Special thanks to Midway for sending us word, and they have said more is headed our way in the future!
Game Informer announces Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks!
Midway Games has
sent us the cover art for the November0 issue of
Game Informer Magazine,
featuring the shocking world exclusive of the next game in the
series: Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks! This issue of Game Informer will be
released today, and contains the exciting new look at the next Mortal Kombat
incarnation. We are honestly still in shock from this update coming in. At
this time we can not confirm whether this is either the next round of the
fighting genre format, like
Mortal Kombat: Deception
released this week, or0 if this is the second spin off from the traditional
beat 'em up system, to a new Adventure format like Mortal Kombat: Mythologies.
However, the rumor has it that this game is the latter and indeed not your
ordinary fighting brawl.

Scott you n00b, there's already a thread about this.
Read the FAQ
Anyway, maybe this will help the series out of the ditch a little more.

I honestly hope it's not another adventure game seeing the utter monstrosities that the last two were.

Interesting news indeed but Midway better be careful of milking the MK name. Its seems like they are pumping out MK games. I can't wait for more info.

Scary.
WOW!
Liu Kang looks amazing!
I actually hope ITS another MK adventure game. God, people, just because the 2 other sucked badly doesnt mean this one will suck as well, especially now with the many improvements in the gaming world.
By just looking at that pic I can tell its a serious game. The MK storyline has so much potential for going adventure.
I hope this game features more then just shaolin characters (Liu Kang, Kung lao, Kai). It would be nice to see other earth warriors: Sonya/Sub-Zero/Cage as selectable options-
Maybe even Rayden and Scorpion.
MKSF:
I have it, and although its fun, its crap. And having Jax as the only option sucked.
MKSZM:
Just like MKSF, it was fun, but sucked. They didnt do justice to Sub-Zero in this game .or any other character in it actually.

Your post sucks.
Your sig rules.
I guess it all balances out
P.S. Waitaminute, YOU suck too, so to hell with that balance.
P.P.S. I don't really care much about MK at this point, but my opinion is that they should stick with FIGHTING GAMES when it comes to MK. Sure, this game or anything else with "Mortal Kombat" in the title will sell really well, but that doesn't mean it'll be any good.

Even if the game does suck, we know the storyline won't. It'll be good to learn more about Liu Kang and Kung Lao. Maybe Kai will be in it?

I'm happy to read this news, Kung lao and Liu kang are 2 of my favorite MK characters. I hope they make the game great and not rushed.

Whoa... no way... Are you serious?! I don't know how to discribe how I am feeling after reading this news... shocked, surprised, and in awe might do! I know I can't be dreaming, but this 'too good to be true' news just came out of no where! Wow! This is my dream game! A Mortal Kombat game focusing on two of the coolest fighting game characters ever created! YES!!!
Wow, I never thought this game would ever come to be... I remember John Tobias mentioning in an interview way back in 97 when MK Mythologies was released that he would most likely be doing a game focusing on Liu Kang, but instead he went with Special Forces (which would have been a good game if half the crew didn't leave it in the middle of it's production). While he was working on Special Forces though, he mentioned again that he really wanted to do the Liu Kang game next, and I was eagerly looking forward to it. When he left Midway though, and Special Forces ended up never fully materializing, I had to live with the disappointment of never ever seeing the Liu Kang game come to be. And I admit, I didn't even want them to do a Liu Kang game after Tobias left because I felt they'd just mess up his story and it'd end up being a low quality game like Special Forces. And after they killed Liu Kang in Deadly Alliance, that just topped off my fears of how my favorate character would be ruined. But Liu Kang's story in Deception is pretty cool so far, and I have to admit that when I saw the news post about Shaolin Monks, I was indeed over-joyed!
I knew Liu Kang and Kung Lao played a big part in my fandom for MK, but when I saw the disgusting way they killed off my favorate character in Deadly Alliance I realized just how much these two characters made me love MK as much as I do. When I seen the news post on Shaolin Monks, it was like my passion for MK was ignited once again! Why has my opinion on the creation of a Liu Kang and Kung Lao game changed? Well, like I said, from what I've seen with Deception's storyline so far, I like how they are handling Liu Kang's return, and the storyline and story-telling in general seems to be very good. I guess I have a little more acceptance and faith in their abilities to bring forth a good game for my two favorate MK, and fighting game characters of all time.
There's no way I can deny it, I am very excited to see MK Shaolin Monks! The shaolin characters are the coolest! I hope it does these two characters justice. PLEASE DON'T MESS THIS ONE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If there's one thing I want to be in this game, it's a part where you as Liu Kang have to fight against a Tank. Anyone remember the Simpsons parody BoneStorm? I still chuckle at seeing LK get shot by a Tank in the game those kids are playing before BoneStorm and its Goro vs Kintaro gameplay :)
