Mortal Kombat Online has a tradition of hosting chatroom interviews with the
MK Team after the release of a new game. However, this year's "Fight Night" chat session has come to us a fews days before the release of
Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe. Based on previous Fight Nights over the years, the
MK Team usually ends up posting a lot of silly answers as opposed to serious ones, but this year's was actually pretty informative. While there were still a lot of odd messages posted by various
MK Team members (ahem, Mr. Pesina), a majority of fan questions were answered respectively.
Here are a few important bits of information revealed:
- Only two fatalities will be censored for the US version - Joker's and Deathstroke's gun fatalities. The fatalities themselves will be the same, but with slight camera angle differences.
- Dark Kahn will not be a playable character.
- Midway will release a Dark Kahn render after the game's release.
- Johnny Cage makes an appearance in story mode. Why he and other MK1 & MKII characters are not playable in the game will be explained in both story mode and the Kollector's Edition comic book.
- PS3 PAL and NTSC will not be able to play against each other.
- 14 total arenas
- Practice mode is very robust.
- MK Team had about 30 DC characters to choose from before narrowing the final roster down to eleven.
- Quan Chi plays a very large role in story mode.
- Shao Kahn and Darkseid are very powerful but play like normal characters - can be thrown, put into free-fall/klose kombat, etc.
- Story mode is not like konquest from previous games. It is very cinematic, with strictly 1-on-1 matches.
