Next-gen Mortal Kombat game coming this year

Fans of Mortal Kombat rejoice: Midway boss David Zucker has confirmed what many consumers expected – a new Mortal Kombat game is on the way this year.

Nothing is known of the game or its title, but a boxed version of the title is likely to arrive on next-gen formats Xbox 360 and PS3 for the first time.

Zucker said:

…our focus really is not so much on the number of games as it is on creating games that are going to breakthrough and doing a better job of that historically.

"Games like This Is Vegas and of course you got Mortal Kombat game this year and others that we think have potential to give us higher unit numbers.”
