Mortal Kombat co-creator Ed Boon has revealed images of a hidden Mortal Kombat themed basketball ‘kourt’ (Kombat – Kourt – gettit?!) via twitter that was going to be unlockable in NBA Jam and until the man himself said no.

It’s got fire around it and skulls and everything. It’s totally awesome. We’re gutted he decided against it.

Anyway, check out the full image at Destructiod.

Ed Boon has confirmed via Twitter that Midway will not release the planned DLC for Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe.

Two characters were planned to be released as DLC for the brawler, but now it seems likely to never happen.

Boon posted an image of Quan Chi on Twitter and stated that while he’s excited about MK9 and Warner Bros. taking the helm at Midway, he wishes the DLC could have been released.

Contained within a Midway press release stating that Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe has shipped 1.8 million units, MK co-founder Ed Boon revealed that the team are already hard at work on another game.

“Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe was the result of countless hours of hard work by many people, and seeing the game surpass the million-seller plateau makes it worth all the effort,” said Boon.

“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.”

According to this Kotaku report, Midway is to show Mortal Kombat Vs DC Universe’s gameplay for the first time at Comic-Con in San Diego on July 25.

The reveal will come s part of a panel discussion with Ed Boon and DC Comics collaborator Jimmy Palmiotti titled, “Worlds Collide: The Making of Midway’s Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe”.

Sounds awesome. Hopefully someone will take a video camera.

Following fears that fatalities would be removed from Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe, series creator Ed Boon has set the record straight on the issue. Basically, they’re in there, but they won’t be as brutal as they used to be.

“There was never any statement on our part that fatalities will be gone or that finishing moves will be gone,” Boon told GameTap.

“We did acknowledge that we won’t be able to do the same kinds of outrageous moves, like tearing someone’s head off and the spine being attached to it. But there are a lot of assumptions that there will be no blood in the game, that there are no fatalities in the game. It’s an assumption that, because the DC characters will be in there, those features will have to be dropped. My response is that, no, we’re modifying fatalities.

“But I have every intention to keep finishers. You know, to let gamers do a really cool secret button combination and follow with a really outrageous finishing move to end the match. The names of these moves, and the level of violence we use, are to be determined. But it’s certainly not a feature we plan on eliminating from the series.”

So now you know. The game is releasing for PS3 and 360 this autumn.
