Midway has gone on record to say that the much-rumoured Mortal Kombat 5 is in development for both PlayStation 2 and Xbox. The game will first be available in the arcades, possibly on the new Naomi 2 arcade system from Sega. The companies have been in discussions for some time about collaborating on an arcade project.
Midway also announced that it will be releasing twelve PlayStation 2 games, ten Xbox games and nine GameCube titles in 2002.
