Behind closed doors, Midway revealed a few bits of information regarding the next installment of the <STRONG>Mortal Kombat</STRONG> series. We witnessed a short video clip, shown exclusively to select major press outlets, which consisted of a few live-action sequences of the MK dragon symbol in different dark and eclectic settings. Fire was a major element in the clip, appearing in the form of torches and dripping candles around MK dragon symbols. The clip also showed drops of blood hitting a scroll and numerous shots of actors showing their open palms, signifying the number 5 -- one hand was actually branded with a MK dragon. At the end, a close up of the new in-game Scorpion was displayed for a split second. Unfortunately, the shot was not long enough to make a lasting impression.
