I`m not for sure if this is true or not but ED Boon in his latest interview said something about
Mortal kombat 9:Attack of the Dogs. lets hope that `s not the name.I think it is coming late 2009 or some time in 2010
 
Alright, if a worthwhile discussion can be made out of this, then by all means, give it a shot. Just don't let it degenerate into why everyone thinks this guy should be banned.

What title do people expect or desire for the next game?
 
It's a bit early to start speculating the name of the next MK game. The last few games took their names from what was happening in the storyline at the time (Deadly Alliance- Quan Chi and Shang Tsung joined forces, Deception- Shujinko got screwed over, and Armageddon... which kinda speaks for itself). Since we have no idea which way the story is going to turn for the upcoming game, it's kinda impossible to even have a guess at the title yet.
 
That doesn't mean we can't think of some interesting ones! Here I'll start.

---EDIT--- Or, they'll start while I'm typing up this long response.

MK: Subservience

Chronicling Shao Kahn's plan to re-instate himself as ruler of outworld in the wake of Onaga and the Deadly Alliance's defeat. But he realizes his realm has been greatly weakened since Realm of Edenia and the Vampire Realm were removed from his rule. So he seeks out more lands to conquer in the form of the Chaos and Order realms, taking advantage of their bitterness and conflict. This puts Havik and Hotaru in a position to work together, furthering both of their characters. And what's more Shinnok realizes Shao Kahn's bold move interferes with his plans for ALL the realms, hinted at in MKA.


SEE! Good discussion.
 
Mortal Kombat Alpha, which is a new begining for the series. But then thats too close to what Street Fighter used. I think it needs a cool word that means 'Rebirth' or something.
 
I thought of some last night.

Mortal Kombat: Resurrection
Mortal Kombat: New Blood

I think Resurrection would be cool, because it would have meaning if they went back to classic 2D gameplay and cool fatalities. While New Blood would be good if they in fact are only going to let a few live on and make new characters. Plus its a play on words, because MK has always had blood since day one and that was one of its biggest reasons it became popular.
 
Mortal Kombat: Resurrection would be a really good name if MK: Amageddon was canon and this one took place right after that, and the story was something like several MK characters where brought back to life, and how it was a big Resurrection.
 
What about just "Mortal Kombat"

There seems to be a bit of that going around lately. For example the new Prince Of Persia simply being titled Prince Of Persia. Just calling the new MK Mortal Kombat could really work, especially if it is starting off a new continuity with a host of new characters.
 
eey but guys seriously id like to get that feeling back of mortal kombat 2 of megadrive and mortal kombat trilogy of the saturn,
the magic is coming back, but still

it must be like mortal kombat 1
they must start again just like grand theft auto 1 an 2 the 2d versions and then there was gta 3 in 3
and later on they changed again

so i suggest it should be called mortal kombat 1

Actually, using your logic, the next MK should be.......MK5
 
If the next Mortal Kombat must have a subtitle I think it should be something along the lines of the examples below:
Mortal Kombat: Rebirth
Mortal Kombat: Resurrection
Mortal Kombat: Renaissance
Mortal Kombat: Awakening

But for that to work i really want the dark feel of MK I and II to come back. Actually I want the games to be even darker and grittier and take themselves more seriously.

Real quick, another potentially cool name, "Mortal Kombat: Retribution". There sure is a lot of epic "R" words lol.

But honestly I wouldn't mind if they just went back to basics and called it "Mortal Kombat" either.
