We just got official word from <b>Warner Bros</b> that <a href="http://www.trmk.org/games/mortal_kombat_9/">Mortal Kombat (2011)</a> has officially <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_master">gone gold</a>, and has been released for final disc manufacturing. Congrats goes out to everyone at <b>NetherRealm Studios</b> for their hard work and dedication in finishing this game.

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and NetherRealm Studios today announce that Mortal Kombat has officially gone gold on the PlayStation(r)3 computer entertainment system and Xbox 360(r) video game and entertainment system from Microsoft. Scheduled to launch on April 19, Mortal Kombat is the most brutal installment of the legendary fighting game to date and is currently available for pre-order at all major retailers across North America.

Being developed by NetherRealm Studios, led by Mortal Kombat co-creator Ed Boon, 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 favorite 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, a deep story mode, and, exclusively for the PS3, Stereoscopic 3D. Players can choose from an extensive lineup of the game's iconic warriors and challenge their friends in traditional 1 vs. 1 matches, or take on several new game modes including Challenge Tower and the soon-to-be-announced online modes.

Man, the anticipation is crazy! The demo really helped in showing the potential of this, and it's now only 2 weeks away. Hope to see lots of you guys online! Congrats, NRS, we truly are your fans, and we are so grateful for all of the hard work, dedication, and sacrifice that comes in bringing your baby to the masses. Toasty!!!

I agree...spoilers suck, and so does the prospect of NRS not getting a dime from pirates and ninjas. If ninjas could fit a credit card in their outfit, perhaps we'd see more payments? Probably not...I can't imagine seeing the likes of Noob Saibot waiting in line with the rest of us misfits to purchase a copy. Maybe Subbie would just freeze the line and cut in front, while Scorp would just lasso his copy in and run. Silly ninjas...
 
I can't believe it took this long to go gold. Usually games go gold around a month before release. It's great news though, only 2 weeks left!
 
No way it just barely went gold. They would never make the release dates they have if they just started production right now.
 
While I agree that Pirating games is wrong, part of me can't wait till people get a hold of this game and start posting info.
 
I think goes means right now and gone means the past.(nonsense lol)

So apparently they think this is the right time to tell us the big news.
 
All it means is they have the final disc (shipping product) and mass production can be started. This happened a while ago or MK isn't making its release dates. I'm sure this is just a nice reminder for PR purposes.
 
nice one netherealm:) thanks for all your hard work we can all get our eager paws on the game

Now that they announced it going gold, that means this increases the probability of getting it early.
