MK vs. DC Confirmed (PS3)

Midway Games today confirmed that Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe is in development. As the name would suggest, Mortal Kombat characters (including Scorpion and Sub Zero) will be facing off against various the DC comic book heroes (such as Batman and Superman). Veteran comic writers Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray will create the game's story.

"It is a truly unique and extremely exciting effort to be teaming up with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and DC Comics for the first Mortal Kombat game on next generation platforms," said Ed Boon, co-creator and executive producer for Mortal Kombat at Midway Amusement Games. "The DC Universe characters are some of the most popular and enduring characters in the world. By combining them with the Mortal Kombat mythology, all new gameplay modes and features, plus a completely unique storyline crafted by top comic writers, players will now be able to answer the question: what would happen if Batman fought Sub Zero?"

"For the first time, players will be able to go toe to toe with DC and MK characters in both arena and story mode," said John Nee, Senior Vice President, Business Development for DC Comics. "We've worked very closely with Midway to bring an authentic DCU flavor to their Kombat and the result features our characters like they've never been seen before."

Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe will ship for PS3 and Xbox 360 in Fall 2008.
