'Mortal Kombat 9' Could Be the Goriest Yet

by Leila Brillson on June 23, 2009 at 07:02 PM



Finally, the 'Mortal Kombat' franchise is revamping its reputation as the originator of the 'fatality,' bringing back its tradition of splattered blood and graphic gore in the new, unnamed 'MK9.' G4TV.com reports that the franchise is heading back to what it does best: making 'M'-rated video games and giving players the best fatalities and end moves. Back in 1992 when it was introduced to arcades, the game became one of the first to come under attack for its gratuitous violence, and the first installment in almost three years will certainly give detractors something to worry about.

For serious 'Mortal Kombat' fans, check out Midway developer Ed Boon's Twitter account. He seems to be listening to what fans are saying, and it sounds like those who enjoy missing limbs and dangling spines will be in for a treat. [From: G4TV.com]
