Mortal Kombat: Armageddon is the title for the next game in the Mortal Kombat fighting game series. It will be released for Xbox and PlayStation 2 video game consoles, rather than Wii, Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3. The reasoning behind the decision to stay on current generation consoles was to wrap up all the current loose ends, and make for a fresh start for the next gen installment.
On October 3, 2005, it was revealed that Midway registered the Internet domain name MKArmageddon.com on September 23, 2005. In addition to breaking the news on the domain name, TRMKadded that Mortal Kombat: Armageddon will feature an enhanced and improved fighting engine used in the previous games, as well as an expanded Konquest mode and that the game would remain on current generation consoles to make these improvements possible.[1]
On October 4, 2005, an online chat event was organized by Mortal Kombat Online, known as Fight Night. Ed Boon publically stated that the next Mortal Kombat game "will have a brand spanking new feature that we are very, very excited to announce." Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks producer, Shaun Himmerick, stated at the chat, "while no platforms have been announced yet, but there is plenty of life left in these current systems." According to Ed Boon, Mortal Kombat: Armageddon will have more characters than any other Mortal Kombat game, although there was no mentioning of returning or new characters.
