"Website Teases Next Mortal Kombat
Countdown clock winding down to info.
by Erik Brudvig
March 28, 2008 - A "next-gen" Mortal Kombat was announced back in September of 2006 but hasn't been heard from since. That looks like it is about to change. Noob.com, a website registered to Ed Boon and Midway Games, has recently updated with a countdown clock. Ed Boon is the creative director of the Mortal Kombat team.
The countdown ends in just under 20 days and promises answers when it runs out. It just so happens that Midway's Gamers Day event is April 17, roughly 20 days from now. We're guessing that is not a coincidence.
Along with the counter, the page features dim pictures of a man's eyes and four exotic animals. Underneath the pictures are two number strings. If you assign them to letters of the alphabet, it reads "Free Klose."
Previously while talking on Mortal Kombat, Boon promised to, ".. start new, with a bunch of brand new characters, a whole new fighting system, a new presentation with the new graphics for the new consoles, as well as a new control scheme to take advantage of some of the new technology available."
IGN has contacted Midway with a request for more details on this teaser site and is awaiting a response."
So it looks like we're going to hear something new at Midway's Gamer's Day? Only 20 days away?? I can't freakin wait!!!!
Oh, and what do you suppose "Free Klose" means? Is it an anagram? Who knows, but I can't wait to find out!

Really? Wow. Where the heck was I? Every noob.com thread I've seen has people talking about how the site's down or whatever. It's kinda surprising that the news isn't on the front page yet. Oh well.
Still wondering...
Anyone have any idea what Free Klose means?

I think the site has given up on reporting MK8 news. Its like a lesse faire attitude.

They're talking about it being down... because they've known about the site... for twenty days...
For some reason dodgy MK3 movie info has been given the 'cover story.'
If you scroll a little bit down that, you can see MKO has been keeping tabs on Noob.com developments (the headline image is next to the now ancient Press Start piece).
Further adding to confusion is that the now confirmed MK teaser is still located in the General Discussion forums.

they embarrased themselves with the fake mk8 movie on youtube, now they're taking a precautionary approach....understandable...but I would think a countdown on Ed Boon's personal website would be official enough for a news story.
p.s. the ship sailed on a new mk movie about 8 years ago....let it go threshold....let it go.

Yeah Mick, I knew about the site being down, but the countdown? The fact that the countdown on Boon's own website coinciding with Midway's Gamer's Day?
Yeah, I'd think they'd give that top billing over the MK3 movie that will probably never happen. To me it's the first real news about MK8, so one would think that would take prescedence.
Oh well. If everyone knows about the Noob.com thing, sorry!!
I honestly tried to look around on the MK8 discussion page for any news about it and I went into a few threads and after a while just decided to post on it.

Where did you look? The fan-fic forum? Pocket Kombat?
