Mortal Kombat developers to split from Midway?

It has been reported that the development team behind the legendary Mortal Kombat franchise is currently locked in talks with other companies as they look for a possible split away from Midway.

As reported by Kotaku, the team, said to be comprised of around 50 developers are unhappy over a lack of bonus payments that were agreed on based on Mortal Kombat Vs DC Universe sales.

Another factor in this possible move away is a state of frustration with regards to Midway’s handling of their financial troubles.

A PR rep stated: “Midway is not refusing to pay out those bonuses, It’s the unsecured creditors committee that is refusing to allow us to pay them. They’re the ones holding that up.”

What do you think of the news? Could you picture a future Mortal Kombat game without involvement from Midway. No doubt there will be many publishers interested in the talents of the MK team. Share your views below.
