Screens & Info Updated: 6/16/2005 This September, prepare to experience the Mortal Kombat world from an entirely new, action/adventure perspective in Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks. Set in the time period between the first MK Tournament and MKII, you’ll be challenged to explore the always dangerous and action-driven Mortal Kombat universe (in single and/or co-op mode) through the eyes of two of the franchise’s most popular Shaolin Monks: Liu Kang & Kung Lao. Stay tuned for much more on Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks in the upcoming weeks.
Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks is an Action/Adventure title driven by both intense single and multi-player action. Similar to the recently released Mortal Kombat: Deception, background interactions (i.e., acid pits, living trees, spiked ceilings, etc.), multiple new fatalities, and action-based puzzles will also play an important role in the player’s quest for an “outstanding” victory. Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks will feature an impressive line-up of Mortal Kombat characters, as well, that make frequent appearances as enemies, in boss battles and during several additional in-game interactions. “For the first time ever, Mortal Kombat fanatics will get to explore all the mythos and rumors of the Mortal Kombat universe from an entirely new perspective. Action/Adventure fans will be blown away by the intuitive kombat system, puzzle solving and epic storyline that can be experienced in either the single player mode or through co-op play,” said Mortal Kombat creator, Ed Boon. “Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks is an Action/Adventure title that will help to expand the already wildly popular Mortal Kombat universe well beyond the fighting genre,” said David F. Zucker, president and chief executive officer. “Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks is also our first step toward delivering something that Mortal Kombat fans have been calling for: a new game set in the Mortal Kombat universe every year. We are planning our Mortal Kombat release schedule with the expectation that we will deliver a new Mortal Kombat title annually.” - First Ever MK Action/Adventure with Multi-Directional Kombat System: Levy attacks in any direction at any time, all the while not losing focus on the primary target (with unique animations and properties for every direction). Experience incredible depth of combat via Strings, Juggles, Special Attacks, Air Combat and Fatalities.
- Single or Two-player co-op gameplay: Play as Liu Kang or Kung Lao, each with their own unique repertoire of four “Attack Styles” plus Special Attacks, and Fatalities. Unlock additional characters and abilities through various gameplay systems.
