MK 7 title revealed?

Team Xbox

Midway Games has filed for the trademark “Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks”, which might be a hint of a possible title for the next Mortal Kombat, a game that Midway has already confirmed it is in development. Midway Games President and CEO, David F. Zucker, confirmed in August that work has begun on the development of Mortal Kombat 7 for the Xbox 2 and PlayStation 3.

This latest filing, made only a couple of weeks ago and published this week, lists computer and videogames, strategy guides, clothing, and action figures as the categories for which the patent applies. Midway has been making quite a few trademark filings in the past months, including the names “L.A. Rush”, “The Wheelman” and “Fear & Respect”.

We’ll have more on Mortal Kombat 7 as it becomes available.

Sounds like it might just be MK 7...

But it also states that it is expected to be for the XBOX 2 and PS3.

Oh, well.....

Videogaming is the contemporary interactive pasttime.

It' s looking like a few franchises are calling things a day on current consoles to prepare for the next generation. Just think what a Mortal Kombat game would look like with next gen graphics though, really brutal no doubt.
