Midway confirms new Mortal Kombat title for 2008

Midway has revealed that it will be releasing a next-generation iteration of the Mortal Kombat series at some point in 2008.

News comes following a conference call with investors earlier this week, where Midway CEO and President, David Zucker, confirmed plans to release a new instalment in the venerable fighting series this year.

“…Our focus really is not so much on the number of games as it is on creating games that are going to breakthrough and doing a better job of that historically”, commented Zucker.

"Games like This Is Vegas and of course you got Mortal Kombat game this year and others that we think have potential to give us higher unit numbers.”

Information on the game, including its title, has yet to be revealed, though it is expected to receive a multiplatform release on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. A firm release date has also yet to be determined.
