BIA: Hell's Highway 'Realism' trailerMidway has revealed that it will be releasing a next-generation iteration of the Mortal Kombat series at some point in 2008.
News comes following a conference call with investors earlier this week, where Midway CEO and President, David Zucker, confirmed plans to release a new instalment in the venerable fighting series this year.
“…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”, commented Zucker.
"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.”
Information on the game, including its title, has yet to be revealed, though it is expected to receive a multiplatform release on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. A firm release date has also yet to be determined.
Stay tuned to PSU for more developments as they become available.

Sweet i used to love the Mortal Kombat series.........Wu Tang!!!
I dont trust Midway
Great, I will be def. looking forward to playing this game!
Midway needs to try some of their less used series!!! I want Suffering 3 and i'll even take a next- gen Carnevil but not an on-rails shooter. Make it a FPS with an amazing story and wicked graphics.
Awesome.. I need a name though :P
Well you cant have a new street fighter game without a MK one to compete with, just wouldnt be right !
yeahhhhhhhhh babyyyyyyy, its about time Midway. all you guys have to do now is show us some gameplay or some pictures.
MK should of stayed 2D, all the 3D ones suck !!
lol, Wu Tang has nothing to do with MK. Maybe you mean Liu Kang?
stopped playing MK when Midway changed the series to 3d
if they made MK similar to tekken with fatalities omg what a game
the 3D ones where weak bring me ultimate mk3 ERMAC (pure ownage)
or make a 2d with amazing 3d effects or something and good fatalities NO BABALITIES
Sweet as long as they dont use the fatality system from Armageddon!
Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes...love the randomness of MK...TOASTIE!!!!!
psn id: gingo.... the last few MK's have been extremely disappointing so i wont hold my breath for a good game
Just bring Sub-Zero and I'm good.
Bring back OLD SCHOOL MK!!! like Mortal Kombat 1 that was great!!!
I agree with dave-the-rave there`s no law saying fighting games have to change from 2d to 3d just because its next gen consoles.2d works best for these kinda games and also they should change sonic and the mario games bk to 2d, instead just make the games longer and trust me sonic would be a hit again.i just cant belive that no games developer have not relised this yet.man talk about brains it was so obvious years ago 3d dont work
i love all the latter MK games, the combo systems were great
getting tired of this series, used to love it though.
i wana see psi-ops two
so much for "this is our last MK game" liarssss
all 2d MK are good but all 3d series are all shiiiiiiiiiiiiit.
are u freaking serioues i LOVED the MK games i used to play them when i was little but comparing them to the new ones is a big difference in old mk games they didn't siw u the combos u had to do ''diaparates'' to make them and the fatalities too......the new ones are not such a big deal but the combos are awesome switching the style to continue the combo that's a really great accomplishmen
t''question.... would u liked a MK game just like Street Fighter IV?''[repost]
-I say NO and never.............the game will suck like that.......
They should turn mortal kombat into an action game like DMC and leave the fighting genre to an online multiplayer option... cuz thats all anyone will play of it anyways!!
well lets hope they make a good one cause i love the mortal kombat fighters and add sum good online mode
psn id J08hawks
I don't trust Midway but I want to get back into the Mortal Kombat series soon.
yeah when? I still play MK2 4 PS3............ want some
can't wait to see how mk look's on ps3
