IGN has just published a new interview with series creator Ed Boon along with a CGI trailer from the upcoming Mortal Kombat game. Below are a few excerpts from the interview.

Mortal Kombat is making the rounds today as coverage of Gamescom in Cologne, Germany has gotten under way! German fansite MKUniverse is covering the event and are reporting that the two characters alluded to by Ed Boon are the Princess of Edenia, Kitana and the yellow cyborg Cyrax. The two arenas mentioned by Ed are both from Mortal Kombat 3: The Bell Tower and Jade's Desert.

Hot on the tails of the Sonya confirmation story, there is some good evidence that Kitana is also confirmed.

On the personal webpage of Brenda Barrie (the actress who did the motion capture for Wonder Woman and Catwoman in MK vs. DC Universe), there was indication that she was going to take up the role as the Edenian Princess and that the game was to be released on December 25, 2010.

Since then, however, the page has been altered.

It seems likely that she spilled the beans a little early and was asked by Warner Bros to remove the information. Still, both Sonya and Kitana fans have reason to rejoice now, as it seems a sure thing that their favorite characters have made it into the game in some form.

A big thanks to fellow fansites FDMK and MK Universe for the news and screencaps!

There has been a definite drought of information regarding Mortal Kombat: Armageddon recently; however, our friends over at Midway know that interest in new information is strong. To that end, to give us a bit of a teaser as to what to expect, they've released to us seven exclusive load screen images! These loading screen images features grudge matches made popular in the games (and one from the movies!); they show Johnny Cage and Goro, Cyrax and Sektor, Kitana and Mileena, Reiko and Shao Kahn, two images of Sub-Zero and Scorpion, and Liu Kang (in zombie form) and Shang Tsung!

The game may already be out, but Cinder is still at it! This time, another render from MK: Shaolin Monks: fan favorite Kitana. Check it out:

Cinder over on the Midway Boards has released two more pieces of concept art from Midway's upcoming action-adventure game, Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks! These pieces of concept art (which are smaller than the previous two that Cinder released) feature the Edenian princess-turned-assassin Kitana and everyone's favorite Shokan Goro!

Two new pieces of concept art from Midway's upcoming Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks have been released. Over on the Midway Forums, an administrator going by the nickname Cinder has posted a pencil sketch of the three female Outworld assassins, Jade, Kitana, and Mileena!

The three ladies will be seen in their own boss battle in the game, where you have to fight all three simultaneously.

In addition, Cinder posted a "koncept render" of Kung Lao that was designed for the upcoming TV spot. In his post, Cinder says the full-size render "could make good wallpaper".
