Mortal Kombat has inarguably become one of the most popular fighting game series in the world. Spinning off several crossover titles including Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks, as well as producing two motion picture films, it's clear that Mortal Kombat is here to stay for years to come. In the future we will soon see another reinvention of the series on next-generation consoles, as the Mortal Kombat you are accustomed to is nearing an end. In 2002 Midway Games brought us Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance. This was the series second attempt at bringing Mortal Kombat into the 3D realm of gaming. Introducing three fighting styles per character, as well as a new Konquest and Krypt mode, the game was just the beginning of a taste of things to come. Two years later Mortal Kombat: Deception made its premiere, further pushing the MK:DA engine to all new heights. Multiple fatalities, a revamped Konquest mode, mini-games, and online play was introduced truly showing off what this cult phenomenon had to offer.

Once again backed by the development team of series co-creater Ed Boon and producer John Podlasek, Midway Games is bringing us their final chapter of this saga on the Sony Playstation 2 and Microsoft Xbox. The game is Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, where the final drop of blood will be shed as every single character from the Mortal Kombat universe is brought together for one last battle. Expect only the best as will be introduced to an all new aerial combat system, a kreate-a-fighter mode, as well as a brand new Konquest adventure. Who will survive? What fan favorites will finally meet their true death? The epic battle will begin in October and soon our questions will be put to rest.

Mortal Kombat: Armageddon is set to make its first debut later this month, and Mortal Kombat Online is proud to announce that we will be making our fifth consecutive trip to Los Angeles, California to report LIVE from the Electronic Entertainment Expo!
