Mortal Kombat creator Ed Boon has explained that his next game is "going to be a real serious Mortal Kombat" in an interview with CVG.

Speaking about what"s coming after Armageddon, he said the new title will be "a lot more realistic-looking... we"re not going to joke around in this one, it"s not going to be like jokes".

It suggests a more edgy style for the next Mortal Kombat game, Boon reaffirming that it"ll be "a lot grittier, dirtier" than previous titles in the series.

"It"s going to be a fighting game, definitely, but after that anything can go", he added, talking about the fact that he"s starting from scratch for the new game.
