Over on the Midway Boards, Cinder made a short but informative post on the status of the much-requested character from Mortal Kombat Trilogy, Khameleon: "Khameleon is not in MKA for PS2 and Xbox... "

The phrasing of Cinder's post is interesting, as it leaves open the possibility that Khameleon may be in the Nintendo Wii version of the game. We'll keep checking on this story; if we learn more, we'll be sure to post it here.

Cinder, from the official Midway Games forums, has once again posted another piece of concept art from Mortal Kombat: Armageddon. Instead of stages however, this time we are treated with a detailed work of Liu Kang in his zombie form.

In this artwork, Kang is shown in a very frightening light, appearing more dead and decomposed than he did in Mortal Kombat: Deception. The trademark slouching pose of death, deep gashes complete with blood and a sunken face are among the many details this artwork has to offer.

Cinder, from the official Midway Games Boards, has revealed a bit of information crucial to those looking to preorder the upcoming Mortal Kombat: Armageddon. As previously reported, the premium editions available for the Sony Playstation 2 feature select Mortal Kombat rivalries, as half of one character's face appears up close and their enemy looms in the background. It seems that certain retailers will be selling specific boxarts, and we now know which cover belongs to which store. Preorder locations are as follows:

• Best Buy: Shao Kahn & Sindel
• Walmart: Kano & Sonya
• EB Games/Gamestop: Johnny Cage & Goro
• Gamecrazy: MKA Dragon Logo

The official Mortal Kombat: Armageddon site has been updated once again, with something of a different image this time around. On the page accessible by clicking the eye of the dragon, the seventh mystery image has been revealed as a photograph of a man on a city street, screaming, as he holds his arms in the air. The pose is reminiscent of the old Acclaim ads for the original Mortal Kombat, where someone on a busy street helds their arms up and screamed the game's title. The people in front of the screaming man holding camera equipment seem to strongly suggest that this is for an upcoming commercial; however, when contacted, Midway refused to comment either way.

After a quiet week on the news front, our friends over at Midway Games have given us five exclusive screenshots from the upcoming Mortal Kombat: Armageddon! One screenshot shows a close up of a female Kreated Kombatant in the fine-tuning of her appearance. Another screenshot shows Taven in Konquest mode, as he fights what could almost be Lin Kuei warriors in an ice arena. The other three screenshots are in kombat mode. One shows Sub-Zero giving a flying kick to Stryker in Kahn's Arena. Another shows Shang Tsung delivering a flying kick to Frost in an unidentified arena with eggs mounted around the fighting area. The third, and most interesting image, shows Kintaro facing none other than Motaro in Kahn's Arena. This is the first screenshot we've seen of Motaro; the rumours appear to be true in that he is bipedal, as opposed to having four legs in Mortal Kombat 3.

Mortal Kombat: Armageddon is slated for an October 9th release in the States, and October 20th in Europe.

Our thanks to our friends at Midway for these new screenshots!
