Mortal Kombat sequel underway

Despite Midway’s impending doom, Ed Boon claims that another edition of Mortal Kombat is on the way–following news of Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe shipping close to 1.8 million units.

While Sonya Blaze and her assorted female friends are no doubt sick of being pimped out on a yearly basis (check the tan lines on her waist), no company’s going to turn down free money in a time like this And it looks like gamers will continue to buy anything recognizable in the forseeable future.

“We’re already hard at work on our next version of Mortal Kombat, and look forward to being able to reveal more details in the future,” Boon said in a press release about MK vs. DCU’s shipping numbers.

Expect to see more sequels and less original IP as we continue down the path of economic decline. As the economy goes, so does gaming innovation.
