Story: Some cataclysmic event causes the DC and MK universes to start merging... The returning MK characters, to compete with the likes of Superman, are getting powered up moves and fighting abilities; supposedly from this cataclysmic event. This cataclysmic event is driven by "magic," which is Superman's weakness; therefore the MK characters are somehow able to take advantage of the magic in their fighting, which apparently balance things out.
General: The Mortal Kombat franchise has stayed to itself for 16 years now, a lone wolf among the pack of fighting game franchises if you will. After the lackluster MK: Armageddon, I suppose Midway figured they needed something "big" to bring back the MK franchise into the mainstream. Well, it really doesn't get much bigger than Superman; so when Midway got the opportunity to collaborate with DC, they took it. You'll be able to play through two separate storylines in the game, one from the MK side and one from the DC side, which will further tell the story of how these two worlds collide.
Boon and his team at Midway have opted to revamp the whole fighting system for MK's next-gen debut. The three main features of the gameplay engine include "Klose Kombat, Freefall Kombat, and stage interaction. "Klose Kombat is a mode that a player can initiate which pulls in the camera in close and has its own separate fighting mechanics. Freefall Kombat is sequence initiated when a player is kicked or thrown off of a stage, where both fighters can continue fighting on the long fall downward; the fighting mechanics again will change for this mode. New stage interaction is tied in with the Freefall Kombat, which features wider and taller stages with plenty of breakable walls.
Another shocker is that this game will have a "T for teen" rating... However, certain characters will have fatalities, but tame enough to warrant a T for teen rating. No ripping off heads or spines this time. There will also be some amount of blood present, along with visible damage and ripped clothing on the fighters. No stage fatalities and no weapon combat either... Boon has stated that the fighting will be strictly hand to hand.
