Talking to CVG, Mortal Kombat co-creator, ed boon dropped a major hint, that the sequel to last yea’s over-popular Mortal Kombat game, will not be released on this generation’s consoles, but the next one.
from the article:
“Just philosophically, I don’t think we could take the approach of doing the same thing but adding new characters in our next Mortal Kombat game,” he said.
“We definitely want to do something new with it, we feel we have to introduce something into the mix.”
But Boon believes that there is less opportunity to innovate if a sequel is published on the same console; An indication that the next Mortal Kombat game will arrive on hardware as yet revealed by Microsoft and Sony.
“If you introduce another edition of your game on the same console, you cannot provide a radically different experience,” Boon said.
“I’m sure, if we were to do a new Mortal Kombat game on next generation systems, I think we would be able to provide dramatically different experiences.”
How do you feel, knowing that when the next Mortal Kombat game comes out, you will have to upgrade to the, yet unannounced, successors to the Ps3 and xbox 360?

The Mortal Kombat Legacy series is getting a second season! While the first series had its share of criticism, it was still the best Mortal Kombat interpretation on the small screen. with a second season to focus on the actual first tournament, we provide you a list of 10 things that would definitely make the second season a great hit among the fans. Let’s get to it:
10- More special moves and more over the top fighting:
Let’s get one thing straight, Mortal Kombat is about fighters, ninjas, cyborgs and 4 armed demons fighting in a mystical tournament where souls can be consumed like chicken pot pies. so grounding this whole world into modern realism and down to earth “real” fighting might not be well appreciated by the fans. I am not saying that all actors should be wired and flying from one corner of the set to the other, like a dragon ball z movie, far from it. What i am saying is that the fight choreographers should not limit themselves to real fighting and should try to respect the game more than realism.
9- Continuity with the Movie:
