Mortal Kombat Creator Talks Canceled Shaolin Monks Sequel

Mortal Kombat series creator Ed Boon revealed a canceled game on Friday - one that would have served as a 'spiritual sequel' to the PlayStation 2 and Xbox co-op game Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks. According to GameInformer online, Ed described the scrapped game (titled Mortal Kombat: Fire & Ice) as another co-op campaign for the series, one that would have featured Scorpion and Sub-Zero as the main characters.

Midway LA (formerly Paradox Development) was already at work on Fire & Ice when it was dropped due to a lack of budget and time frame. Ultimately Midway tanked in 2008, so we probably wouldn't have seen the game produced anyway...but that doesn't quell the wistful pangs of what might have been.
