Midway Announces New Mortal Kombat

With the latest Mortal Kombat recently hitting store shelves, Midway has gone ahead and announced the next game in the series, Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks. Fans of the MK fighting style may be slightly disappointed as Shaolin Monks will not be a traditional fighting game. Instead, it'll follow a more action-adventure style. It's being developed for the PS2 and Xbox for a fall 2005 release. Midway also made one other MK-related announcement. President David F. Zucker said, "We are planning our Mortal Kombat release schedule with the expectation that we will deliver a new Mortal Kombat title annually."

This is usually about the time that a franchise goes downhill... when a game has to be released every year no new ideas are presented... just the same old stuff. Only time will tell, but I can say for sure that this fact was true with the Tomb Raider Series.
