Warner Bros så helt rigtigt, da de satte NetherRealm til at arbejde på et nyt Mortal Kombat-spil. Vi har tidligere kunne fortælle, at gamerne har taget enddog ganske pænt imod Mortal Kombat tidligere i år, men nu kan Warner fortælle, at de har rundet tre mio. solgte spil. Det er en ganske god bedrift i en genre, som sjældent når så tunge tal. Også Capcoms Street Fighter IV gjorde det sidste år ganske pænt.

London, UK – September 15, 2011 – Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment today announces Mortal Kombat, the latest iteration of the legendary fighting franchise, has sold over three million units worldwide, making it the highest-selling fighting game this year.

“We are very pleased with the success of Mortal Kombat, as it surpassed our expectations in becoming the #1 fighting game in North America released so far this year,” said Martin Tremblay, President, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. “NetherRealm Studios delivered a high quality game which has exceeded our sales goals. We’d like to thank our entire team and all of our partners for their innovative campaigns and tremendous support of Mortal Kombat, as the game sales continue to grow.”

“All of us at NetherRealm Studios are very excited that players have embraced Mortal Kombat. The game was a labor of love for us and we could not be more pleased with its performance,” said Ed Boon, Creative Director, NetherRealm Studios. “Fan reaction to this latest installment has made all of our hard work worth it.”
