"Recent postings of Mortal Kombat 9 voiceover roles have revealed that a few of the series favorites will be making a return:

Shang Tsung

[ MALE 10 ]
Race: sorcerer Allegiance: villain Voice: slight indeterminably Asian accent in two versions: ancient and 40s An evil sorcerer, Male 10 hosts the Mortal Kombat tournament and is the final opponent of any Earth warrior skilled enough to survive to the championship round. His command of sorcery allows him to morph into other warriors, taking on their strengths and abilities. To sustain his life, he consumes the souls of those he defeats. He begins the story as a withered old man, but later is rejuvenated.

Liu Kang

[ MALE 11 ]
Race: Chinese Allegiance: Shaolin monks (hero) Actor: Asian male, 20s, slight undeterminably Asian accent Male 11 is a Shaolin monk. He fought for the right to represent Earthrealm in the Mortal Kombat tournament but lost to his friend and rival. Younger and less experienced than his counterpart, his skill is unquestioned. He just needs to learn how to keep his emotions and impulsiveness in check."

OMG *feints*



Wait, Liu Kang 'lost to his friend and rival.' Meaning he lost to Kung Lao? Are they restarting the series or something?

And who exactly is making this? Surely it's not Midway.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

I think Warner Bros are in talks with Midway to buy the MK franchise amongst some of their other IP.
