Ever since its creation, part of Mortal Kombat's appeal has been its controversial gore and realism. With almost every game offering an excess of gore nowadays however, Mortal Kombat's signature contraversy that caught the media's eyes, as well as those in the gaming community, had been lost, and thusly MK has lost a part of what has made it.

In MK after MK though, there has been a noticeable inclusion of more and more female characters with skimpier and sexier outfits. So is it too much to assume that MK8 will take the next step and include nudity? Not brief nudity as found in God of War, but nudity that is frequent and pushes the limits of its "M" rating and again draws attention to the MK series with media covered contraversy. I believe that the MK team has been dancing around the idea of nudity with the racier female costumes and renders such as "sexy mileena" in MKD in the past years, and with the oppurtunity for a darker and more serious MK, they will probably pursue such; and if they do plan to completely "recreate: MK, they probably will do so with little reserve.

In an early interview Boon was quoted saying, "I have a bunch of ideas on paper in terms of things that I’d like to theoretically try, but it’s not like it’s in a playable state yet. — We’re doing something with the next game that’s unbelievably unexpected, and there’s going to be an announcement. I totally was told, “You cannot talk about this thing.” I think it’s going to be rolled out."

Now of course this announcement would most likely not be about "nudity in MK", thats foolish and silly. But perhaps the announcement rolled out may include shocking detail that could include a hint of such. I personally doubt that the announcement Boon foreshadowed will include any such thing and I laugh at the idea, but I do not doubt the fact that there will most likely be nudity in MK8.
