    Well they didn't say when exactly, but its officially completed and ready to go.

    Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and NetherRealm Studios today announce that Mortal Kombat has officially gone gold on the PlayStation(r)3 computer entertainment system and Xbox 360(r) video game and entertainment system from Microsoft. Scheduled to launch on April 19, Mortal Kombat is the most brutal installment of the legendary fighting game to date and is currently available for pre-order at all major retailers across North America.

    Being developed by NetherRealm Studios, led by Mortal Kombat co-creator Ed Boon, the newest chapter of the iconic fight franchise marks a triumphant return to the series' mature presentation and a reinvention of its classic 2D fighting mechanic. Driven by an all new graphics engine, the fan favorite Fatality is back and presented in more gory detail than ever before. In addition, Mortal Kombat introduces a number of new game-play features including tag team, a deep story mode, and, exclusively for the PS3, Stereoscopic 3D. Players can choose from an extensive lineup of the game's iconic warriors and challenge their friends in traditional 1 vs. 1 matches, or take on several new game modes including Challenge Tower and the soon-to-be-announced online modes.

     Can't wait!!!

    I was so hyped for MKA that it became one of my favourite PS2 games ever. Mortal Kombat defies all logic.

    Sure, if only because it isn't getting that much hype outside of this site ;-)
     
    I suspect it will get better reviews than vs DC as a whole - but some people just don't like MK style fighters.

    if the game includes the cutscenes seen in the 'Story Mode' from the Johnny Cage 'Fight Dirty' promo, this game looks to be the best MK yet.  That plus Challenge tower and online = there goes seeing sunlight this summer...

    now I'm just sayin.... I don't want anyone to get mad, so if you think you might get mad, stop reading. Haters Read no more ... yah I'm talkin to you .... later hater.

    MvC3 was the most hyped fighting game of all time. That game was more than 10 years coming and it got more hate than any game I can think of. Alot of crazy things can happen between launch night and the following day.

    Well, MK is very different from MvC and I'm not talking about the gameplay. Most people have actually played MK before and people have fond memories of the first games. And it looks like MK9 is returning to the beloved roots, while bringing it up to date at the same time.
    And on top of that there's an MK demo. MvC3 just got a lot of hype, without people knowing what kind of game it is. Some people imagined it would be a game for everyone, just like Street Fighter(because they never played an MvC game before). Others were hoping for a remake of MvC2. Both didn't happen.
    I don't think there will be any backlash against MK9, except for the "this isn't a proper fighting game it shouldn't be in EVO!" stuff it already gets.
