Midway Games announced today that Mortal Kombat: Deception has shipped more than one million units to retail stores across North America. The latest entry in the hugely successful franchise has become the fastest selling game in the history of Midway, outselling its hit predecessor, Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance, by more than 35% in its first week of release.
Helping drive sales is the introduction of an online mode that has enabled more than 130,000 brawls via PlayStation 2 broadband since the game’s launch six days ago. Mortal Kombat: Deception also provides players with four independent gameplay modes, hand-to-hand and special weapons combat, secret and returning characters, new moves/combinations and all-new life-threatening environments.
Mortal Kombat: Deception is rated "M" for Mature and is available now for PlayStation 2 and Xbox, with a GameCube version expected in early 2005.
