Mortal Kombat countdown emerges

Midway Games has recently revealed that Mortal Kombat is still right on schedule for its next-gen revival. It seems the gears are in motion. A mysterious website with the Mortal Kombat logo has just emerged with a countdown. What could it mean? More details over at the full article.

Just days ago, Midway Games CEO David Zucker announced that the next-gen debut of Mortal Kombat is following its timetable very well. Apart from that, details have been very elusive – that is, until a mysterious website bearing the game’s logo and a countdown timer appeared.

Seeing that April Fools Day is right around the corner, it is normal to speculate that this is a prank. However, the webpage, Noob.com, is owned by Midway Games and is registered to Ed Boon, which – if you have forgotten – is the co-creator of Mortal Kombat.

What else is there besides the countdown? There are images of a rhinoceros, an aardvark, a gorilla, and an elephant. Underneath these pictures are cryptic numbers which translates to “free klose” when recoded by matching the numbers with letter positions in the alphabet.

The last time QJ.NET came across a countdown, Street Fighter IV was revealed. What could it be this time? Bear in mind that this April 17, closely seventeen days from now, Midway will celebrate Gamers’ Day. This is shaping out into something. A big announcement, perhaps?

QJ.NET shall report the latest updates as we get them. In the meantime, see the website for yourself over at the via link.
