A search of the
Trademark Electronic Search System (TESS) reveals that on December 21, 2001
Midway Games Inc. registered a new trademark. That trademark is
Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance and it's
Very Probable that this is the title of the upcoming fifth installment of the Mortal Kombat series. We have yet to get a confirmation from Midway on this, so we will update on that once we get it. Thanks to
PlanetMK.com and
MK5.org for the heads up.
UPDATE: Sources at Midway contacted by
MK5.org stated that an announcement was coming soon in some form. It's a good chance that Midway's
Mortal Kombat Breaking News E-Mail List will be emailed with the announcement, so click above to join the list today before it's too late!
UPDATE 2: Midway also seemed to register the following domain names in early Decemeber:
www.mortalkombatdeadlyalliance.com and
www.mkdeadlyalliance.com. Right now one of them redirects to
Midway.com just like
MortalKombat.Midway.com does, which is most likely going to end up being that game's official website like all the other Midway games.
