MK vs DCU had shipped (not sold) 1.8 million copies.

As the game has not even been “officially” announced there are obviously no solid details on the new MK game at this point but it is highly likely that the game will go in a much more violent direction than Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe due to several comments that Ed Boon had made even previous to that game’s release when people found out that the game would be rated Teen and thus less violent than previous MK titles.

Of course, this is just speculation, for all we know the next game is in fact Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe 2!

Make a new 2d kombat like the first 3, but use all the processing power and extra memory space to make the characters, stages and overall graphics look as best as possible.
It would also be cool for you to include all the stages from mk 1, 2 and ultimate 3.
I bet you guys could make a great looking 2d kombat with all kinds of extra options and fatalities with the new gen systems.

So are you gonna let the fools in charge of Midway screw you out of even more money by not releasing it for Wii & PC again, Ed?

Alright listen, I am a long term MK fan.mkvdc was not as bad as I had expected. However, I hope they do not make MK 9 MK v DC 2. In fact, I know at Ed Boon wouldn’t do that to us. What we really need is an insane Konquest like Shoalin Monks, great fighting mechanics, loads of unlockables, Classic and new characters, and best for last Lots and Lots of Fatalities. Obviously Fatalities have become iconic of the MK franchise and lately they really haven’t impressed me. And i’m sorry but MK4 sucked. We need something BRAND NEW while at the same time simple and familiar. I trust that Ed Boon will deliver something to quench every fan’s taste whether it be blood lust or just the need for an awesome MK game. I know I’ll certainly enjoy what could be the last installment of the MK series.
