A site called Figures.com has announced that there will be a new line of action figures based on Mortal Kombat: Deception. These figures, first mentioned on WAM Entertainment (the site for the MK: Deception comics) will be out by Jazwares, Inc. (already responsible for a superb line of Street Fighter and Megaman action figures). According to the article, the first line of toys will include Raiden, Sub-Zero, and Scorpion, will include 30+ points of articulation and will feature highly detailed sculpting.

It's that time once again! Have you ever wanted to interview the Mortal Kombat: Deception development team? Do you have a question you'd just love to have Ed Boon answer? Now's your chance!

Mortal Kombat Online proudly announces the return of its celebrity chat feature, FIGHT NIGHT! Our guests will be the development team for Midway's blockbuster fighting game, Mortal Kombat: Deception, including project lead Ed Boon! The chat will take place on Monday, October 25th at 8 PM Eastern Daylight Time. The event will last for about an hour, and it will take place at the #MortalKombat Online IRC Network!

Because of the anticipated extremely high attendance we will be handling question submission differently this time around. From now until Saturday October 23rd at 5:59 PM EDT, we will be pre-accepting questions for the chat at fightnight@mortalkombatonline.com. We will be accepting approximately ten to fifteen questions from the pre-submitted queue, time permitting. Then, attendees will be able to submit questions at the actual event itself. The remainder of the questions for the evening will be picked from the questions asked at the event.

Again, the event will be taking place Monday, October 25th at 8 PM EDT. We look forward to seeing you all at FIGHT NIGHT!

The website for the upcoming Mortal Kombat game, Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks, now has its own website at: www.mkshaolinmonks.com also available at www.mortalkombatshaolinmonks.com

Nothing much on the site yet, except for a Coming Soon message and the classic MK dragon symbol - but this is a good indication that things are progressing on the next MK game.

Thanks go to out to MK Online forum/chat user DECEPTION for the tip!

The official MK: Deception comics (mentioned in the BradyGames strategy guide) now have their own website: www.wamentertainment.com. Soon, you will be able to pre-order the comics (which are supposed to be released on March 2005) and it looks like they'll be selling a line of Deception action figures, as well! Check out their previews:

Further indicating the place of video games in modern entertainment history, Metreon, a Sony Entertainment Destination, is starting a new annual award for electronic entertainment titled the Walk of Game. The Walk of Game is similar to the Walk of Fame in Hollywood, in that it honors games with a walkway plaque, to be installed in the San Fransisco Metreon. This new award is surely an honor to any game inducted into it's hallowed halls.

On that note, Mortal Kombat is one of twenty-five games nominated for a place in the Hall of Game. Currently ranked 19th, Mortal Kombat and Midway need your votes!
