Taken from the Magazine:

GamePro: Can you tell us something more about the story?

John Vogel: A new evil power will appear. It will lead the world to a total annihilation. During the years the Elder Gods have expected this and they have prepared for it. With the aid of the chosen one they will try to protect all that exist.

GamePro: Have you changed the fighting system?
Paulo Garcia: Yes. We did. Now there are a lot more special moves per character, so the fans of the old games will not be disappointed. The classic MK-Uppercut will return also.

GamePro: Is there going to be a Krypt in this game?

Brian Lebaron: Yes, but this time the Krypt will be a part of the Konquest Mode. You will again need coins to open the stuff. But this time there will be a lot of things that you will not be able to unlock in the Krypt. You will have to find another way to discover them.

Thats all folks!
