Just when you thought you’d had enough frantic fighting and fatalities, the Mortal kombat series is set to return with an action/adventure game entitled Mortal kombat: Shaolin Monks. Slated for release late year, Shaolin Monks will build on Deception’s adventure based conquest mode by adding multiple new facilities and more action based puzzles. Midway claims that this new addition will include single and multiplayer action as well as the opportunity to explore the MK universe form a fresh perspective. Many of the kombat fan favorites are sure to make an appearance, so soon you’ll get another chance to beat down on Baraka or Smack down Scorpion in some new environments.
It comes as a bit of a surprise to hear of another MK title on the way so soon after the arrival of Deception but as David F Zucker, president and chief executive officer at Midway explains, perhaps we’d better get used to it. ‘’Shaolin Monks is our first step towards delivering something that Mortal kombat fans have been calling for: a new game set in the Mk universe ever year.’ Deception was recently announced as Midway’s fastest selling game in company history and its predecessor, Deadly Alliance, sold more than three million copies worldwide, so it’s no wonder the publisher wants to milk the MK cash cow while it’s still healthy. But do we really need a new Mk game every year? It’s up to Midway to prove that we do. We’ll keep you update on Shaolin Monks as the details fights their way into the office.
