You sure that's not photoshopped? And who is the guy between Noob and Sektor?

DLC is really starting to piss me off. The game isnt even out yet, and you are announcing new characters? Why couldn't they be in the original game?

Really starting to get frustrated with how DLC is done.

DLC is gonna be apart of gaming forever you might as well get used to it.....its a way they can keep the game relevant down the road....drop a DLC 5-6 months after the game could possibly get another copy sold....could be someones fav character....more levels....more costumes etc...

With all Shadow themed wallpapers, this feature is a silhouette of what has always ended up being one of the character's in game fatalities. The green aura of the image plays off the sorcerer's soul stealing powers, a trick he seems to be performing on his victim. Given the lack of details on the character in this teaser image, we're unable to tell conclusively what age Shang Tsung is at this juncture, as he has appeared both in his older Mortal Kombat 1 look in stages as well as a younger, Mortal Kombat 3 inspired look in standard gameplay. This is more than likely the former however given the facial hair and what is seemingly a robe attire.

Shang Tsung is the 6th character to receive this treatment. The others include Raiden, Liu Kang, Mileena, Sub-Zero and Scorpion. Stay tuned as these wallpapers usually indicated a series of features on the character, including character vignettes and gameplay trailers!

I don't have a problem with DLC, I just have a problem with announcing DLC like this. You announce it a month before the game comes out and basically just announce characters. Why couldn't that have just been in the game? If they wanted to add like an extra section to the story line with a few characters I might be okay with it.

I really hope that is what ends up happening, but I am not confident.

Joystiq.com are reporting claims that Warner Brothers Interactive Entertainment are likely to adopt a new online "pass token" system that will effect the coming release of Mortal Kombat.

The system -- designed to curb piracy and the growing second-hand market -- will allegedly not be promoted in any aspect by Warner Brothers themselves, who have reportedly sent information packages to retailers via e-mail, with the intention of marketting tokens for independent sale in stores.

In an excerpt published by Joystiq, a price point of $9.99 is made clear, with players able to access a two-day free trial before being forced into a code purchase. The scheme does not seem likely to effect new copies, which come packaged with the required token.

Mortal Kombat, available on April 19 for the PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system and the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, includes a one-time-use registration code that gives players access to all online modes in the game. Players who do not have a code will get a free two-day trial of the online play and then be able to purchase the online modes for 800 Microsoft Points on Xbox LIVE Marketplace and $9.99 on the PlayStation Network.
Competitive online play has been a major feature promoted in the build-up of Mortal Kombat. With brand new purchases expected to contain the required online token, the effect of the new system will likely be minimal as the industry adapts to control its market. Similar systems have already been adopted by EA and THQ.

Despite negative reaction online; EA Chief Financial Officier, Eric Brown, told a 2010 Deutsche Bank 2010 Technology Conference that backlash had not been significant for their sports titles [via gamasutra]. The system, in it's infancy, was credited with extending revenue in the secondary market. WB is expected to utilize the online pass in a variety of upcoming titles, in different capacities.

The original report is available on Joystiq.com. Thanks to kabal-zero for forwarding the article. If you have news, let Mortal Kombat Online know about it via the submissions form. You can also follow MKO on twitter, @MK_Online.

I am buying this game new, so none of that bothers me. I can't blame them for trying to make some money from used games.

So how will the whole pre-ordering to get classic uni's work?

There will be a code on either the receipt or in the game packaging. You just enter that code into the "Redeem Code" spot on X-Box and then you will be taken to the download on X-Box Live.
