It’s
been a while since the latest version of Mortal Kombat, the last being
Deadly Alliance, which was pretty darn good (good enough to become a
Greatest Hits title for PS2). With the up-coming MK: Deception the new
high-resolution pictures of the game are starting to get fighting fans
up and rowdy. This game boasts some new features: tiered arenas
(haven’t seen any since MK3), interactive backgrounds (being able to
smash people through objects), hidden weapons, additional modes of play,
and of course new fatalities and other cool things to unlock and find.
At
this point, the character list hasn’t been released so we are left to
guess which will be included, but I have seen pictures of Baraka,
Mileena, Sub-Zero, and Bo Rai Cho so far. I guess the big question will
be whether the return of Baraka will allow for the return of Liu Kang.
Hmm…
Besides
this great information release from Midway, they have also released some
interesting in-game shots and a really neat promotional trailer that
makes my mouth water at getting my evil hands on this game. Hehehehehe.

New
Konquest mode.A completely
redesigned single player Konquest mission will provide an entirely fresh
and exciting gameplay experience by adding the likes of Direct Player
Control, worlds populated by NPC (Non-Player-Controlled) characters,
unique hidden features, a “real time” clock that represents the
equivalent of a 24-hour day and a strong RPG gameplay element.
New
board game mode.In this all-new feature, players will be able to partake in a
game of chess-like strategy, but with a fun (and, of course, bloody)
Mortal Kombat twist.
New
puzzle game mode. With ties to the likes of your favorite puzzle video
games of past, each character in the Mortal Kombat: Deception puzzle
mode will have a super-move they can trigger against their opponent.
Over 10 MK characters will be represented and there is plenty to both
challenge and laugh at in this mode.
