The 2011 ass-kicking sequel Mortal Kombat promises to be the most brutal instalment of the landmark fighting game to date. It's being developed by NetherRealm Studios (the original game's developer under a different name), led by Mortal Kombat creator and creative director Ed Boon, and published by Warner Bros. Interactive for the PS3 and Xbox 360. 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 favourite 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 and the deepest story mode of any fighting game. Players can choose from an extensive line up of the game's iconic warriors and challenge their friends in traditional 1 vs. 1 matches, or take on several new game modes. Mortal Kombat also introduces a number of new game modes as well as the most extensive online experience ever seen in a fighting game. Up to four players can battle "tag-team" - two players can team up in the new "Co-op Arcade Mode" or compete against another team online.
