Midway Games' announced today in their Second Quarter Financial Results that Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance will not make it in time for this Fall on Xbox, PlayStation 2, GameCube, and GameBoy Advance. Instead, the game will now be shipping sometime this Winter, presumably before Christmas. Although this means that fans will have to wait a few more months for Deadly Alliance, it is good news that Midway will not be repeating their mistakes of shipping games before they are 100% complete as with previous arcade games.
Today we received three all new, never-seen before, screenshots from Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance. These three images reveal the first shots of Johnny Cage, Kitana, Kung Lao and finally, Frost, the female Sub-Zero character. Check them out below!
In a related note, MK5.org also has three different exclusive screenshots.
Continuing the screenshot blitz, GameSpot has six all new screenshots from MK: Deadly Alliance featuring some cool in-game elements. The images show the first shots of Raiden and of Scorpion's Spear in gruesome action. New stages and new blood effects are also shown in the pics. These screenshots are definitely worth a look, but hurry -- they will no longer be free after next week.
PlanetXbox has a new interview with former MK co-creator and current Studio Gigante President, John Tobias. Tobias shares the team's design philosophies, overall goals for their new fighter, Tao Feng: Fist of the Lotus, and also reveal a few more details on the game's 'Chi' system. Finally, there are a few new screenshots interspersed throughout the interview. Check it out. Thanks Shacknews.
