Mortal Kombat: Deception set for Gamecube release

GCN News | Midway confirms that the sixth installment in the Mortal Kombat franchise will make it’s way to the Cube, although a little later than expected.

Mortal Kombat: Deception, previously announced for the Xbox and Playstation 2, has been confirmed, by Midway, as to be heavily in production for the Nintendo Gamecube. The sixth chapter in the Mortal Kombat franchise will however appear on the Gamecube in 2005.

Midway reassured us that the Gamecube version was put on hold until Midway’s internal Mortal Kombat team could complete the obstacles of bringing the fighting series online for the two other consoles. Whilst the task isn’t completely finished, Midway has assigned a team that can now begin work on Mortal Kombat: Deception for the Nintendo console.

Unfortunately, online play isn’t planned for the Gamecube version, for obvious reason, although Midway does plan to incorporate some sort of exclusive content in exchange. However, details on the exclusive content have yet to be announced.

Mortal Kombat: Deception will make its first public debut at this year’s Gamestars Live Event, to be held in London during the first week of September. PALGN will naturally be at the event and will be one of the first sets of gamers to go hands-on with the much-anticipated Mortal Kombat title.

Now thats just wrong .. you would expect a game that has no online play be released before a game that does have it ..

Only way MIdway can justify this is by making link a playable character with his own fatalities .. yeah that would be awesome

Midway has their resources cut out for them Online play for the other consoles takes precedence. Makes sense.

Hey, at least there's some exclusive content on offer. Very reasonable. Deception is shaping up to be a very good fighter - a far cry from its predecessors (and from what I have gathered form the E3 2004 preview) and promises more interactivity than most fighting games, such as environment-specific fatalities.

deadly alliance was the first MK game not to have arena specific fatalities...
