Despite financial turmoil at Mortal Kombat publisher Midway, the Chicago-based MK team is soldiering on with the ninth fighting game in the series, currently known only as MK9. Series co-creator Ed Boon says it will definitely be M-rated.
Boon has been dropping small tidbits about the bloody fighting game sequel via his Twitter account, writing āMotion capturing special moves & fatalities todayā¦.they are kind of sick!!ā Boon also backs up what he told us last year during an interview at Comic-Con, that Mortal Kombat 9 will be a Mature rated gameāand it āisnāt going to have Superheroes in itāāunlike the T-rated, toned down Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe.

Weāve talked to a couple MK team members over the past year who have told us similar things, that MK9 would be ādisgustingā in its violence, a return to form that we expect will be cathartic to longtime Mortal Kombat fans turned off by the less gory MK vs. DCā¦ and maybe even a few of the gameās developers.
