This afternoon, Midway released the renders for the final two characters from the upcoming Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe. These two are, of course, the two boss characters who eventually merge to become the final boss, Dark Kahn. Representing the MK side is the emperor of Outworld, Shao Kahn, looking pretty much the same as he has in previous incarnations. Representing the DC universe is the dread lord of Apokolips, Darkseid, looking very similar to his comic counterpart with a more muted color scheme. Both are shown with their respective throne rooms as their backgrounds.
On the heels of the Xbox 360 Achievements story, Midway has now confirmed the list as truth and revealed those final four characters as the last pieces of the roster. From the press release:
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!
Midway has come through for the fans again! This time, they have released two screenshots from the upcoming Mortal Kombat: Armageddon that have not been seen anywhere else! One of the screenshots features a confrontation hinted at even as far back as Mortal Kombat 4; in it, Reiko sends Shao Kahn flying with an uppercut in MK4's Prison stage. In the other screenshot, Sheeva can be seen throwing one of her fireballs towards Fujin, while in the Subway stage from Mortal Kombat 3.
Over on the Midway Boards, Cinder has posted a new render for everyone to enjoy from Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks. This time, the render is that of everyone's favorite Outworld emperor, Shao Kahn! Unlike the previous Goro render, this render is brand new and does not come from the GameCube version of Mortal Kombat: Deception.
