The official Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance website has updated their character bio section tonight with Kano. His storyline mentions that he was promoted to General of Shao Kahn's army but must now decide, with a new power arising in the Outworld, if he will align with the weakened Shao Kahn or the new Deadly Alliance (Quan Chi and Shang Tsung). We could assume from this Shao Kahn is making his return in this game, but as always only time can tell. Also check out the bio section for a few new screenshots of Kano in his alternative outfit which is from the original Mortal Kombat.

Thanks to those on the forum who brought this to my attention.

The September issue of Game Informer shows Sub-Zero doing his Skeleton Pull Fatality on Scorpion!  Judging from the pics, it actually looks like a really cool Fatality - much better than Kano's Skeleton Pull from MK3.  So check out the newsstands now for Game Informer - it's the one with Grand Theft Auto on the front cover.

Another magazine exlusive to the U.K. called P2 Magazine has gotten an exclusive 6-page interview with Ed Boon!  Most of the information contained within the interview is now well-known (though they went into great detail on the combo system).  The juiciest tidbits of info have to be that multi-stage arenas ala MK3 and DOA3 are now confirmed to be in the game.  Also, some stages will now contain weapons that your player can use (this is an even better idea than the rocks and skulls from MK4, though vaguely reminiscent of it).

Hopefully you can find a good newsstand to import it, as it is from the U.K.  If you're looking for it, it's the July 2002 Issue of P2 (#22).  Good luck!

Thanks to Luke from Total Mortal Kombat for the news on this update.

OverClocked Remix, a site dedicated to hosting remixes of songs from video games, has finally added a remix to one of the Mortal Kombat games!  The tune, called "Komplete Kontrol", is actually a remix of the Techno Syndrome song which also appeared in the MK movie.

If you've never been to OverClocked Remix before, we strongly recommend you check it out.  In addition to Komplete Kontrol, there are many other video game remixes you may like.  Special thanks to Beatdrop, the author of this kickin' tune.

Apparently the winners of the Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance Art Contest have been selected! Although no official announcement has been made, several of the winners appear to be artists from MK5.org! Members including RammSPOOn, bleed, digitalninja, and RaMeir have reported on our forum that they received a call from Midway yesterday declaring them winners. One is to assume all chosen entries will appear in the game. We have addressed our contacts at Midway and are awaiting official word and hopefully a list of winners. Congratulations to all of our winning artists! To your right is a sample of one of the winning entries from MK5.org member digitalninja.
