While 'Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe' was
not exactly a bad game, many fans were miffed over the fact that the franchise's trademark fatalities were severely
toned down to fit with the DC license. However, the game
sold rather well, and while it was already revealed quite a while ago that a new MK title is in development, its future is somewhat uncertain because of
Midway's state of affairs. Nonetheless, creator
Ed Boon revealed that work on Mortal Kombat 9 is proceeding and that a recent motion capture session promises to bring the series back to its M-rated roots with "sick" fatalities.

Midway has been struggling with finances for quite a while, filing losses year after year, which led to its main shareholder
selling the company for $100k. Last month, Midway
filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and
asked Ubisoft for help with publishing Wheelman. According to
recently filed court documents, Midway is looking for "execution of an asset purchase agreement for the sale of Midway's Mortal Kombat franchise assets," which means it wants to sell the MK franchise, giving upper management a bonus for doing so, while
cutting employees' promised PTO (personal time off).
