Midway Games announced plans to bring Mortal Kombat: Deception, the latest Mortal Kombat martial arts franchise incarnation to the Gamecube in the first half of 2005. A European release has yet to be confirmed, but it seems highly likely that Midway will release it on European stores due to the Playstation 2 and Xbox versions launching in late 2004.

Mortal Kombat: Deception takes martial arts-style fighting and the Mortal Kombat franchise to new heights with an innovative engine delivering intensely in-depth, blood-spurting action that will appeal to long-time Mortal Kombat fans as well as current-generation gamers. The game features powerful hand-to-hand and special weapons combat, four unique gameplay modes (Kombat, Konquest, Puzzle and Chess Kombat) along with all-new fighting combinations and multiple character specific fatalities.
