Mortal Kombat 9
Mortal Kombat 9 is the official reboot of the Mortal Kombat franchise. With Warner Bros. now owning the Mortal Kombat series, NetherRealm Studios was tasked to bring Mortal Kombat back to its roots and back to life. The result is Mortal Kombat 9, but the game is being released merely as Mortal Kombat to truly signify its rebirth. The gameplay has returned back to the 2-D plane of old and the game has also returned back to its gory and gritty origins after what many Mortal Kombat fans considered a debacle in Mortal Kombat Vs. DC. With two modes of play (1-on-1 and 2-on-2), the new X-Ray Combos, and an aim to be a tournament worthy game, Mortal Kombat is set to make a huge splash in its return.
