Mortal Kombat 9 is the working title for an upcoming new fighting game in the Mortal Kombat series, currently in development by WB Games Chicago, formally known as Midway Games Chicago.[1]
The game was first hinted at by developer Ed Boon on January 2009, shortly after the release of the previous game in the franchise, Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe.[2]
Recently, on June 18, Boon confirmed in his Twitter page that they were performing motion capture for the game. He also revealed that the game will not have superheroes in it this time around[3], thus ruling out a sequel to Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe, and that they were again aiming for a "Mature" rating, contrarily to the "Teen" rating attained by the previous game.[4][5]

[edit] Development
The MK team mentioned and teased Mortal Kombat 9 again, which they jokingly referred to as MK9: Attack of the Dogs. People weren't sure what that means, but the audience said it'll be interesting to see what they have up their sleeves. Ed had mentioned before that development has already begun in some form.[6]
As Boon mentioned before, he promised he would bring back the gore and bloody violence as he said he would. Recently, in a Mortal Kombat site[7], Midway sent a public annoucement, saying they are hiring for some voice acts for certain characters for the upcoming Mortal Kombat game [8][9].
Voice talents are still unknown at this time, as yet Midway are still looking for voice acts and who should they portray as.[10]
Since Mortal Kombat 9 is the next game in the MK series, the game will be developed on an updated version of Midway's custom modified Unreal Engine 3 that was used on Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe, and is expected to be released for all on the Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 gaming consoles late in 2010.
However, a few months after the release of Mortal Kombat VS. DC Universe, Midway Games (Before being sold to Warner Bros.) announced that the engine that was used to develop the latest Mortal Kombat was an AutoDesk Software.
[edit] Release
It was confirmed by Boon that the game won't be completed until 2010. What's also suspected in the release is that Warner Bros. will improve the Online Compatibilities to it's "Gold Standards".
